Buildings made of massive timber logs with a derogation from the application of technical conditions for traditional masonry technologies [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences
Timber log walls are a unique form of construction - erected from solid material, they are both a building structure and a thermal barrier. Walls of wooden logs have numerous advantages, especially favourable physical and mechanical properties, including

Seismic vulnerability assessment of free-standing massive masonry columns by the 3D Discrete Element Method

Engineering Structures, 2021
Abstract Free-standing masonry column is a recurrent typology of built cultural heritage. Usually raised without seismic design, columns are subject to intense rocking and overturning under strong ground motions. In this paper, a strategy to assess their seismic vulnerability using the 3-D Discrete Element Method is proposed.

Massive timber building vs. conventional masonry building. A comparative life cycle assessment of an Italian case study [PDF]

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2019
Abstract This work aims to investigate the environmental friendliness of building materials, and in particular the benefit of using biogenic products as replacement of conventional materials. The sustainability of wood as a construction material is a complex issue since the environmental impacts are strongly related to forest management,

Hygrothermal performance of a massive natural stone masonry wall insulated from the internal side with hemp concrete – field measurements in cold climate

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2021
Abstract Improving of exterior walls in historic and traditional buildings is often only possible with interior thermal insulation. The actual structure and material properties of the existing exterior wall are usually the main unknown factors.

Homogenous Finite Element Modelling and Seismic Analysis of A Massive Unreinforced Masonry Heritage Building and Its Proposed Rehabilitation

International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering (IJRTE), 2020
An Unreinforced Masonry Heritage school building situated at Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh has been investigated for possible seismic failures using SAP2000 Finite Element Software. The school building being a massive and complex structure has been modelled using homogenous modelling approach.

Specialized 3D Distinct element limit analysis approach for a fast seismic vulnerability evaluation of massive masonry structures: Application on traditional pagodas

Engineering Structures, 2023
A 3D limit analysis model specialized in the analysis at the collapse of massive masonry structures subjected to seismic loads is proposed. The approach belongs to the wide family of distinct element methods, because is based on a discretization of the structure by means of infinitely resistant hexahedron elements and quadrilateral interfaces where all

Experimental Determinations for the Massive Masonry Resistance of Patrimony Buildings Subjected to the Action of Environmental Factors and Mechanical Demands

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2018
The paper presents the results of the experimental determinations of the resistance of the massive masonry elements from a patrimony building in the Oltenia Region, the masonry under the action of the environmental factors and the strong seismic movements occurring during their lifetime.

Mechanism and application of competitive fracture propagation in layered group fracturing of massive thick overburden strata [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The massive thick overburden strata (MTOS) above the coal seam can result in high mining pressure in the stope, with significant manifestations of mine pressure, potentially triggering safety issues such as mine pressure bursts.
