Unreinforced masonry (URM) structures are known to be rather vulnerable to seismic loading. Modern URM buildings with reinforced concrete (RC) slabs might, however, have an acceptable seismic performance for regions of low to moderate seismicity. In partic ...
For a shake table test on a four-storey structure with both unreinforced hollow-core brick masonry (URM) walls and reinforced concrete (RC) walls, the test unit had to be constructed at half-scale. While past experience showed that testing RC structural el ...
In this paper, the bond behaviour of masonry elements made of tuff stone and bonded with different types of FRP fabrics (glass, carbon, basalt) has been investigated through an experimental campaign. Tuff is a natural stone representing a very common base ...
In modern unreinforced masonry (URM) walls, the vertical piers are connected at the storey levels by reinforced concrete (RC) ring beams or RC slabs. Particularly, in the outer walls, the spandrel element also includes a masonry spandrel on top of the RC b ...
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 ...
Many older unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings feature timber floors and solid brick masonry. Simple equivalent frame models can help predicting the expected failure mechanism and estimating the strength of a URM wall. When modelling a URM wall with an eq ...
In the second half of the 20th century, the majority of residential buildings in Switzerland have been built with unreinforced brick masonry walls and reinforced concrete floors. Following a re-evaluation of the seismic hazard in Switzerland, a country of ...
In this paper, the bond behaviour of masonry elements made of tuff stone and bonded with different types of FRP fabrics (glass, carbon, basalt) has been investigated through an experimental campaign. Tuff is a natural stone representing a very common base ...
In several seismic countries, residential buildings are constructed using both reinforced concrete (RC) and unreinforced masonry (URM) walls. Despite their popularity, there is a general lack of knowledge concerning the seismic behaviour of such mixed syst ...
For the design of SFRC members, the most fundamental material property is its post cracking residual tensile strength. When relying on physical models to describe structural behaviour under load, the material laws must first be accurately established. If t ...
