Seismic Vulnerability Assessment and Retrofitting Strategies for Masonry Infilled Frame Building


Free Download Seismic Vulnerability Assessment and Retrofitting Strategies for Masonry Infilled Frame Building by Andre Filipe Furtado
English | EPUB (True) | 2023 | 365 Pages | ISBN : 3031203712 | 187.8 MB
This book reports on a comprehensive experimental characterization of the material, mechanical and dynamic properties of masonry infill walls. It analyses the critical parameters affecting their out-of-plane seismic behavior, including the effects of the panel support conditions, gravity load, and previous damage. Further, it offers an extensive review of infill masonry strengthening strategies and reports on the experimental assessment of various textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) strengthening solutions. It also presents the development, implementation and calibration of a numerical model to simulate the infill panels’ seismic behavior, with the corresponding findings of various tests to assess the seismic vulnerability of an infilled RC structure. All in all, this outstanding PhD thesis offers a comprehensive review of masonry infill walls, and a timely overview of numerical and experimental methods for testing and preventing the out-of-plane seismic collapse of RC buildings.

Vulnerability and the Corporate Immune System


Free Download Vulnerability and the Corporate Immune System: An Integrated and Systemic Approach to Risk Management
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031302532 | 323 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 9 MB
Companies are exposed to a large number of risks from different sources such as globalization, deregulation, environmental changes, technological changes, complicated financial models, and corporate governance changes. Parallel to this, various studies recognize enterprise risk management (ERM) as a new method of organizational control. With the spread of ERM frameworks, this book links the themes of risk to decision-making and strategic processes, moving from the issue of vulnerability in order to increase awareness that risk management cannot be entrusted to fulfillment. Instead, risk management must increasingly be an integral part of the company’s decision-making and strategic processes.
