Drystone retaining walls
Drystone retaining walls are sustainable engineering structures constructed with locally obtained natural stone. They were commonly built with very slender profiles compared with modern mass-masonry structures, leading to a...

Interaction energy of domain walls in a nonlocal Ginzburg-Landau type model from micromagnetics
We study a variational model from micromagnetics involving a nonlocal Ginzburg-Landau type energy for S1-valued vector fields. These vector fields form domain walls, called Néel walls, that correspond to...
Structural Characteristics of Load Bearing Straw Bale Walls
Straw bales offer a renewable and affordable construction material suitable for a range of uses as both thermal insulation in walls and roofs, and for low rise loadbearing structural walls. As a co-product of food production, it...

Triplet superconductivity and proximity effect induced by Bloch and Néel domain walls
Noncollinear magnetic interfaces introduced in superconductor (SC)/ferromagnet/SC heterostructures allow for spin-flipping processes and are able to generate equal-spin spin-triplet pairing correlations within the...
Leadership forum on organizations and sustainability
In mid-2020, leaders in the field of organizations and the natural environment convened for a conference call to assess the field as it stands and consider reorientations that might elevate its scholarship and amplify its impact.
Thermal imaging assessment of drystone retaining walls
Drystone retaining walls form an essential part of the infrastructure in hilly and mountainous regions around the world, by providing platforms for roads, buildings and for agricultural terraces. Research carried out in England...

The epidermis of aerial plant organs is thought to be limiting for growth, because it acts as a continuous load-bearing layer, resisting tension. Leaf epidermis contains jigsaw puzzle piece-shaped pavement cells whose shape has...

Asymptotic behaviour of a pile-up of infinite walls of edge dislocations
We consider a system of parallel straight edge dislocations and we analyse its asymptotic behaviour in the limit of many dislocations. The dislocations are represented by points in a plane, and they are arranged in vertical...
Néel walls with prescribed winding number and how a nonlocal term can change the energy landscape
We study a nonlocal Allen-Cahn type problem for vector fields of unit length, arising from a model for domain walls (called Néel walls) in ferromagnetism. We show that the nonlocal term gives rise to new features in the energy...

The effect of simulated flooding on the structural performance of light frame timber shear walls - an experimental approach.
This paper presents the results of a series of tests on timber shear walls exposed to simulated flooding and drying. Load tests were conducted on three wall types; control, wet and restored. The mechanical properties of each of...
SEBS-Polymer-Modified Slag–Cement–Bentonite for Resilient Slurry Walls
In spite of the well-established design and construction approaches of slag–cement–bentonite slurry walls, the materials deteriorate inevitably in contaminated land. The development of effective materials which are...

Boundary-layer analysis of a pile-up of walls of edge dislocations at a lock
In this paper we analyse the behaviour of a pile-up of vertically periodic walls of edge dislocations at an obstacle, represented by a locked dislocation wall. Starting from a continuum non-local energy modelling the...

Seismic design of geosynthetic-reinforced earth retaining walls following a pseudo-static approach
Abstract
Geosynthetic-reinforced earth (GRE) retaining walls show a better performance than conventionally-designed walls during destructive earthquakes, due to their capability of...
Steady-state and dynamic hygrothermal performance of rendered straw bale walls
Wheat straw, in the form of compacted bales, is increasingly used as thermal insulation in the external walls of buildings. Common practice is to use a render finish, applied directly to surface of the straw bales, to protect...
Order-disorder, ferroelasticity and mobility of domain walls in multiferroic Cu-Cl boracite.
Domain walls in Cu-Cl boracite develop as a consequence of an improper ferroelastic, improper ferroelectric transition, and have attracted close interest because some are conductive and all can be mechanically written and...
