CAVITY WALLS
INTRODUCTION
The term «cavity wall» is applied to a type of masonry wall construction in which a continuous air space or cavity is provided inside the wall.
A cavity wall therefore is actually two walls separated by an air space, but joined by means of metal ties for structural strength. They are extensively used in European countries, particularly Great Britain, where they have been developed as a means of obtaining protection from penetration of rain through masonry walls.
In recent y..............etc

INTRODUCTION
Shear walls are vertical elements of the horizontal force resisting system. Shear walls are constructed to counter the effects of lateral load acting on a structure. In residential construction, shear walls are straight external walls that typically form a box which provides all of the lateral support for the building.When shear walls are designed and constructed properly, and they will have the strength and stiffness to resist..............etc

ABSTRACT:
A new technique for reinforcing rubble stone masonry walls (double and triple-leaf walls), when it is required to keep the fair-face masonry. The reinforcement technique consists of a continuous mesh made of tiny steel cords embedded perfectly in the mortar joints after a first repointing, and anchored to the wall by means of galvanized steel eyebolts driven into the facing. A second repointing covers the cords and the heads of the eyeb..............etc

See-Through Walls: Motion Tracking Using Variance-Based Radio Tomography Networks


INTRODUCTION

THIS paper explores a method for tracking the location of a
person or object behind walls, without the need for an
electronic device to be attached to the target. The technology
is an extension of “radio tomographic imaging” , which is
so-called because of its analogy to medical tomographic
imaging methods. We call this extension variance-based radio

Seismic Stability of Soil Nail Walls


E-1-Background
Vucetic et al (1997) analyzed the stability of soil nail excavation that were shaken by the
1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake. In brief, the performance of nine different grouted soilnailed
excavations in the San Francisco Bay area during the October 17, 1989 Loma
Prieta earthquake was analyzed on the basis of post-earthquake visual inspections,
subsequent stability analyses and dynamic centrifuge model tests...............etc
