Numerical investigation of the role of masonry typology on shear strength

The force-displacement behavior of masonry elements depends on the properties of their constituents, mortar and unit, as well as on their typology, i.e., the shape and size of the units and the patterns they generate. Up until now, only few numerical studi ...

Micro-mechanical finite element modeling for in-plane behavior of historical masonry

Shenghan Zhang

Seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry structures remains a challenge. This dissertation investigates the in-plane behavior of historical masonry elements and proposes an advanced simulation method based on the cohesive zone model (CZM) in a finite ele ...

Assembling Self-Supporting Structures

Mark Pauly, Yang Liu, Mario Moacir Deuss

Self-supporting structures are prominent in historical and contemporary architecture due to advantageous structural properties and efficient use of material. Computer graphics research has recently contributed new design tools that allow creating and inter ...

Influence of coupling on the displacement capacities of URM piers – comparison of experimental results with existing recommendations

Katrin Beyer, Sarah Petry

In existing European recommendations the drift capacity of unreinforced masonry (URM) piers is estimated as a function of the failure mode, aspect ratio and/or axial load ratio. The empirical relationships are based on a set of results from quasi-static cy ...
