Effect of Brick Types on Compressive Strength of Masonry Prisms
International Journal of Technology, 2016 This study investigates brick types and masonry prisms under compressive loading according to ASTM C1314–14 as the basic parameters for evaluating lateral resistance of masonry infill walls and to compare compressive strength amongst various brick ...

Multi‐Scale Bionic Structure Constructs Biomass Flame‐Retardant Thermal Insulation Foam Material
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Inspired by mussel adhesion and hierarchical brick‐and‐mortar architectures, a cellulose‐based biomimetic foam is constructed by anchoring bentonite nanosheets onto a polydopamine‐decorated cellulose nanofiber network. The resulting foam combines low thermal conductivity with intrinsic flame retardancy and full biodegradability, presenting a ...

Testing of Damaged Single-Bay Reinforced Concrete Frames Strengthened with Masonry Infill Walls
Buildings, 2023 Despite achieving consensus and having current knowledge on the behaviour and contribution of masonry infill walls, there remain unresolved issues regarding their nonlinear behaviour as a method for strengthening existing reinforced concrete (RC) frames ...

Fragility functions for masonry infill walls with in‐plane loading [PDF]
Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2017 SummaryRecent seismic events have provided evidence that damage to masonry infills can lead not only to large economic losses but also to significant injuries and even fatalities. The estimation of damage of such elements and the corresponding consequences within the performance‐based earthquake engineering framework requires the construction of ...
