Abstract: This experimental study was aimed to investigate the in-plane shear performance of externally strengthened masonry walls using two types of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets, namely, carbon FRP (CFRP) and polyethylene ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study on the shear load-displacement behavior of horizontal joints in unreinforced brick masonry subjected to constant compression. In general, under static shear loading masonry joints show a peak ...

Abstract: This experimental study was aimed to investigate the in-plane shear performance of externally strengthened masonry walls using two types of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets, namely, carbon FRP (CFRP) and polyethylene ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the applicability of quantile regression technique (QRT) as a viable regional flood frequency analysis (RFFA) method for the state of New South Wales in Australia. The study uses data from 96 small ...

Abstract: The unique features of the hybrid frame, which include minimum structural damage when subjected to earthquake loading and the recentering capability, are the result of using a combination of mild steel reinforcement and ...

Abstract: This paper presents a technique to quantify water savings due to implementation of water restrictions by adopting water restriction indexes as a continuous numerical predictor variable in regression analysis. The adopted ...
