Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract In practice, reinforced concrete (RC) wall‐like columns often have openings to facilitate building services, which creates stress concentrations around the opening, resulting in the weakening of their load‐carrying capacity. This study proposes innovative strengthening methods using near‐surface mounted (NSM) incorporating steel materials to ...

The Impact of a Pre‐Existing Defect on Liability for Property Damage: Taylor v Jones
The Modern Law Review, EarlyView.Taylor v Jones involved liability for causing damage to a building that had a pre‐existing defect. The defendant was in principle liable for the cost of repairing the damage. However, the Court of Appeal denied liability for the cost of repairing the pre‐existing defect even though such repair was necessary to restore the building to the state it would

REPAIR AND RECONSTRUCTION FOR URBAN COMMONING: The Making of the Liberated Spaces in Naples
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Commoning requires repair. Where capitalist logics of accumulation, enclosure and exclusion produce abandoned space through the city, urban commoners remake that space to serve the needs of inhabitants. Without hiding the paradoxes and risks of repair, based on years‐long ethnography in the Liberated Spaces in Naples, Italy, we demonstrate how
