Unreinforced concrete masonry for circular construction

Architectural Intelligence
AbstractThis paper proposes an effective approach to realise circular construction with concrete, and shows Unreinforced Masonry as a foundational building block for it.The paper outlines the importance of circularity in building structures. It specifically focuses on the impact of circular construction with concrete on improving the sustainability of ...

Use of Madhuca longifolia (Mahua) Bark‐Derived Fibers for Enhancing the Performance of Cement Mortar and Concrete

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
In response to the growing demand for environmentally friendly construction practices, sustainable alternatives to conventional cement, aggregates, and reinforcement fibers (both steel and synthetic) are receiving increased attention. These alternatives often originate from mineral and biological wastes.

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Reinforced Soil Slopes With Vertical Rib and Inclined Reinforcement: Application to Embankment Slopes

Advances in Civil Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Reinforced soil technology is widely applied in slope stabilization, yet the optimal configuration of reinforcement remains a key design challenge. This study presents a comprehensive investigation of vertical rib‐reinforced and inclined‐reinforced geogrid layouts through scaled physical model tests (1:10) and finite element simulations using MIDAS GTS.

First-order approximation towards empirical seismic vulnerability assessment of low-cost unreinforced masonry buildings in South Africa

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
The 5 August 2014 Orkney earthquake in South Africa caused significant damage to low-cost unreinforced masonry buildings. After the earthquake, post-earthquake surveys were conducted to assess damage and deduce the intensity experienced by these ...
