Abstract: This paper presents the results of experimental testing of adobe masonry assemblages to study their compressive and shear behaviors. These behaviors were studied using masonry prisms and triplets, respectively. Adobe mortar ...

Abstract: Steel plate girders are susceptible to web buckling due to slender web. This phenomenon creates an undesirable failure mode and limits their ultimate load capacity. The use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of experimental testing of adobe masonry assemblages to study their flexure and bond behaviors. The properties of soil and water absorption of adobe units also were investigated. The plasticity ...

Abstract: This paper presents the details of experimental testing of soil, adobe masonry units, and assemblages for the first time in Pakistan. Adobe units were tested both in compression and bending. The compressive strength of ...
