Seismic assessment of rc structures with infill masonry panels in Nepal: sensitivity analysis [PDF]
, 2014 Reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in Nepal are constructed as RC frames with masonry infill panels. These structures exhibit a highly non-linear inelastic behaviour resulting from the interaction between the masonry infill panels and the surrounding ...

CO2 Fluxes and Soil Responses to Straw and Herbicide in Peanut
Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Peanut cultivation plays an important agronomic role in Brazil, especially in rotation with sugarcane, promoting biological nitrogen fixation and improving soil quality. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the combined use of sugarcane mulch, peanut cultivation, and herbicide application would affect soil CO₂ fluxes, soil chemical ...

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.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This study analysed and modelled summertime indoor temperature dynamics in the Netherlands using a unique long‐term crowdsourced dataset from seven residences (spanning 2–27 years). Indoor temperatures were found to rise and cool more slowly than outdoors (mean 260 minute lag), with heatwave signals persisting about five days.

Journal of Environmental Engineering and Landscape Management, 2013 The article notes that not all types of plant origin waste are appropriate for being used as fuel or left for decay. The environment is polluted by noxious gas that is generated in the process of heating or decaying. Sulphur waste is produced at chemical

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates how construction waste intensity affects greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe), analyzing data from 345 buildings constructed between 2007 and 2025. Using material waste rates (MWR) from previous cases, it predicts climate impacts based on typical material compositions.

Dynamic one-sided out-of-plane behavior of unreinforced-masonry wall restrained by elasto-plastic tie-rods [PDF]
, 2019 Past earthquakes have shown the high vulnerability of existing masonry buildings, particularly to out-of-plane local collapse mechanisms. Such mechanisms can be prevented if façades are restrained by tie rods improving the connections to perpendiculars ...
