Seismic Vulnerability Assessment and Retrofitting Strategies for Masonry Infilled Frame Building


Free Download Seismic Vulnerability Assessment and Retrofitting Strategies for Masonry Infilled Frame Building by Andre Filipe Furtado
English | EPUB (True) | 2023 | 365 Pages | ISBN : 3031203712 | 187.8 MB
This book reports on a comprehensive experimental characterization of the material, mechanical and dynamic properties of masonry infill walls. It analyses the critical parameters affecting their out-of-plane seismic behavior, including the effects of the panel support conditions, gravity load, and previous damage. Further, it offers an extensive review of infill masonry strengthening strategies and reports on the experimental assessment of various textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) strengthening solutions. It also presents the development, implementation and calibration of a numerical model to simulate the infill panels’ seismic behavior, with the corresponding findings of various tests to assess the seismic vulnerability of an infilled RC structure. All in all, this outstanding PhD thesis offers a comprehensive review of masonry infill walls, and a timely overview of numerical and experimental methods for testing and preventing the out-of-plane seismic collapse of RC buildings.

Life Cycle Assessment & Circular Economy


Free Download Life Cycle Assessment & Circular Economy by Subramanian Senthilkannan Muthu
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 135 Pages | ISBN : 3031339819 | 23.2 MB
This contributed volume offers several cases in life cycle assessment (LCA) and implementation of circular economy principles across different industries. LCA is a tool which is utilized to measure the environmental footprints of various products from inception through disposal. Circular economy, a related concept, presents a meaningful alternative to a traditional linear economy as it seeks possible ways to reduce waste, recover resources at the end of a product’s life, and channel them back into production, thus significantly reducing environmental impacts. LCA and CE complement each other, as the former can be used to meaningfully assess possibilities for the latter. The combination of the principles of CE and LCA enable product developers to quantify the environmental performance of various products, processes and supply chain configurations in order to make progress toward sustainability.
