Modern masonry structures and earthquakes : reinforced or unreinforced? [PDF]
, 2013 The evolution of structural masonry is briefly reviewed, from old thrust line behavior to modern global behavior using shear walls. For modern structural masonry, the use of unreinforced, confined and reinforced masonry is addressed in seismic areas.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The previous seismic events indicated the vulnerability of old reinforced concrete (RC) structures against earthquakes due to the absence of seismic detailing and capacity design specifications in such buildings. In this context, beam‐column joints (BCJ) of the existing RC structures built before the 1970s have exhibited poor structural ...

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 ...

The 1985 Chile earthquake: Structural characteristics and damage statistics for the building inventory in Vina del Mar [PDF]
, 1987 The Chile earthquake of 3 March 1985 resulted in an effective peak acceleration of 0.36g in the coastal city of Vina del Mar. The city had an inventory of over 400 reinforced concrete buildings ranging in height from 5 to 23 stories.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Textile reinforced mortar (TRM) systems have emerged as an effective alternative to conventional FRP strengthening solutions due to their compatibility with concrete substrates and favorable performance under adverse environmental conditions.

A nonlinear macroelement formulation for the seismic analysis of masonry buildings [PDF]
, 2017 A macroelement is presented for the nonlinear dynamic analysis of masonry structures under seismic actions. The macroelement, developed in the framework of the equivalent frame model, has a force-based formulation and accounts for flexural and shear ...

REPAIR AND RECONSTRUCTION FOR URBAN COMMONING: The Making of the Liberated Spaces in Naples
International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract Commoning requires repair. Where capitalist logics of accumulation, enclosure and exclusion produce abandoned space through the city, urban commoners remake that space to serve the needs of inhabitants. Without hiding the paradoxes and risks of repair, based on years‐long ethnography in the Liberated Spaces in Naples, Italy, we demonstrate how
