Assessment of Safety of Masonry Buildings near Deep Excavations: Ultimate Limit States

open access: yesBuildings, 2023
It is a common practice to construct new buildings in the close vicinity of existing buildings. New buildings require deep excavations, which cause non-uniform displacement of the ground, causing a negative impact on the safety and technical conditions ...

Structural optimization of 3D masonry buildings [PDF]

open access: yesACM Transactions on Graphics, 2012
In the design of buildings, structural analysis is traditionally performed after the aesthetic design has been determined and has little influence on the overall form. In contrast, this paper presents an approach to guide the form towards a shape that is more structurally sound.

Comparison of building structure performance with masonry and without masonry

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2023
In structural designing, commonly the brickwall is only considered as a gravity load acting on the beam. On the other words, the wall in the building structure is assumed as a non-structural component. In this paper, the structural performance of a three-story building with masonry and without masonry due to seismic loads will be analyzed using ...
