The behaviour of squat shape partially grouted concrete masonry shear walls with fixed-end boundary conditions subjected to constant average axial stress and cyclic lateral loading was investigated. Two replicas were tested each combination horizontal reinforcement ratio (0.12%, 0.06%, 0.03%) four end anchorage (straight, 90°, 180°, studs). the compared in terms strength, ductility, stiffness, ...

This study presents an innovative technique of executing soil nails called sectorized post grouting (SPG). The most utilized nail is gravity grouting, with the literature reporting advances in pressurized grouting. Although obtaining higher pullout resistance nails, mostly done single-stage does not compensate for exudation and its use lengths difficult. Thus, a has been developed that compensa...

Grouted sleeve connections have been widely used in precast construction for joining rebar. In order to study their post-fire seismic performance, grouted connections, which are heated first elevated temperature and then cooled down room temperature, tested under both monotonic cyclic loadings. For comparisons, the same tests also carried out on continuous The failure modes, skeleton curves com...

In this paper effect of pile-soil consideration in obtaining seismic response offshore structure is assessed due to earthquake loading. InducedSeismic force is one of the most important excitations for the dynamic response of an offshore structure. According to API, Seismic forces should be accounted in platform design for seismically active regions in order to determine the allowable seismic r...
