Damage-imperfection indicators for the assessment of multi-leaf masonry walls under different conditions [PDF]
, 2018 The complexity of multi-leaf masonry walls suggests further researches on the dy- namic behaviour mainly characterized by incoherent response between the different layers.

Modeling of Structural Masonry
, 2023 Masonry is a composite material, and its behavior shows that its weaknesses lie in the minimum resistance of its components and the characteristics of the interfaces between them. Ceramic brick masonry has technological characteristics that make it suitable for housing and building functions. The bricks, of reduced dimensions and joined with mortars of

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract In practice, reinforced concrete (RC) wall‐like columns often have openings to facilitate building services, which creates stress concentrations around the opening, resulting in the weakening of their load‐carrying capacity. This study proposes innovative strengthening methods using near‐surface mounted (NSM) incorporating steel materials to ...

Compressive and shear behaviour of masonry panels: experimentation and numerical analysis [PDF]
, 2018 The compressive and shear behavior of masonry is here studied both experimental- ly and numerically. An experimental campaign has been carried out on 9 square-shaped one leaf masonry panels, reproducing historical masonry.

Dynamic one-sided out-of-plane behavior of unreinforced-masonry wall restrained by elasto-plastic tie-rods [PDF]
, 2019 Past earthquakes have shown the high vulnerability of existing masonry buildings, particularly to out-of-plane local collapse mechanisms. Such mechanisms can be prevented if façades are restrained by tie rods improving the connections to perpendiculars ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract Textile reinforced mortar (TRM) systems have emerged as an effective alternative to conventional FRP strengthening solutions due to their compatibility with concrete substrates and favorable performance under adverse environmental conditions.

Mechanics of hollow concrete block masonry prisms under compression: Review and prospects [PDF]
, 2007 The aim of this work is to critically assess the mechanical properties of hollow concrete masonry using experimental results from prisms constructed with blocks of two different strengths and four types of mortar.

The Impact of a Pre‐Existing Defect on Liability for Property Damage: Taylor v Jones
The Modern Law Review, EarlyView.Taylor v Jones involved liability for causing damage to a building that had a pre‐existing defect. The defendant was in principle liable for the cost of repairing the damage. However, the Court of Appeal denied liability for the cost of repairing the pre‐existing defect even though such repair was necessary to restore the building to the state it would
