Investigating Pompeii Subsoil Using Geomatics and Geophysics Merged Analyses
Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The archaeological site of Pompeii represents an exceptional context for the application of non‐invasive and integrated investigation methods aimed at enhancing the understanding of both exposed and buried remains. This study presents the results of multidisciplinary research conducted in the Palestra Grande site, a large and strategically ...

Assessment of the Out-of-Plane Resistance of Masonry Infill Walls [PDF]
Civil-Comp Proceedings, 2015 Observation of damage after earthquakes has highlighted that out-of-plane failures of masonry infill walls may often occur even in the case of low or moderate earthquakes, causing both casualty risks for people and unfavourable situations affecting the overall structural response. In recent years, several experimental tests have been carried out trying

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Through shear–tensile creep tests and viscoelastic modeling, the fracture evolution of thick soft protective layers is clarified. Results show thickness‐dependent rheological failure modes that govern four types of roof water inrush, providing a mechanism‐based framework for hazard prediction and control. Abstract In the Jurassic coal‐bearing strata of

AGG+In many countries, reinforced concrete (RC) frames are widely utilized as the primary building structure. The infill is typically composed of traditional masonry (brick elements connected with mortar), commonly without isolation from the frame.

Out-of-plane Proof Testing of Masonry Infill Walls [PDF]
Structures, 2018 Proof testing of multiple fired-clay-brick unreinforced masonry (URM) infill walls set within reinforced concrete frames was undertaken using airbags to simulate out-of-plane (OOP) loading. The proof testing was conducted to provide engineers in various research and practitioner roles with verified wall behaviour for the purpose of seismic assessment ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Considering the needs for reducing carbon emissions and except for extreme cases of very degraded existing structures, research on technologies allowing continued use or upgrading of older buildings has become a priority topic. Generally, research on upgrading of reinforced concrete frame structures certainly has a prominent role, because of ...

Influence of Infill Wall Configuration on Failure Modes of RC Frames
Shock and Vibration, 2018 An improper configuration of masonry infill walls in RC frame may lead to short column effect on the columns, which is harmful to the seismic behavior of the structure.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite increasing attention to the seismic performance of masonry infills, their out‐of‐plane dynamic behaviour remains insufficiently explored, particularly under pre‐existing in‐plane damage. This study presents a comprehensive experimental campaign designed to investigate the seismic behaviour of an existing weak masonry infill typology ...
