Discoveries for a Community
… Architectural issues explored include the use of load bearing walls versus free standing columns for the primary structure of the individual buildings as a means of ordering space and a way to frame the context of the Caribbean. Architectural decisions involve how to make openings in the walls, …

On The Shear Strength Of Partially Grouted Concrete Masonry
Masonry shear walls are one of the most common structural elements in buildings. The in-plane shear capacity of load-bearing walls is of great importance in the seismic design of structures. This study focuses on the shear behaviour of wide-spaced reinforced partially grouted (WRPG) concrete …

The behaviour of modern flexible framed structures undergoing differential settlement
… consisting of flat RC slabs, RC columns and non-load bearing internal and external partitions and facades. These modern framed structures are more flexible than older conventional buildings with load bearing walls and are less susceptible to differential settlement damage. The use of conventional …

Blast Retrofit of Unreinforced Masonry Walls Using Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) Composites
Unreinforced masonry (URM) walls are commonly found in existing and heritage buildings in Canada, either as infill or load-bearing walls. Such walls are vulnerable to sudden and brittle failure under blast loads due to their insufficient out-of-plane strength. The failure of such walls under blast …

Increasing the Blast Resistance of Concrete Masonry Walls Using Fabric Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) Composites
Unreinforced masonry (URM) walls are often used as load-bearing or infill walls in buildings in many countries. Such walls are also commonly found in existing and heritage buildings in Canada. URM walls are strong structural elements when subjected to axial loading, but are very vulnerable under …
