A new proposal for the design of confined masonry buildings [PDF]
, 2010 Confined masonry has been efficiently used for buildings in Latin-America, Northern-Africa and Asia, even in seismic areas. However, despite all the research on the seismic behaviour of this structural typology, mainly in Latin-America, the lack of ...

Masonry infill walls under blast loading using confined underwater blast wave generators (WBWG) [PDF]
, 2015 The vulnerability of the masonry envelop under blast loading is considered critical due to the risk of loss of lives. The dynamic behaviour of masonry infill walls subjected to dynamic out-of-plane loading was experimentally investigated in this work ...
