An Experimental Study on the Effect of Water on Historic Brickwork Masonry [PDF]

, 2020
Architectural heritage is deeply threatened by extreme weather events due to ongoing climatic change. Since these phenomena are becoming more and more serious, their effects cannot be neglected when a reliable assessment of a historic masonry structure ...

Study on the Influence of Slope Static Load on Shallow Lining Support Structure

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
On the basis of the background of the shallow‐buried main adit supported by stone lining, the mechanical model of the supporting structure is constructed, and the stability of the supporting structure is analyzed by using the methods of field investigation, theoretical analysis, and numerical simulation.

Evaluation of an Approximate Seismic Assessment Procedure for Load-Bearing Masonry Buildings

Infrastructures
The Building Inspection Priority Index (BIPI) method for masonry structures is an approximate procedure for the preliminary assessment of the seismic capacity of existing load-bearing masonry buildings and for the prioritization of each building for ...

Effect of Thin Cement-Based Renders on the Structural Response of Masonry Wall Panels

Applied Sciences, 2018
URM (Unreinforced Masonry) historic buildings can be generally arranged into three categories: adobe, brick and stone masonry. However, a common feature of URM structures is typically the low mechanical properties of the masonry material, especially in ...

The effect of masonry infill walls on the reinforced concrete frames behavior under lateral load [PDF]

, 2020
The reinforced concrete structures with masonry infill walls are widely used to construct buildings in Algeria, as in many parts of the world. According to earthquake analysis, this type of construction can undergo serious damage under seismic load.

CFD Analysis of Dual‐Layer PCM Roofs for Thermal Mitigation in Residential Buildings

Heat Transfer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a computational fluid dynamics analysis of dual‐layer phase change material (PCM) roofs for passive cooling in residential buildings under the hot and humid climate of Bangladesh. A three‐dimensional transient model was developed in ANSYS Fluent using the enthalpy–porosity approach to simulate coupled heat conduction ...

Derivation of fragility curves for traditional timber-framed masonry buildings using nonlinear static analysis [PDF]

, 2013
Recent earthquakes and two experimental campaigns on timber-framed masonry walls have shown that timber-framed masonry buildings possess a good displacement capacity and hence can withstand severe earthquakes without collapse.
