Comparison of Safety Levels of Reinforced Masonry and Concrete Walls Using Reliability Analysis
DownloadFall 2023
The strength reduction factors in the Canadian masonry design standard were last calibrated in the 1980s. The factors were last updated (2004) based on reliability studies performed on reinforced-concrete structures, but no masonry-specific reliability analyses were conducted to support this...

The recognition performance of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) models can be sub-optimal when document images suffer from various degradations. Supervised learning-based methods for image enhancement can generate high-quality enhanced images. However, these methods require the availability of...
