Details of an experimental program investigating the structural performance of unreinforced
masonry (URM) walls strengthened using two different types of polymer textile reinforced …

This study was to investigate the effect of coconut coir on the strength and durability
properties of cement-lime surface plaster mortar. The purpose of adding coconut coir into the …

Modeling unreinforced masonry walls, subjected to seismic loads applied normal to their
plane, has received much attention in the past. Yet, there is a general lack of conformance …

Masonry walls are susceptible to out-of-plane failures during seismic events. Therefore, this
study investigated the out-of-plane flexural behavior of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) …

The cumbersome nature of unreinforced masonry structures and the minimal tensile strength
of the constituent materials make the masonry structure very brittle. As a result, unreinforced …

Fast-paced urbanization and population growth have increased the daily use of plastic.
Although plastic is used for different purposes, a sharp rise in the utilization of bottled water …

Abstract The use of Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) shotcrete and near surface
mounted steel reinforcing bars as a seismic strengthening intervention for unreinforced …

Performance of fibre reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) strengthened non-ductile
reinforced concrete frames with hollow concrete masonry infill (RCFMI) subjected to cyclic in …

The quasi-static in-plane cyclic response of two single-leaf calcium silicate unreinforced
masonry piers was investigated to show the effectiveness of an innovative timber retrofit …

Despite being the most popular habitat option for the population, the lackluster performance
of masonry structures in case of seismic events has been a major concern for civil …
