Database and Geometrical Characterization of 3D Stone Masonry Wall Microstructures
Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.This paper presents the first database of 3D microstructures of stone masonry walls, where masonry microstructure is defined as the shape, size, and layout of the stone units within the wall. The database includes 36 walls representing various masonry typologies as defined by the Italian code, with different leaf configurations (one‐, two‐, and three ...

Geometric Limits for the Seismic Design of Unreinforced Masonry Fence Walls
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 130-149, January 2026.ABSTRACT Current seismic design standards require masonry free‐standing walls to comply with regulations for masonry structural walls. Applying these current seismic design standards to fence walls (free‐standing walls) may be inappropriate due to the different restraint conditions between fence walls and structural walls.

Nonlinear macromodeling of multistory RC buildings with masonry infill walls
Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2023 AbstractThe structural behavior prediction of the multistory reinforced concrete (RC) buildings with masonry infill walls (MIWs) during earthquakes is challenging. This paper presents a nonlinear macromodeling strategy seeking a simple, reliable, and low-cost computational analysis of the multistory RC buildings that comprise MIWs, and that use frames ...
