Relationships between unreinforced masonry material properties
No full textUnreinforced masonry (URM) construction contributes to a high percentage of New Zealand’s building stock (Russell and Ingham 2010). Whilst the vulnerability of this type of construction when subjected to lateral loads is widely known, many of the existing URM buildings have not yet been seismically strengthened. A New Zealand guideline specifically addressing seismic assessment and improvement techniques for URM buildings is currently under revision, and the research conducted to develop a revised version of the URM material properties section of the guideline is presented here. Individual brick units, irregular mortar samples and masonry prisms were tested and the relationships between different material properties are discussed
Australia-New Zealand research into seismic retrofit of masonry structures using FRP strips - a progress report
No full textThis paper presents the progress to-date under the large collaborative research project between the Universities of Adelaide and Newcastle in Australia and the University of Auckland in New Zealand. The project seeks to develop new, cost-effective and architecturally unobtrusive retrofit techniques for unreinforced masonry buildings. The work on this project has consisted of research into the in-plane response of near-surface-mounted FRP strip reinforced walls (Univ of Newcastle), out-of-plane flexural response of NSM FRP reinforced walls (Univ of Adelaide) and field tests on NSM FRP retrofit walls in real buildings across New Zealand (Univ of Auckland) to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new technique and, importantly, to provide data from retrofit walls in real buildings to validate the analytical and numerical models being developed by researchers at all three universities. The lead organisation for each area has been listed above. However, additional tests across all the areas have also been conducted at each institution to provide cross-checks and validate the results from experiments at each university.M. C. Griffith, J. M.

Restoration of historic masonry structures damaged by the 2009 Abruzzo earthquake through injection grouts
No full textThis research is aimed at developing a methodology for the emergency stabilization and restoration of historic buildings damaged by the 2009 Abruzzo earthquake, through on-purpose modified injection grouts based on hydraulic binders. Several portions of multi-leaf stone masonry walls from buildings in the towns of Onna, Tempera and Sant’Eusanio Forconese, all located in the province of L’Aquila, were selected for carrying out injection tests with six grouts. Before and after injection, a comprehensive experimental program, including chemical and microstructural tests on original and repair materials and mechanical tests on the masonry walls, was performed. The present contribution describes the tests carried out at the various levels and discusses the main results obtained

Exporting Marsala Wine and Importing Accounting Practices: The Business Relationship between Benjamin Ingham and Vincenzo Florio
No full textThe role played by English merchants in Sicily in the nineteenth century. Benjamin Ingham was the most successful merchant and from him Vincenzo Florio has learned how to become a successful entrepreneur. In this chapter, Di Pietra highlights evidences of the business relationship between Ingham and Florio and the characteristics of the Ingham business accounting system and practices. Ingham could be considered as the merchant who has exported Marsala wine throughout the world and has imported in Sicily accounting practices from the British accounting environment
