The buckling of masonry wall depends on the deformation behaviour and can be described with the modulus of elasticity depending on masonry strength. The reduction factor solution considering buckling is described by the Gaussian bell‐shaped curve in Eurocode 6, Part 1‐1 Annex G and was calibrated for masonry with a modulus of elasticity between 700 and 1000 fk, which describes the masonry currently...
In einem abgekanteten Pyramidenstumpf der Basler Architekten Herzog & de Meuron am Südufer der Themse ist seit 2000 die Tate Modern, eines der wichtigsten Museen für zeitgenössische Kunst in Europa, beheimatet. Das perforierte Klinkerkleid des Baus verbindet nicht nur materialästhetisch die unterschiedlichen Baukörper miteinander, sondern verleiht der Gebäudehülle Plastizität

The structural verification of basement walls under earth pressure loading with low surcharge is often a difficult part of the everyday work of engineers. This situation is often encountered for basement walls under terrace doors, stair flights, masonry light wells etc., where the theoretically necessary surcharge loading is lacking. In this case, it is possible to transfer the acting forces from...
The eccentricity charts presented in this paper have been developed on the basis of experimental investigations in order to enable a realistic calculation method of the ultimate load of flat brickwork vaulted floors with standard structural software. The vault is modelled as a three‐hinged arch with eccentric hinges in order to thus represent the non‐linear behaviour of the load‐bearing structure...
Clay as a building material has a long tradition in Europe, largely losing its importance with industrialisation. Since the 1980s, clay building activity has steadily increased. Standard guidelines (Lehmbau‐Regeln) introduced in the 1990s, however, appear to be rather too cautious when examined in the light of current research findings on the load bearing capabilities of clay walls. Based on the evidence...
In June 2006, the Chair of Structural Design at the Technical University of Dresden was commissioned by the Iranian cultural authority ICHHTO and the UNESCO to perform structural design services for the earthquake‐resistant repair and rebuilding of the Sistani House in the historic citadel Arg‐e‐Bam in the south of Iran. The citadel was until its almost complete destruction by an earthquake on 26...
