Out-of-plane dynamic response of a tuff masonry wall. Shaking table testing and numerical simulation [PDF]
, 2017 The out-of-plane dynamic response of a masonry element is investigated, both experimentally and numerically. The results of shaking table tests on a tuff masonry wall, subjected to harmonic acceleration histories, are presented.

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In Upper Mesopotamia, the transition from the Pre‐Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) to Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B (PPNB) period, ca. 10 800–10 600 cal. BP, is marked by a series of changes in chipped stone industries, architectural forms, symbolic objects, regional distribution of settlements and long‐distance exchange networks among others.

The load bearing capacity of railway masonry arch bridges [PDF]
, 2018 This paper deals with the way of calculating the load-bearing capacity of masonry arch railway bridges. It reviews the basic aspects of structural behaviour of these bridges, such as material non-linearity of masonry and interaction with the soil ...

Modeling Approaches for Masonry Structures [PDF]
The Open Civil Engineering Journal, 2014 Different scale approaches, micromechanical, multiscale and macromechanical or phenomenological, are presented to study the structural response of masonry elements. First, a micromechanical model is introduced and the masonry is considered to be a heterogeneous material, made of mortar and bricks joined by interfaces, where the mortarbrick decohesion ...

Digital documentation of railway tunnel inspection in Austria
Civil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 3-8, March 2025.Abstract Infrastructure, especially railway tunnels, require continuous inspection to ensure their safety. Furthermore, the detection of damages at an early stage can improve their service life. These tasks represent a major challenge for those involved and the tunnel down time is a disruption in operation.

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
