Failure risk assessment method of masonry structures under earthquakes and flood scouring

Mechanics of Advanced Materials and Structures, 2021
Flood scouring can expose the foundation and cause stiffness degradation of masonry structures and is often overlooked by designers and engineers. The seismic performance of a structure cannot be guaranteed when stiffness degradation reaches a certain ...

Repair of masonry structures

Meccanica, 1992
Besides the traditional repair techniques of craftsmen for masonry structures, engineering methods and procedures such as grouting and reinforcing of old masonry are available. These technical measures can help to save the monumental value of historically important buildings more effectively than the procedure of dismantling and rebuilding; and, as a ...

Structural Repointing of Masonry Structures

Key Engineering Materials, 2019
Existing masonry structures are often in need of strengthening due to the limited masonry tensile strength and consequent occurrence of cracks, which can lead to collapse of the structure. To control the cracking phenomena and increase the load associated with a certain collapse mechanism, structural repointing by means of reinforcing bars inserted in ...

Seismic vulnerability assessment of confined masonry structures by macro-modeling approach

Structures, 2020
As seen during numerous earthquakes, confined masonry exhibited a reliable anti-seismic response due to a number of factors. To understand the effect of these factors, a case study of full scale confined masonry (CM) structure is considered and results ...

Masonry Structures

2016
Historical masonry buildings often show diffused crack patterns due to different causes in relation to original function, construction technique and loading history. Non-destructive testing methods, and especially the Acoustic Emission (AE) technique, applied as in situ monitoring systems allow reliable evaluation of the state of conservation of these ...

Micromechanical modelling of mortar joints and brick-mortar interfaces in masonry Structures: A review of recent developments

, 2020
Suitable numerical models of masonry structures are very important in their response evaluation under various loading events. Masonry is a heterogeneous material, made of mortar and masonry units, and joined together by interfaces. Constitutive models of

An integrated approach for the numerical modeling of severely damaged historic structures: Application to a masonry bridge

Advances in Engineering Software, 2021
This paper presents an integrated approach that combines advanced survey procedures, such as close range photogrammetry based on high resolution images provided by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, and Ambient Vibration Tests to develop accurate Finite Element ...

Optimization of concrete stiffeners for confined brick masonry structures

, 2020
In order to ensure safety of confined brick masonry structures, researchers have recommended the use of reinforced-concrete (RC) stiffeners. Most of the time, the seismic demand is much less than the provided strength even with the use of minimum ...
