From point clouds to geometry for detailed micro-modelling of masonry structures

open access: yes, 2018
Over the last few decades significant efforts have been placed on the development of detailed numerical models to predict the mechanical behavior of historical masonry structures. However, an issue faced in the numerical modelling of historic and damaged

Low unit strength masonry: computational modelling approaches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Masonry is characterized by the large variability of its components. Parameters like strength, bond and workmanship defects strongly influence the performance of the overall structure.

Seismic assessment and rehabilitation of a historical theatre based on a macro-element strategy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The structural and seismic assessment of the 19th-century Petruzzelli theater in Bari (Italy) is presented. The macro-elements strategy was adopted to dismantle the whole structure in parts.

Out-of-plane in situ cyclic testing of unreinforced stone masonry walls with distributed loads

open access: yes, 2012
The present paper reports an in situ experimental test campaign carried out on existing buildings, in order to investigate the seismic behaviour of traditional masonry walls subject to out-of-plane loads.

Evaluation of strengthening techniques of traditional masonry buildings: case study of a four-building aggregate

open access: yes
Increasing appraisal of the durability, conservation state, and changeable use and function of old buildings in urban centers relies a great deal on the structural safety evaluation of vertical load capacity and the ability to resist horizontal forces ...

Upscaling the Strength Domain of Heterogeneous Cohesive‐Frictional Materials via a General FFT‐Based Limit Analysis Approach

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 12, 30 June 2026.
ABSTRACT Limit analysis and yield design provide a well‐defined mathematical framework for upscaling the strength properties of heterogeneous materials. These techniques can be incorporated into an FFT‐based computational micromechanics framework to evaluate the strength of heterogeneous materials, based on images of their microstructure.
