Experimental Study on the Seismic Performance of a Partition Damped Wall-Filled Frame Structure
Shock and Vibration, 2019 In the past, earthquakes have caused significant damage to traditional masonry filler wall frame structures. To solve this problem, a new design scheme, the partition damping filler wall, is proposed in this paper to reduce the interaction between the ...

ce/papers, 2018 AbstractA correct design project should not only control the load‐bearing capacity and stability of the individual elements but also ensure proper cooperation between these elements. Connection of masonry walls is crucial for durability of the building, safety of its users, and thermal insulation of external walls.

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 603-623, March 2026.ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 781-803, March 2026.ABSTRACT Over recent decades, the collection of seismic data has improved the understanding of near‐fault ground motion effects, which involve both horizontal and vertical components. Among the most significant effects are fault‐normal directivity, which concentrates seismic energy into an intense, long‐period pulse, and fault‐parallel fling step ...

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 2, March/April 2026.ABSTRACT This study presents new evidence for the early use of lime mortar during the Early Iron Age at the Piscina Torta site (Ostia, Italy), situated on the earliest Holocene beach ridges in the southern Tiber delta. The site, which was earlier described as a briquetage site, dates from between the late 8th and 6th century BCE and consists of a large

Sustainable Development, Volume 34, Issue S2, Page 280-295, March 2026.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.
