Non-Linear Seismic Analysis of Masonry Buildings [PDF]

, 2010
Non-linear analysis is the most viable tool to get accurate predictions of the actual response of masonry structures under earthquake loading. Analytical methods based on the idealisation of masonry walls with openings as systems of macro-elements allow ...

Prospecting of Architectural Features Using LiDAR‐UAV Technology, Deep Neural Networks and Visualization Techniques: A Case Study in Kuélap and Cambolín (NW Peru)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High‐resolution and accurate synoptic images of terrestrial topography, even in densely forested areas, have proven valuable for archaeology by enabling the identification and characterization of relief patterns associated with ancient human activities. This study presents a novel approach that integrates digital terrain models (DTMs) obtained

Modelling, analysis and testing of masonry structures [PDF]

, 2005
In this thesis, masonry churches under horizontal actions are studied. Such structures feature strong seismic vulnerability, both because of the mechanical properties of the material and the particular configuration.

Experimental analysis of dynamic effects of FRP reinforced masonry vaults [PDF]

, 2015
An increasing interest in the preservation of historic structures has produced a need for new methods for reinforcing curved masonry structures, such as arches and vaults.

From Material Tensions to Organizational Paradoxes: How Manufacturers Cope With the Limits of Circular Product Design

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular product design (CPD) is central to advancing the circular economy by enabling the narrowing, slowing, and closing of resource flows. Yet, its implementation remains persistently challenging for firms. Prior research has largely framed these challenges as discrete barriers, overlooking the structural contradictions embedded in CPD ...

Optimization of structural brickwork laying joints in concrete blocks

Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2018
One of the challenges in the investigation of structural masonry is the correlation between the thickness of the laying joints and the global resistance of the masonry.

Fragility analysis of masonry structural units by Response Surface method [PDF]

, 2018
Structural masonry aggregates include a set of inhomogeneous structural units that can interact under seismic action; therefore the seismic analysis cannot ignore the inevitable interactions resulting from structural contiguity between adjacent ...

Seismic assessment and rehabilitation of a historical theatre based on a macro-element strategy [PDF]

, 2011
The structural and seismic assessment of the 19th-century Petruzzelli theater in Bari (Italy) is presented. The macro-elements strategy was adopted to dismantle the whole structure in parts.

Digital documentation of railway tunnel inspection in Austria

Civil Engineering Design, Volume 7, Issue 1, Page 3-8, March 2025.
Abstract Infrastructure, especially railway tunnels, require continuous inspection to ensure their safety. Furthermore, the detection of damages at an early stage can improve their service life. These tasks represent a major challenge for those involved and the tunnel down time is a disruption in operation.
