Structural Repointing of Masonry Structures
Key Engineering Materials, 2019 Existing masonry structures are often in need of strengthening due to the limited masonry tensile strength and consequent occurrence of cracks, which can lead to collapse of the structure. To control the cracking phenomena and increase the load associated with a certain collapse mechanism, structural repointing by means of reinforcing bars inserted in ...

Effect of an acidic environment on a glass fibre reinforced polymer grid [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2020 The article deals with the effect of an acidic environment on the mechanical properties of a Glass Fibre Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) grid. GFRP composites are prone to the absorption of surrounding media which are either of a liquid or gaseous state, and ...

On the equilibrium of simplicial masonry structures [PDF]
ACM Transactions on Graphics, 2013 We present a novel approach for the analysis and design of self-supporting simplicial masonry structures. A finite-dimensional formulation of their compressive stress field is derived, offering a new interpretation of thrust networks through numerical homogenization theory.

Modal analysis of masonry structures [PDF]
Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids, 2018 This paper presents a new numerical tool for evaluating the vibration frequencies and mode shapes of masonry buildings in the presence of cracks. The algorithm has been implemented within the NOSA-ITACA code, which models masonry as a nonlinear elastic material with zero tensile strength.

On the effects of modified lane configuration due to construction works on bridge loading
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022 Construction works are frequently recurring events within highway networks, temporarily altering the characteristics of the traffic flow and hence of the bridge loading process. Consequently, highway bridge superstructures usually carrying unidirectional
