Nonlinear modelling of the seismic response of masonry structures: Calibration strategies
Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2021 In this paper, a simple and practitioners-friendly calibration strategy to consistently link target panel-scale mechanical properties (that can be found in national standards) to model material-scale mechanical properties is presented.

Efficient Constitutive Model for Continuous Micro-Modeling of Masonry Structures
International Journal of Architectural Heritage, 2022 Masonry is a composite material often modeled as an equivalent homogenous material. However, the complexity of its micro-structure leads to complex mechanical responses, which are almost impossible to capture accurately with homogenous constitutive ...

Assessing the safety of vaulted masonry structures using thrust network analysis
, 2021 This paper presents a methodology to assess the stability of vaulted masonry structures using Thrust Network Analysis (TNA). It offers a new numerical strategy to compute the Geometric Safety Factor (GSF) of a given structure by directly evaluating its ...

On the effects of modified lane configuration due to construction works on bridge loading
Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2022 Construction works are frequently recurring events within highway networks, temporarily altering the characteristics of the traffic flow and hence of the bridge loading process. Consequently, highway bridge superstructures usually carrying unidirectional

Analysis of flood impacts on masonry structures and mitigation measures
Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2021 The impact of floods can be devastating to buildings, especially in countries and villages in mountainous areas. Based on the flood impact risk analysis results, two methods are suggested by authors to improve the flood impact defense capability of rural

Numerical limit analysis-based modelling of masonry structures subjected to large displacements
, 2021 In this paper, we introduce an extension of the piecewise rigid displacement (PRD) method for addressing the stability of a generic two-dimensional masonry structure subjected to large displacements.

Analysis of Deflections of Bridge Girders Strengthened by Carbon Fibre Reinforcement
The Baltic Journal of Road and Bridge Engineering, 2008 The paper deals with experimental and theoretical investigations in reinforced concrete structures strengthened with carbon fibre sheets. Four stages in the behaviour of concrete structures strengthened with the carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) are
