A novel CFS composite wall filled with cement-based lightweight polymer material (CFS-CLPM wall) has been proposed and proven to have excellent architectural mechanical performance. To promote its application in prefabricated concrete (PC) frame structures, two full-scale specimens were designed tested under cyclic loading investigate the failure mode, hysteretic response energy dissipation of ...

In order to expand the applications of cold-formed thin-walled steel structures, this study proposes a new type composite wallboard composed C-shaped and multi-layer concrete, in which serves as skeleton, foam concrete acts thermal insulation material, fine aggregate cement mortar play part envelopes. The can be made factory assembly line, meeting requirements building (civil structural) indust...

The aim of this study is to compare the seismic performances strengthening techniques applied reinforced concrete (RC) non-ductile frames tested under effects loads. In experimental part study, one-third scale, one-bay, two-storey hollow brick infilled RC were strengthened with five different and reversed cyclic lateral One being reference, bricks plastered on both sides, one was plain mortar, ...

Open Ground Storey buildings (OGS) are commonly constructed in the UAE, since these has some functional advantage as parking, shop etc. However, they can be a hazard during an earthquake. In this study, real building located Al Muraqqabatm Dubai is chosen. This type of OGS coupled with shearwall. To understand behaviour and strength non-linear Static Analysis (Pushover Analysis) carried out to ...

We demonstrate a facile method for fabricating novel 3D microfluidic channels by using two-photon-activated chemistry to locally switch the interior surface of a porous host from a hydrophobic state to a hydrophilic state. The 3D structures can be infilled selectively with water and/or hydrophobic oil with a minimum feature size of only a few micrometers. We envision that this approach may enab...

Introduction: Isidis Planitia, a Noachian impact crater infilled with Hesperian aged basalts, is located on Mars on the crustal dichotomy and is antipodal to the Tharsis rise [1]. Measuring 1400 km across and 2 km deep, it is comparable in scale and age to lunar mascons. The basin contains an interesting pattern of both radial and concentric wrinkle ridges (see Figure 1), and massive graben are...

Abstract This paper presents the fragility assessment of non-seismically designed steel moment frames with masonry infills. The considered effects multiple earthquakes on damage accumulation frames, which is an essential part modern performance-based earthquake engineering. Effects aftershocks are particularly important when examining damaged buildings and making post-quake decisions, such as t...

This paper presents the development of an experimental campaign to investigate cyclic, out-of-plane response reinforced concrete frames containing masonry infill walls, using non-contact optical techniques measure contour strains and deformations. Bare RC frames, as well fully infilled both with without window door openings, were tested in laboratory. From analysis results, it was found that ne...
