The present work focuses on the seismic behaviour of timber-laced masonry buildings with timber floors, before and after the application of intervention techniques. A two-storey building with timber ties (scale 1:2) was subjected to biaxial seismic actions. Prior to the execution of shaking table tests, the dynamic characteristics of the model were identified. The base acceleration was increased step-wise until the occurrence of significant but repairable damages. Afterwards, the masonry was strengthened by means of grouting, whereas the diaphragm action of the top floor of the building was enhanced and the model was re-tested. The tests on the timber reinforced model before strengthening show that the presence of timber ties within the masonry elements contributes to improved seismic behaviour. The performance of the model after strengthening shows that the selected intervention techniques led to a significant improvement of the seismic behaviour of the building model. 相似文献

Wettability profoundly affects not only the initial distribution of residual NAPL contaminants in natural soils, but also their subsequent dissolution in a flowing aqueous phase. Under conditions of preferential NAPL wettability, the residual NAPL phase is found within the smaller pores and in the form of continuous corner filaments and thick films on pore walls. Such films expose a much greater interfacial area for mass transfer than would be exposed by the same amount of non-wetting NAPL. Importantly, capillary and hydraulic continuity of NAPL filaments and thick films is essential for sustaining NAPL–water counterflow during the course of NAPL dissolution in flowing groundwater—a mechanism which maintains and even increases the interfacial area for mass transfer. Continued dissolution results in gradual thinning of the NAPL films, which may become unstable and rupture causing disconnection of the residual NAPL in the form of clusters. Using a pore network simulator, we demonstrate that NAPL film instability drastically modifies the microscopic configuration of residual NAPL, and hence the local hydrodynamic conditions and interfacial area for mass transfer, with concomitant effects on macroscopically observable quantities, such as the aqueous effluent concentration and the fractional NAPL recovery with time. These results strongly suggest that the disjoining pressure of NAPL films may exert an important, and hitherto unaccounted, control on the dissolution behaviour of a residual NAPL phase in oil wet systems. 相似文献
