Modelling historical masonry aggregates using the Equivalent Frame approach

Katrin Beyer, Francesco Vanin, Igor Tomic

Many historical centres in Europe, including the city centre of Zagreb, feature masonry building aggregates, which developed as the building layout of the city was densified. Adjacent buildings in aggregates often share a structural wall and the building t ...

Blind predictions of shake table testing of aggregate masonry buildings

Katrin Beyer, Igor Tomic, Andrea Penna

In many historical centers in Europe, stone masonry is part of building aggregates, which developed when the layout of the city or village was densified. The analysis of such building aggregates is very challenging and modelling guidelines missing. Advance ...

RC U-shaped walls subjected to in-plane, diagonal, and torsional loading: New experimental findings

Katrin Beyer, Ryan Hoult

Although reinforced concrete U-shaped walls are popular in construction practice internationally, there is a paucity of experimental research investigating the seismic performance of such salient elements. The present paper summarizes an experimental campa ...

Multi-scale investigation on mechanical behavior and microstructural alteration of C-S-H in carbonated Alite paste

Karen Scrivener

Carbonation treatment is a promising option to enhance recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) quality and eventually improve concrete performance. This study investigated the multi-scale mechanical properties of calcium silicate hydrates (C-S-H) in a mature ali ...

Catalytic Enantioselective Synthesis of Morpholinones Enabled by Aza-Benzilic Ester Rearrangement

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Hua Wu, Yuping He

Chiral morpholinone is an important building block in organic synthesis and a pharmacophore in medicinal chemistry. However, catalytic enantioselective methods for the construction of this N,O-heterocycle remain scarce. We report herein a chiral phosphoric ...

Shake table testing of aggregate masonry buildings

Katrin Beyer, Igor Tomic, Andrea Penna

Masonry building aggregates can be found throughout historical city centers of Europe. Adjacent buildings have often developed during the long densification process, without consistent planning or engineering. It is common for neighboring units to share a ...

The ratio of shear to elastic modulus of in-plane loaded masonry

Katrin Beyer, Bastian Valentin Wilding, Michele Godio

When designing unreinforced masonry buildings, the wall stiffness and, consequently, the masonry elastic and shear modulus E and G are essential parameters. Current codes provide empirical estimates of the masonry elastic modulus and a ratio between the sh ...

Seismic performance of slender RC U-shaped walls with a single-layer of reinforcement

Katrin Beyer, João Saraiva Esteves Pacheco de Almeida, Ryan Hoult

Reinforced concrete walls are commonly used to resist the lateral loading induced by wind and earthquake actions. While most walls include two vertical reinforcement layers, some regions of the world construct slender, non-rectangular concrete walls with a ...
