Improved diamond coring bits developed for dry and chip-flush drilling [PDF]

open access: yes, 1971
Two rotary diamond bit designs, one operating with a chip-flushing fluid, the second including auger section to remove drilled chips, enhance usefulness of tool for exploratory and industrial core-drilling of hard, abrasive mineral deposits and ...

The medieval ‘scientia' of structures: the rules of Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Medieval builders didn't have a scientific structural theory, however gothic cathedrals were not build without a theory. Gothic masters had a ‘scientia', a body of knowledge which permitted the safe design of their buildings.

Extending a Macro-Element Approach for the Modeling of 3D Masonry Structures Under Transient Dynamic Loading

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Masonry structures, particularly those used in developing countries and in historic buildings, typically consist of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls connected by timber or reinforced concrete elements. This study proposes enhancements to the existing two-

Pushover analysis of a modern aggregate of masonry buildings through macro-element modelling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The masonry building aggregates are a typology of construction typical of historical town centres, where a complex structural system with longitudinal and transversal walls is arranged at different ground and roof levels.

Numerical analysis of mixe-mode fracture of brickwork masonry with embedded discontinuity elements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
One of the common pathologies of brickwork masonry structural elements and walls is the cracking associated with the differential settlements and/or excessive deflections of the slabs along the life of the structure. The scarce capacity of the masonry in

Collapse of masonry structures

open access: yes, 2013
This dissertation examines the collapse of masonry structures in response to large support displacements and horizontal ground accelerations. There are two main classes of masonry structure: arches that thrust, and supporting elements, such as walls and buttresses, which resist the thrust.
