Overview of the Pathology, Repair and Strengthening of Adobe Structures
(2013)
Adobe construction is considered to be an important feature of the international architectural heritage. To achieve the effective preservation of culturally significant adobe structures, the factors that cause their ...
Laboratory testing and finite element simulation of the structural response of an adobe masonry building under horizontal loading
(2014)
•A 1:2 scaled adobe masonry building is tested in laboratory under horizontal loading.•Cracking initiation/propagation and force–displacement response are monitored.•Damage limit states at different levels of deformation ...
Adobe bricks under compression: Experimental investigation and derivation of stress–strain equation
(2014)
This study investigates the response of adobe bricks to compressive loading. It records the state-of-the-art in adobe characterization and it provides extensive experimental data on samples of various sizes tested in ...
Influence of microencapsulated Phase Change Materials (PCMs) on the properties of polymer modified cementitious repair mortar
(2021-02-20)
Microencapsulated Phase Change Materials (PCMs) can be directly incorporated into mortars to enhance their thermal performance. In this study, the addition of a commercial microencapsulated PCM in a polymer modified cement ...
Seismic assessment of historic concrete structures: The case of Pedieos Post Office in Nicosia, Cyprus
(2022)
Monuments are buildings in which historical, archaeological and cultural values are displayed, yet their lack of seismic detailing and design renders them dangerous for public use and prone to collapse and permanent loss, ...
State of Conservation of Concrete Heritage Buildings: A European Screening
(MDPI, 2021)
Historic concrete buildings are at risk. Limited knowledge of concrete technology until the 1960s led to more sensitive buildings than modern concrete buildings. In addition, the lack of sensibility regarding their heritage ...
Engineered Cementitious Composites for the Conservation of 20th Century Concrete Architectural Heritage
(2022)
Architectural heritage nowadays includes concrete structures constructed in the 20th century. These buildings are usually under-detailed, since the actual behavior of reinforced concrete at the time of their construction ...
Environmental life cycle assessment of wire arc additively manufactured steel structural components
(Elsevier, 2023)
Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) enables the production of structural components with topologically optimised geometries thus leading to significant self-weight reductions for a given load-carrying capacity. A common ...
RILEM TC 277-LHS report: additives and admixtures for modern lime-based mortars
(E. & F.N. Spon, 2023)
The scope of this collective paper produced in the frame of RILEM TC 277-LHS is to provide sound knowledge on the use of additives/admixtures in lime-based mortars, based on literature and practice. The most widely known ...
Description of anisotropic material response of wire and arc additively manufactured thin-walled stainless steel elements
(Applied Science Publishers, 2022)
In contrast to conventionally-produced structural steel and stainless steel elements, wire and arc additively manufactured (WAAM) elements can exhibit a strongly anisotropic material response. To investigate this behaviour, ...
