Capacity interaction in brick masonry under simultaneous in-plane and out-of-plane loads [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A considerable number of numerical and experimental studies, carried out to-date to investigate the behaviour of masonry walls under seismic loading, have considered the in-plane or the out-of-plane response of the wall separately without due ...

Cellular concrete: A viable low‐carbon alternative for developing countries in seismic regions?

open access: yesStructural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 3, Page 2741-2756, June 2025.
Abstract This study investigates the potential of cellular concrete as an environmentally friendly alternative for shear walls based structural systems in seismic‐prone areas. The construction industry significantly contributes to global energy consumption and carbon emissions, mainly through the use of conventional materials like concrete and steel ...

The mechanical and microstructural investigations of concrete incorporating waste textile and cardboard fibers following thermal and freeze–thaw cycles

open access: yesStructural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 3, Page 2757-2772, June 2025.
Abstract Recent research suggests that incorporating waste fiber materials into concrete can enhance sustainable waste management practices and reduce the need for extracting natural resources. Textile and cardboard waste, which are abundantly available worldwide, offer significant opportunities to be repurposed in building materials, simultaneously ...

Pre‐fabricated TRC Panels Versus TRM Jacketing for Integrating Seismic and Energy Retrofitting: Bi‐Directional Shaking Table Tests on Three Masonry‐Infilled RC Buildings

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 54, Issue 6, Page 1617-1641, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Two novel integrated seismic and energy retrofitting solutions for existing buildings are experimentally assessed in this study. Three 60%‐scaled, two‐storey infilled reinforced concrete buildings underwent a series of bi‐directional shaking table tests.

Damage assessment and seismic response of steel buildings during the Kahramanmaraş, Turkey earthquakes of February 6, 2023

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 41, Issue 2, Page 1565-1588, May 2025.
On February 6, 2023, two earthquakes (Mw 7.8 and 7.5) occurred in Turkey. Notably, 10 provinces in Turkey and several others in Syria were subjected to severe ground shaking, resulting in a high number of casualties following the total and partial collapse of many reinforced concrete buildings.
