A non-linear masonry infill macro-model to represent the global behaviour of buildings under cyclic loading [PDF]
The presence of masonry infill walls in RC buildings is very common. However, and even today, in the design of new buildings and in the assessment of existing ones, these infill walls are usually considered as non-structural elements and their influence ...

Practical assessment of masonry tunnel joint segmentation using topological machine learning
Abstract Condition assessment of masonry lined tunnels is time consuming and labor intensive. Recently developed digital workflows enable structural models to be created automatically, reducing analysis time. As part of these procedures, it is important to be able to identify the location of each masonry block.

Respon Model Gedung Beton Bertulang dengan Penambahan Dinding Pengisi terhadap Beban Gempa
Earthquake-resistant building structures designs usually are not considering the influence of non-structural walls. In fact, non-structural walls could give additional strength for building especially to help retaining seismic loads.

The use of FRPs in seismic repair and retrofit: experimental verification [PDF]
The application of FRPs in the seismic repair and retrofit of structures is addressed. The results from a few tests on full-scale structures, repaired and/or retrofitted with composites, performed at the ELSA laboratory are presented and ...

ABSTRACT This study deals with the high‐fidelity block‐based finite element simulation of dynamic out‐of‐plane (OOP) responses of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls, explicitly focusing on two‐way bending behaviors under seismic loads, which is a common critical failure mode in real‐world masonry structures.

Numerical models to simulate the seismic response of RC structures [PDF]
Seismic analysis of RC structures requires realistic and simple analytical models. In this paper are presented two models proposed and implemented in the program PORANL, to represent the RC buildings behaviour under severe earthquake loading. The first

Numerically based proposals for the stiffness and strength of masonry infills with openings in reinforced concrete frames [PDF]
Aimed at investigating the effect of openings on the in-plane behaviour of masonry infills in reinforced concrete frames, a parametric study is presented based on model calibration via experimental tests.

Traditional timber frame walls: mechanical behavior analysis and retrofitting [PDF]
Timber frame construction is characteristic of several historic city centres as well as of vernacular architecture in several countries around the world, either motivated by the availability of materials and construction traditions or by the need of ...
