Old structures that are made of adobe or brick walls are usually unreinforced and not designed for lateral forces. In-plane loads applied to unreinforced masonry walls (URM) are the usual cause of damage and failure of old buildings. In this research, sm...

The use of prestressed precast hollow core slabs has intensified as technological advances. However, the knowledge of the structural behavior when openings are inserted into this element is still limited, mainly due to the shear force. Therefore, the pre...

In this paper, the negative Poisson?s ratio and rigidity of a protective structure are improved to allow the structure to exert a negative Poisson?s ratio effect in multiple directions and to enhance the structural load-carrying capacity. Therefore, a 3D...

The shear failure of a reinforced concrete member is a sudden diagonal tension failure; flexible failure is gradual, associated with significant cracks, and leads to extensive sagging. Therefore, reinforced shear rebars are commonly used to ensure that f...

Old masonry buildings, which are frequently part of the cities-built heritage, are vulnerable to seismic actions. Thus, it is important to conduct efficient seismic strengthening interventions that allow maintenance of the existing building to minimize t...

To properly restore masonry cultural heritage sites, the materials used for retrofitting can have a critical effect, and this requires standards for traditional Korean brick and lime mortar to be examined. This study experimentally investigated the mater...

Low-rise residential and public masonry structures constitute a large portion of the building patrimony, yet they were erected during the massive reconstruction of Southeast Europe after World War II before any design rules existed in the engineering pra...
