Accidental eccentricity is aimed to account for any unforeseen factor that may attribute to the torsional response. These sources can be broadly classified into two components, namely, uncertainty in geometry and material ...

Even though the rotational ground motion may contribute significantly to the response of certain structures, their effects are generally ignored in seismic design, because of non-availability of appropriate instruments for ...

Good seismic performance of modern confined masonry construction practiced in many countries relies on two key features, namely confinement and bond between masonry walls and reinforced concrete confining elements that ...

Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation is a biomineralization process that has various applications in remediation and restoration of range of building materials. In the present study, calcifying bacteria, ...
