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

Buildings, 2023 Masonry buildings are generally vulnerable to seismic action, as evidenced extensively in past earthquakes. In order to improve their seismic performance, several modifications have been introduced, such as reinforcing or confining the masonry.

Typical collapse modes of confined masonry buildings under strong earthquake loads [PDF]
, 2011 Confined masonry structures are a widely applied structural system in many developing countries. During the past Wenchuan Earthquake in 2008, numerous confined masonry buildings collapsed, while many others suffered damage.

Comparison of building structure performance with masonry and without masonry
E3S 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 ...

Structural optimization of 3D masonry buildings [PDF]
ACM 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.

On the Influence of Masonry Infills in Concrete Buildings [PDF]
Civil-Comp Proceedings, 2010 The stresses induced in a structure by a seismic action have a low probability of occurrence and their magnitude is such that the structure is forced beyond the ultimate limit state. The effective standards in Portugal, and the ones that will be effective shortly, consider the possibility of a seismic action in all the territory, fact that has been ...
