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

The Behavior of Masonry Walls with Reinforced Plaster Mortar

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2013
The purpose of this study is the improvement of the behaviors of walls constructed with masonry bricks using reinforced plaster mortars. In this study, 400×400×100 mm sized walls were constructed using 1 : 2 scaled 100×50×30 mm sized masonry bricks.

Exploring the Metric Systems of Medieval New Towns in Central Europe: Reconstruction of Urban Plot Scheme Using Cosine Quantogram and Modular Analysis

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines plot divisions and units of measurement in regular medieval new towns in Central Europe, with a particular focus on historical Silesia. By applying the cosine quantogram method alongside GIS‐referenced cartographic sources and modular analysis, the research reconstructs the spatial organization of urban layouts. The results

Experimental study of brick masonry walls sobjected to eccentric and axial load [PDF]

, 2016
Masonry buildings represent a huge building stock. The need for preservation of masonry structures may be due to various reasons: economic, heritage, etc. These buildings are often subjected to diagnosis processes that involve structural assessment which
