Jafari, S. (author), Esposito, R. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)To accurately assess the performance of existing unreinforced masonry (URM) structures, the mechanical characteristics of masonry under compressive loading are required. The compression properties of existing URM can be evaluated through different methods, either performing destructive tests (DTs) or slightly destructive tests (SDTs). DTs can be...conference paper 2018

Messali, F. (author), Pari, M. (author), Esposito, R. (author), Rots, J.G. (author), den Hertog, D (author)In recent years induced seismicity in the north of the Netherlands has considerably increased. The built environment in the region mainly consists of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. Those buildings were not designed for seismic loads and have specific characteristics, that limit their seismic performance. In early 2017 a quasi-static...conference paper 2018

Skroumpelou, Georgia (author), Messali, F. (author), Esposito, R. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)The assessment of the seismic response of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings has been a popular topic all over the world in the last decades. In recent years, induced seismicity in the north of the Netherlands increased considerably and introduced seismic risk also in this country. The built environment in the region is mainly composed by...conference paper 2018

Esposito, R. (author), Jafari, S. (author), Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), Schipper, H.R. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)In recent years induced seismicity in the Netherlands considerably increased. This phenomenon has a wide impact on the built environment, which is mainly composed by unreinforced masonry (URM) structures. These buildings were not designed for seismic loading, and present peculiar characteristics include very slender walls (100 mm thickness and 2...conference paper 2018

Messali, F. (author), Esposito, R. (author), Jafari, S. (author), Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), Korswagen, Paul A. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)In recent years, induced seismicity in the north of the Netherlands significantly increased. As a consequence, the seismic assessment of the built environment, which mainly consists of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures not designed for seismic loads, became of high relevance. Within this context, an extensive multiscale testing program has...conference paper 2018

Esposito, R. (author), Hendriks, M.A.N. (author)The assessment of concrete structures affected by alkali–silica reaction (ASR) is a complex problem due to the multiscale nature of this long-term phenomenon. The reaction starts within the concrete constituents and developed at aggregate level by inducing swelling and deterioration of concrete material, which eventually affect the capacity of...journal article 2017

Jafari, S. (author), Esposito, R. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)Starting point in this research is to find a quick and non-destructive method to characterize the mechanical properties of existing masonry. Tests on cylindrical cores have been recently introduced as a novel in-situ testing method to identify the properties of existing clay brick masonry. Currently, some researchers reported promising results,...conference paper 2017

(author), Messali, F. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)During the last years, induced seismicity in the northern part of the Netherlands increased and the seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures became an important issue. As the problem is recent, the current building stock is not designed to withstand earthquakes and national guidelines are under development, but currently not...conference paper 2017

(author), Klein Breteler, Mark (author), Kaste, Dorothea (author)Overtopping wave loads on vertical structures on top of a dike have been investigated in several small scale experiments in the past. A large-scale validation for a mild foreshore situation is still missing. Hence the WALOWA experimental campaign was carried out to address this topic. In the present paper the objectives of the WALOWA project are...conference paper 2017
