Dynamic testing of a four-storey building with reinforced concrete and unreinforced masonry walls: prediction, test results and data set
This paper presents the results of a series of shake-table tests on a half-scale, four-storey building with reinforced concrete and unreinforced masonry walls. Due to the lack of reference tests, the seismic b...

Limit states of modern unreinforced clay brick masonry walls subjected to in-plane loading
Recent research showed that the in-plane horizontal displacement capacity of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls depends on numerous factors that are not yet captured by current empirical drift capacity models; e...

Scaling unreinforced masonry for reduced-scale seismic testing
When testing multi-storey structures, most testing facilities require the testing of a reduced-scale model. A literature review on tests of scaled masonry structural components revealed that scaling of masonry...

Towards Displacement-Based Seismic Design of Modern Unreinforced Masonry Structures
Unreinforced masonry (URM) structures are known to be rather vulnerable to seismic loading. Modern URM buildings with reinforced concrete (RC) slabs might, however, have an acceptable seismic performance for r...

Comparison of four methods for testing high-level aminoglycoside resistance in enterococci
In a prospective study the prevalence of high-level aminoglycoside resistance (MIC ≥ 2,000 µg/ml) among 62 clinically significant enterococci was investigated. A total of 105 organisms were inoculated a) onto a p...
