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

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.

Steel Supported Masonry Walls

Engineering Journal, 1980
Structural steel beams and columns are often used to support masonry walls subjected to transverse and axial loads. Warehouse and gymnasium type buildings often have large floor-to-ceiling heights, such that allowable masonry wall heights are exceeded.
