In comparison to natural aggregate concrete (NAC), recycled aggregate concrete (RAC)
typically exhibits a more diverse composition of materials, heightened variability and greater …

This paper is part of a study on earthen mixtures for the 3D printing of buildings. To meet the
ever increasing environmental needs, the focus of the paper is on a particular type of …

This study provides a contribution to the research field of 3D-printed earthen buildings,
focusing, for the first time, on the load-bearing capacity of these structures. The study …

In this paper, an advanced version of the classic GDQ method, called the Generalized
Differential Quadrature Finite Element Method (GDQFEM) is formulated to solve plate elastic …

The present paper deals with the retrofitting of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings,
subjected to in-plane shear and out of-plane loading when struck by an earthquake. After an …

Geopolymer Concrete (GPC) as an alternative to Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) is a
cement-less and green construction material which is produced by mixing industrial by …

The aim of this work is to study the static behavior of 2D soft core plane state structures.
Deflections and inter-laminar stresses caused by forces can have serious consequences for …

Soil mechanical fully understanding requires considering a three dimensional approach,
including soil response under the second principal stress and its potential anisotropy. In …

In this paper, uniaxial compression tests and numerical simulation were conducted on
specimens of five sizes, and the influence of specimen size on the failure characteristics and …

In several recent papers studying the Cell Method (CM), which is a numerical method based
on a truly algebraic formulation, it has been shown that numerical modeling in physics can …
