BuildingsThrough low-cycle reciprocating tests on 11 masonry wall specimens strengthened using reinforced-concrete–masonry composite columns, the effects of the position of the composite column, height-to-width ratio, column reinforcement ratio, and axial load ...

Research on Damage Characteristics of Brick Masonry under Explosion Load
Shock and Vibration, 2021 As the main structural component of partition wall or load-bearing wall, brick masonry has been widely used in construction engineering. However, brick and mortar are all brittle materials prone to crack.

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Carnac alignments in Morbihan (France) are among the most famous Neolithic sites of the world. Paradoxically, they have benefited little from a thorough renewal of archaeological data over the past century. There are many reasons for this, but it is mainly because the site has been regarded more as a monument to visit and protect than as ...

Factors determining the quality of masonry – differentiation of resistance and reliability
Budownictwo i Architektura, 2020 A house or any other building without walls is truly hard to imagine. The first thing usually associated with walls is, of course, masonry. Today, masonry walls perform a load-bearing function in buildings up to four above-ground floors, in the higher ...

Numerical modelling of in-plane behaviour of adobe walls [PDF]
, 2010 Some tests for material characterization of adobe blocks and adobe masonry have been carried out in universities and laboratories around the world. However, the number of tests is quite limited in comparison with those carried out with other structural ...

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 ...

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.

Numerical Simulation of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings with Timber Diaphragms
Buildings, 2021 Though flexible diaphragms play a role in the seismic behaviour of unreinforced masonry buildings, the effect of the connections between floors and walls is rarely discussed or explicitly modelled when simulating the response of such buildings.

Hygro-thermal performance of wooden beam ends: experimental investigations of uninsulated and internally insulated brick wall [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2020 Wooden floors were traditionally used in brick apartment houses built at the turn of 20th century in many European cities. Thermal renovation of such houses often involves thermal insulation at interior side of external walls.
