In-Plane Cyclic Response of Separated Masonry Infill Walls Using Polymeric Materials at the Surrounding Steel Frames Interface Using 3D FE Analysis [PDF]
Journal of Rehabilitation in Civil Engineering, 2023 Masonry infill walls are commonly used as partitions and exterior walls in many countries. Generally, the masonry wall is executed without any gap from the frame, which leads to the interaction between the structural frame and the infill wall ...

Tube-Jack Testing for Irregular Masonry Walls: Regular Masonry Wall Testing [PDF]
Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation, 2016 This paper presents the continued development of a novel non-destructive testing method termed tube-jack testing. The goal of the tube-jack system is to provide an enhanced and less destructive method than traditional flat-jack testing for determination of mechanical characteristics and local stress states in irregular masonry walls.
