The aim of this study is the conservation and restoration of the valley conical arch of ancient
structure-Alamparai fort, India. Restoration and conservation of the ancient buildings need a …

It is of considerable importance to perform dynamic identification and detect damage in
existing structures. This paper describes a new and practical method for damage diagnosis …

Firstly, some important aspects of the restoration and structural strengthening of historical
masonry buildings are briefly discussed. Particularly, as an illustration of the appropriate …

An experimental and analytical study is carried out to investigate the effects of lateral loading
type on the behavior of masonry infilled steel frames. During earthquake the lateral load is …

The impact of a damaging earthquake striking Eastern Canada's medium-to-high seismicity
cities would be catastrophic. This is largely due to the predominant presence in populous …

The seismic performance assessment of existing masonry buildings involves many
uncertainties, whose impact can be reduced to some extent by using non-destructive in-situ …

The material deterioration of an unreinforced stone masonry (URSM) building, due to
subsequent dynamic loadings of increasing intensity on a shaking table, is investigated by …

Vernacular Chettinad lime binder is widely popular in Southern India because of its quality
in terms of durability over centuries and the fine glossy finishes attainable. However, its …

Small-deflection theory is used along with FE models to compute the equivalent elasticity
parameters of sandwich structures. Eigenfrequency and eigenmode analyses, comparing …

Traditionally, most historic buildings represent pre-21th century masonry structures. It is due
to the extensive presence of such masonry structures that their behaviour under …
