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.

Application of Brittle Materials to Strengthen Masonry [PDF]
, 2008 Fibre Reinforced Polymer Strengthening (FRP) has become a popular method for retrofitting masonry structures. It is easily applied by attaching bonding either dry fibre mats or pre-formed plates to an existing structure.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Accurate estimation of the damping ratio is critical for evaluating floor response spectra and equipment seismic demands in nuclear power plant structures. This study investigates the elastic damping ratio of reinforced concrete walls under limited damage states through shaking table tests and data‐driven modeling.

Simplified analysis of concentrically loaded reinforced concrete columns
Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Reinforced concrete columns subjected to concentric and eccentric compression loads are typically treated in an identical manner, taking into account both the imperfect shape, creep, and the second order effects, as described for example in fib Model Code 2020 and Eurocode 2.
