The use of industrial waste and/or by-products as alternative sources of raw materials in
building materials has become standard practice. The result, more sustainable construction …

In this study, modified polyvinyl alcohol fiber (MPVA) filled polyurethane (MPVA/PU) grouting
materials with high interfacial bonding strength were prepared. Firstly, the high-strength/high …

Clay brick masonry constructions are preferred in most of the undeveloped countries for low
rise buildings. Also in our country clay brick masonry has been used in many historical …

Abstract In Ecuador, 95.9% of housing is built with the use of masonry. Current construction
practice in Ecuador shows that masonry is mainly used as enclosing or partition elements …

The performance of unreinforced Masonry (URM) and strengthened masonry panels built
with horizontal hollow clay bricks is assessed in this article. The strengthening method …

The aim of the current experimental study was to investigate the in-plane behavior of
unreinforced masonry (URM) walls with an opening retrofitted using steel fiber reinforced …

Bone defects in the load‐bearing area require bone reconstruction using strong biomaterial
with mechanical properties like cortical bone. Herein, the high‐strength/high‐modulus …

The minarets, which have a tall and slender structure, are quite vulnerable to dynamic
forces, ie earthquakes and winds. In mainly concrete minarets, since the bond between the …

The effects of plaster mortar on the behaviour of 1/3 scaled, one storey, one bay masonry-
infilled steel frames under horizontal in-plane static loading are experimentally investigated …

Unreinforced masonry panels are the most important supporting elements in many
structures, but these building elements are very vulnerable to earthquakes, and serious …
