The seismic reinforcement of masonry walls needs to be carried out through appropriate and effective techniques aiming at providing both adequate strength and displacement capacity. The present research concerns experimental results about the in-plane beha ...
Determination of the load-bearing capacity of natural-stone masonry arches is an important aspect in the field of conservation of architectural heritage. Structural verification of bridges of this type requires thorough methods in order to make efficient u ...
In codes the drift capacity of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls is often estimated as a function of the failure mode and the aspect ratio. The empirical relationships are based on results from quasi-static cyclic tests on single URM walls, which were teste ...
The mechanical response of stone masonry depends on the properties of the components and also on the typology created by the stone units and the mortar joints. While the influence of the component strength on masonry is relatively well studied, few studies ...
In this paper, a numerical model for the pushover analysis of in-plane loaded unreinforced masonry walls is presented. For the analysis of the walls, which consist of vertical piers connected by horizontal masonry spandrels, an equivalent frame model is ad ...
For several reasons the challenge to keep the loads to the first wall within engineering limits is substantially higher in DEMO compared to ITER. Therefore the pre-conceptual design development for DEMO that is currently ongoing in Europe needs to be based ...
The experimental results of several bond tests on masonry blocks made of yellow tuff and bonded with different types of Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP) fabrics carried out by the authors are presented and analysed. The discussion of results is mainly focuse ...
When testing multi-storey structures, most testing facilities require the testing of a reduced-scale model. A literature review on tests of scaled masonry structural components revealed that scaling of masonry was rather challenging and often significant d ...
Historical masonry arch bridges are an integral part of our cultural heritage and deserve the attention and the efforts required to safeguard their patrimonial value. There is currently a diverse range of methods available to engineers for evaluating the l ...
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 ...
