  1. Injected tie-rods improve out-of-plane masonry wall capacity
    Study validates full-length tie-rod retrofitting for reducing out-of-plane seismic vulnerability in unreinforced masonry walls, providing design tools with ~7% accuracy.
  2. Cable length affected vibration-related joint degradation
    Study on vibration propagation in ultrasonically welded cable-arrester connections reveals length-dependent joint degradation mechanisms through experimental and finite element analysis.
