Influence of the internal layer cracks on the cracking of flexural three-layer concrete members

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2002
Three-layer structures made of concrete-type materials usually have an internal layer of a less strength, which serves as thermal insulation and makes the structure more light.

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%).

Behaviour of small masonry assemblages reinforced with a steel cord reinforced joint repointing

, 2016
Unreinforced masonry (URM) walls are one of the oldest and most common types of construction elements in the world. However they are susceptible to failure when exposed to overstresses, caused by out-of-plane and in-plane loads.

An Archaeometric Approach to Reveal Organic Compounds via GC‐MS Analyses of Two Discovered Incense Burners at Daba Al‐Bayah

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study focuses on two terracotta incense burners discovered in the Daba Al‐Bayah necropolis in the Musandam Peninsula (Oman), associated with an Iron Age collective tomb (LCG‐2). Through gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS), the organic residues preserved within these artifacts were analyzed to investigate their use and ...

Influence of longitudinal reinforcement on development of normal cracks

Journal of Civil Engineering and Management, 2005
Using a model of normal crack propagation in reinforced concrete members, an analytical expression is presented for the stress intensity factor defining the intensity of stress in area at the crack tip. This factor is in linear relationship to the stress
