Abstract: To fully exploit the structural potential of prestressed masonry in flexure, it is essential to know its postcracking behavior. For this, a nonlinear finite element model has been developed to predict the complete response ...

Abstract: Use of high performance concrete (HPC) with locally available supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) has been increasing the world over. The difficulties associated with different indigenous cementitious materials ...

Abstract: Full-scale single-room masonry buildings of different typology, i.e., unreinforced (URM), reinforced (RM) and Confined Masonry (CM) were tested under cyclic loading in quasi-static manner to study the seismic performance. ...

Abstract: Prestressed masonry as a structural material is still underexploited for the simple reason that basic behavior and complete response up to failure is not well understood. Therefore, to evolve a rational basis for design ...

Abstract: The present study aims at the probabilistic seismic risk assessment of a base-isolated building frame under near- and far-field earthquakes by conducting a fragility analysis. For this purpose, a base-isolated 10-story ...
