Masonry: Building Pathologies and Design

Delgado, João M. P. Q.

Application of Blast Resistant Design Model for Safer Cities -- Design of Facade for Blast Resistant Buildings -- Application of Geometric Patterns in Architectural Design Process -- A Novel Seismic Outer Coating for Rehabilitation of Existing Masonry Buildings -- Numerical Analysis of Bottle-Shaped Isolated Struts Concrete Deteriorated by Delayed Ettringite Formation -- Concrete Samples Extracted from Pile Caps and Affected by Internal Swelling Reactions: A Diagnostic Analysis -- Diagnosis and Assessment of Deep Pile Cap Foundation of a Tall Building Affected by Internal Expansion Reactions -- Waterproof Roofing System Pathology Phenomenology Analysis as a Background Support for Diagnosis and Design.

This book presents a collection of recent research works related to blast resistant design, building pathologies, seismic coating, bottle-shaped concrete struts, delayed ettringite formation and waterproofing. It features eight chapters on building pathologies as well as a detailed set of references and suggestions for further reading. Offering a systematic review of the current state of knowledge, it is a valuable resource for scientists, students, practitioners, and lecturers in various scientific and engineering disciplines, including civil and materials engineering, as well as and other interested parties. .
