Masonry is one of the oldest fundamental materials used in construction. Structures made by
masonry materials without reinforcement, however, routinely exhibit poor performance when …

In many seismically active regions of the world there are large numbers of masonry
buildings. Most of these buildings have not been designed for seismic loads. Recent …

The behavior of seven one-half scale masonry specimens before and after retrofitting using
fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is investigated. Four walls were built using one-half scale …

Masonry structures commonly exist in reality and still are popular all over the world. It has
been reported and studied that these buildings are vulnerable to strong external loadings …

Many of existing unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings are seismically vulnerable and
require retrofitting. This paper investigates in-plane seismic behaviour of URM walls before …

This paper presents results of static cyclic tests investigating the in-plane behaviour of URM
walls retrofitted using shotcrete. Three half-scale walls were built, using half-scale brick clay …

Background The goal of this study was to evaluate outcomes in children with relapsed,
molecularly characterized intracranial ependymoma treated with or without craniospinal …

Recent earthquakes have shown the vulnerability of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings,
which have led to an increasing demand for techniques to upgrade URM buildings. Fiber …

This paper presents research on a conventional but practical retrofitting method for masonry
walls along with the numerical modelling of it under in-plane lateral shear–compression …

To assess the strengthening ability of a strain hardening cementitious composite (SHCC), a
layer of SHCC was applied to masonry beams subjected to bending. When compared to the …
