Interaction of masonry walls and shear walls in masonry buildings

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Structures and Buildings, 2018
In most seismic regions of the world, many unreinforced masonry buildings have been constructed for different uses, including schools. Statistical analyses showed that 90% of schools on the retrofitting list in Iran are unreinforced masonry buildings. The addition of shear walls is a frequently used retrofitting method in these buildings.

Fire Behavior of Masonry Walls

Recent Patents on Mechanical Engineeringe, 2009
A coupled hydro-thermal model is developed to study the phase-change process within partially saturated porous media. During the heating process (up to 1100°C), the increase of temperature in the medium is characterized by a plateau at a boiling point (around 100°C) revealing the energy absorption due to phase-change (liquid-vapor). In order to analyze

Masonry Walls as Orthotropic No Tension Structures

Advanced Materials Research, 2010
In this paper, following the research line proposed by Milankovicth (1910) and Signorini (1925), a semi-analytical approach for the analysis of masonry walls - treated as horizontally multi-layered strata of no-tension material - is proposed in order to evaluate the stress distribution generated by applied loads.

Masonry Wall Damage by Restraint to Shrinkage

Journal of Structural Engineering, 2004
Restrained shrinkage has been identified as a major source of damage to buildings in The Netherlands. Several numerical studies have been performed and reported. Yet, successful experimental simulation and quantification have not yet been performed. In this paper, the successful design, setup, and execution of such an experiment are described.
