Interlocking dry stacked masonry is an emerging building material and has a project wining
future due to its sustainable and affordable housing aspects. The aim of this research work is …

Geopolymer concrete is preferred over OPC due to its use of energy waste such as fly ash,
making it more sustainable and energy-efficient. However, limited research has been done …

Based on the increasing demand of the self-interlocking stabilized earth blocks in masonry
industry and history of the earthquake losses, research study on strengthening and …

As seen during numerous earthquakes, confined masonry exhibited a reliable anti-seismic
response due to a number of factors. To understand the effect of these factors, a case study …

In order to ensure safety of confined brick masonry structures, researchers have
recommended the use of reinforced-concrete (RC) stiffeners. Most of the time, the seismic …

In the last two decades, the use of modal parameters to detect and localize structural
damage has gained increasing interest in the scientific community. The work reported in the …

A detailed comparative study was carried out to investigate the impact of unsymmetric
openings on the torsional resistance of confined masonry rooms constructed in highly …

As a material masonry is anisotropic in nature as it is constituted of various components that
differ each other in many ways. Though, the ideas of modeling of concrete are also valid for …

Modern structural design requires consideration of sustainability parts from a life cycle
perception, but also the initial design phase in which seismic actions have a substantial …

This research investigates the nonlinear behavior of scaled infilled masonry (IFM), confined
masonry (CM), and reinforced concrete (RC) structures by utilizing and validating two tests …
