Joints in masonry walls

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.

Banking Development and the Economic Impact of Natural Disasters: From Short to Long Term Effects

Journal of Regional Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates how financial development and local banking structures shape the economic resilience of communities in the aftermath of natural disasters. Focusing on Italian municipalities hit by earthquakes between 2008 and 2022, we explore the role of banking presence, particularly cooperative banks, in supporting recovery.
