Yığma yapılar, ülkemizdeki yapı stoğunun büyük bir yüzdesini oluşturan yapılar olup, ana taşıyıcı sistemin yalnızca duvarlardan oluştuğu, deformasyon kabiliyeti neredeyse hiç olmayan dolayısıyla enerji sönümleme kabiliyeti çok düşük, deprem esnasında ani gevrek kırılmalara müsai…
Disertační práce se soustředí na nalezení numerického přístupu pro výpočet zděných konstrukcí zatížených dostředným tlakem schopného predikovat výsledky experimentální zkoušky. K verifikaci zvoleného numerického přístupu byly využity výsledky z provedené experimentů. Disertační …
Situated in the NOHO district in New York, the surrounding neighborhoods have a profound history of theater performance that continues today. Inside my 1800 masonry and cast iron building site located at 440 Lafayette Street, I combine over the first three floors, a series of ar…
A thorough study of ancient bridge building in Greece and Coastal Asia Minor has not been undertaken hitherto. This thesis is a corpus of the ancient masonry bridges erected in this region from Prehistoric to Roman times. Relevant epigraphical and literary material amplifies and…
Drystone walls have been used extensively around the world as earth retaining structures wherever suitable stone is found. Commonly about 0.6m thick (irrespective of height), there are about 9000km of drystone retaining walls on the UK road network alone, mostly built in the 19t…
The Seismic Infill Wall Isolator Subframe (SIWIS) system is developed in this study for use in building frames with masonry infill walls in order to prevent damage to columns or infill walls and to minimize life-safety hazards during potentially damaging earthquakes. Because of …
The interaction in earthquakes of reinforced concrete frames with infill masonry walls has long been a subject of strong interest because of their abundance in regions of high seismic risk. A model was created to provide a simple method to analyze the behavior of reinforced conc…
The building and construction industry is the third-largest producer of CO2 in Canada. Additionally, emissions from this industry are expected to go up by more than nine megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (Mt CO2 eq) by the year 2030. As such, we need to find ways to reduce…
This thesis aims to understand the building materials and construction techniques utilized in the traditional houses of the villages in Karaburun Peninsula; Küçükbahçe and Kösedere in particular. With this aim, a preliminary study is carried out in 13 historical villages of the …
In the Antiquity, masters constructed dry masonry towers that were resistant to earthquake potential of their sites. Determination of the authentic characteristics, that play role on structural behavior, developed in antiquity should be the first step of conservation planning. T…
