Numerical model to account for the influence of infill masonry on the RC structures behaviour [PDF]

, 2005
It is a common misconception considers that masonry infill walls in structural RC buildings can only increase the overall lateral load capacity, and, therefore, must always be considered beneficial to seismic performance.

Mechanics of hollow concrete block masonry prisms under compression: Review and prospects [PDF]

, 2007
The aim of this work is to critically assess the mechanical properties of hollow concrete masonry using experimental results from prisms constructed with blocks of two different strengths and four types of mortar.

Arianna's Palette: A Diagnostic Study of the Painting Walls of the Domus of Arianna in Pompeii

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The House of Arianna, also known as the House of Colored Capitals, represents, with its 1700 m2 of floor space, one of the most majestic examples of a residence within the Pompeii archaeological site. The research developed within the project “Cultural Heritage Active Innovation for Sustainable Society—CHANGES” reports the outcomes of the ...

Modelling formation and development of longitudinal cracks in concrete crossing corroding reinforcement

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2002
Tensile stresses in concrete occur under the action of reinforcement rust pressure. When they exceed concrete tensile strength or concrete extension strain exceeds limit value, concrete cracks.

A comment on towers for windmills [PDF]

Design considerations for windmill tower structures include the effects of normal wind forces on the rotor and on the tower. Circular tabular or masonry towers present a relatively simple aerodynamic solution. Economic factors establish the tubular tower

Dynamic investigation on the Mirandola bell tower in post-earthquake scenarios [PDF]

, 2016
After the seismic events of the 20th and 29th of May 2012 in Emilia (Italy), most of the monumental and historic buildings of the area were severely damaged. In a few structures, partial collapse mechanisms were observed (e.g.

Ring‐Width Dendrochronology, Isotopic Dendrochronology and Radiocarbon Dating of Timbers From the Spire Scaffold of Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire, England

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ten timbers from the spire scaffold of Salisbury Cathedral were dated using a combination of ring‐width dendrochronology, stable oxygen isotopic dendrochronology and radiocarbon dating. Seven timbers were coeval and assigned a combined empirical felling date range of 1352–1378, which was further refined to 1351–1359 (OxCal 95.4%).
