The Structural Use of Recycled Aggregate Concrete for Renovation of Massive External Walls of Czech Fortification

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
The use of recycled aggregate concrete is mainly negatively affected by its poorer mechanical and long-term properties. However, there are few structural applications for which recycled aggregates can be used.

Enhancing the Seismic Resilience of Masonry‐Infilled RC Structures Using Rubber Joints: Full‐Scale 3D Shaking Table Tests

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Masonry infills in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are highly vulnerable to seismic damage, often sustaining severe cracking even under moderate ground motion, which in turn leads to considerable economic losses and safety risks. To address this issue, this study experimentally evaluates the effectiveness of two innovative rubber‐based joints ...

Moisture-Related Risks in Internally Insulated Historic Field Stone Masonry Walls: A Long-Term Hygrothermal Assessment Under Past and Future Climate

open access: yesBuildings
Improving the energy efficiency of historic field stone masonry buildings often requires internal insulation, as external insulation is frequently restricted by heritage and architectural constraints. Internal insulation, however, alters the hygrothermal

TRM‐to‐concrete interface bond without anchors: Combined experimental, analytical, and numerical modeling approach

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Textile reinforced mortar (TRM) systems have emerged as an effective alternative to conventional FRP strengthening solutions due to their compatibility with concrete substrates and favorable performance under adverse environmental conditions.

Earth mortars use on neolithic domestic structures. Some case studies in Alentejo, Portugal

open access: yesConservar Património, 2008
Earth mortars were constructively used since Ancient Neolithic in Southwest Iberia pre-historic habitat settlements. According to archaeological information, these materials were applied on Neolithic Period to render ditches; latter, on Copper and Bronze
