Reinforced composite masonry shear walls
, 2018 The results of testing six brick-to-block reinforced composite masonry panels subjected to gravity and in-plane shear loads are dis cussed herein. Each wall contained two wythes with a nominal 2-inch collar joint. In the first 5 walls, this joint was grouted and rein forced with either welded wire fabric or vertical and horizontal bars.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract In practice, reinforced concrete (RC) wall‐like columns often have openings to facilitate building services, which creates stress concentrations around the opening, resulting in the weakening of their load‐carrying capacity. This study proposes innovative strengthening methods using near‐surface mounted (NSM) incorporating steel materials to ...

Development of Quakeproof Reinforcement Methods for Masonry Walls
Quarterly Report of RTRI, 2006 Railway lines in Japan are sometimes fl anked by earthretaining structures consisting of piled-up stones, known as masonry walls (see Fig. 1). Although railway operators are aware that these walls can collapse and damage trains in the event of an earthquake, the behavior of such structures when subjected to seismic motion has not yet been clarifi ed ...

A Splitting Architecture for Exact Reduced Coulomb Friction
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Existing approaches to frictional contact dynamics typically either modify the Coulomb law to improve numerical robustness or solve the exact law in a fully coupled monolithic form. However, in its reduced form, exact Coulomb friction can be written as a cone complementarity problem with an augmented velocity, which reveals a natural split ...
