Buildings, 2023 The direct modeling of masonry infill walls on many buildings, based on damage recorded by various past earthquakes, has become increasingly necessary in order to identify the seismic behavior of these elements, which constitute an important part of ...

SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF UNREINFORCED CONCRETE MASONRY INFILL WALLS
Proceedings of International Structural Engineering and Construction, 2021 The majority of new and existing building inventories in the Middle East consist of reinforced concrete skeletal structures with outer shells composed of unreinforced masonry infill walls. In the absence of any mandatory seismic design requirements, these buildings will sustain catastrophic damage when exposed to high seismic activity.

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 ...

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 ...

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
