This research investigates the nonlinear behavior of scaled infilled masonry (IFM), confined (CM), and reinforced concrete (RC) structures by utilizing validating two tests from literature as benchmarks. The validation was based on a comparison with pushover results small-scaled physical their numerical modeling. Numerical modeling small-scale (1:4 1:3) IFM, CM, RC models has been carried out F...

The Pierre Auger Observatory is planned to be upgraded so that the energy spectrum of cosmic rays can be studied down to 0.1 EeV and the muon component of showers can be determined. The former will lead to a spectrum measured by one technique from 0.1 EeV to beyond 100 EeV while the latter will aid identification of the primary particles. These enhancements consist of three high elevation teles...

[1] This study examines the temporal variability of ocean heat uptake in observations and in climate models. Previous work suggests that coupled Atmosphere-Ocean General Circulation Models (A-OGCMs) may have underestimated the observed natural variability of ocean heat content, particularly on decadal and longer timescales. To address this issue, we rely on observed estimates of heat content fr...

In this study, a practical seismic retrofit method for RC frames was proposed. For purpose, quasi-static loading applied to 8 different type of in finite elements analysis software, Abaqus and were pushed 45mm laterally. High strength fiber reinforced lightweight concrete panels used strengthen infill walls inside the frames. To apply them walls, epoxy binder polyurethane their behaviour compar...
