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

Experimental evaluation of shear and compression strength of masonry wall before and after reinforcement: Deep repointing [PDF]

, 2007
Masonry presents some inadequacies due to its almost total lack of tensile strength. Typical damage to multiple leaf walls during earthquakes is the loss of bond between the leaves with consequent collapse of the external leaf.

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

Field Theory and Colonialism: Indirect Colonial Situation as a Social Field in Egypt (1882–1922)

Sociology Lens, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper argues that Egypt under British rule (1882–1922) constituted a field of power in which the local state of Egypt and the British administration competed to dominate three key subfields to ensure control over a contested territory: the modern courts system, policing, and agricultural production.

Compressive and shear behaviour of masonry panels: experimentation and numerical analysis [PDF]

, 2018
The compressive and shear behavior of masonry is here studied both experimental- ly and numerically. An experimental campaign has been carried out on 9 square-shaped one leaf masonry panels, reproducing historical masonry.

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.

Banking Development and the Economic Impact of Natural Disasters: From Short to Long Term Effects

Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates how financial development and local banking structures shape the economic resilience of communities in the aftermath of natural disasters. Focusing on Italian municipalities hit by earthquakes between 2008 and 2022, we explore the role of banking presence, particularly cooperative banks, in supporting recovery.

Effect of unbonded prestressing steel in terms of serviceability

Civil and Environmental Engineering
One of the methods of strengthening bridges is strengthening using unbonded post-tensioned prestressing steel e.g. strands type monostrand. The individual strands, protected with grease and HDPE coating, are routed polygonally.
