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 ...

Shear strengthening of masonry panels with GFRP: preliminary experimental results [PDF]
, 2000 This paper describes an experimental investigation of masonry strengthened withGFRP. Square masonry walls of clay or concrete bricks were built, and strengthenedusing sheet GFRP (applied by the wet lay-up method).

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 ...

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018 Masonry is often used in the most of reinforced concrete structure constructions as a filling material that is important on structural characteristics. Structural contribution in the calculations was neglected or misunderstood, mainly due to the lack of ...

Out-of-plane seismic response of stone masonry walls: experimental and analytical study of real piers [PDF]
, 2012 This paper presents the application of an existing simplified displacement-based procedure to the characterization of the nonlinear force-displacement relationship for the out-of-plane behaviour of unreinforced traditional masonry walls.

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study evaluates the seismic performance of elevated reinforced concrete (RC) water tanks in the Elbistan region following the February 6, 2023 Kahramanmaras–Elbistan earthquakes. Field investigations, visual damage surveys, non‐destructive testing (ultrasonic pulse velocity—UPV), concrete compressive strength measurements, peak ground ...

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
