Numerical modelling of in-plane behaviour of adobe walls [PDF]

, 2010
Some tests for material characterization of adobe blocks and adobe masonry have been carried out in universities and laboratories around the world. However, the number of tests is quite limited in comparison with those carried out with other structural ...

Research on the Laws of Destructive Patterns and Control Measures of Overlying Rock in High‐Efficiency Large‐Scale Mining Faces

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
With the advancement of coal mining technology driving the development of working faces toward increased mining heights and extended lengths, the enlargement of face dimensions has led to expanded overlying strata failure zones and intensified ground pressure manifestations. Consequently, traditional methods for determining hydraulic support resistance

Seismic risk reduction through retrofitting of school masonry buildings from Romania

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2023
Retrofitting the existing building stock is needed since it can cause significant losses as in case of a damaging earthquake, particularly in structures used for public services, such as schools.

Dynamic investigation on the Mirandola bell tower in post-earthquake scenarios [PDF]

, 2016
After the seismic events of the 20th and 29th of May 2012 in Emilia (Italy), most of the monumental and historic buildings of the area were severely damaged. In a few structures, partial collapse mechanisms were observed (e.g.

Study on Damage Characteristics and Evolution Law of Macro‐Meso Structure of Surrounding Rock Under Mining Stress

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.
Investigating the differential impact of mining stress on roadways, we find that in horizontally stressed environments, the inner surrounding rock exhibits more pronounced macro‐meso damage compared to the outer side. ABSTRACT The control of surrounding rocks in dynamic pressure roadways has consistently been one of the challenging predicaments in the ...

Masonry Wall Performance Estimation Under Blast Loading: A Study Using Finite Element Analysis

Mekanika
This paper studies the dynamic response of masonry wall structures under blast loading. It requires a detailed understanding of the explosion phenomenon, wave propagation, and the structure's response to these shocks.

Dynamic one-sided out-of-plane behavior of unreinforced-masonry wall restrained by elasto-plastic tie-rods [PDF]

, 2019
Past earthquakes have shown the high vulnerability of existing masonry buildings, particularly to out-of-plane local collapse mechanisms. Such mechanisms can be prevented if façades are restrained by tie rods improving the connections to perpendiculars ...
