Low-Cost and Low-Tech Reinforcement Systems for Improved Earthquake Resistance of Mud Brick Buildings
Traditional, unreinforced adobe mud brick structures are highly susceptible to damage and destruction during seismic events. This vulnerability is evident in historic adobe structures around the world, as well as in traditional adobe homes in developing countries where severe earthquakes repeatedly cause drastic losses of life and livelihood. Adobe research at the University of Technology, Sydn...
متن کاملInorganic nanotubes reinforced polyvinylidene fluoride composites as low-cost electromagnetic interference shielding materials
Novel polymer nanocomposites comprising of MnO2 nanotubes (MNTs), functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (f-MWCNTs), and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) were synthesized. Homogeneous distribution of f-MWCNTs and MNTs in PVDF matrix were confirmed by field emission scanning electron microscopy. Electrical conductivity measurements were performed on these polymer composites using four probe t...
متن کاملElectrochemical Characterization of Low-Cost Lithium-Iron Orthosilicate Samples as Cathode Materials of Lithium-Ion Battery
Lithium-iron-orthosilicate is one of the most promising cathode materials for Li-ion batteries due to its safety, environmental brightness and potentially low cost. In order to produce a low cost cathode material, Li2FeSiO4/C samples are synthesized via sol-gel (SG; one sample) and solid state (SS; two samples with different carbon content), starting from Fe (III) in the raw materials (lo...
متن کاملPreventing Pancake Collapses: Lessons from Earthquake-Resistant Traditional Construction for Modern Buildings of Reinforced Concrete
It seems counter-intuitive to assert that simple, unsophisticated, non-engineered, timber and masonry structures might be safer in large earthquakes than new structures of reinforced concrete, but such has proven to be the case in a number of recent earthquakes, including the Izmit and Düzce earthquakes in Turkey of 1999, the Bhuj earthquake in India of 2001, and the Kashmir earthquake in Pakis...
متن کاملMechanical Characteristics of Low-cost Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Polymer
This report deals with the experimental investigation of using large deformable FRP, ± 45° oriented fibers, in concrete-filled fiber tubes (CFFT) under axial cyclic compressive loading. In addition, this report presents finite element modeling (FE) of CFFTs with large rupture strain FRP (LRS-FRP). The LRS-FRP is made with polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber...
