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.

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.

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.

Characterization and Reinforcement of Stone Masonry Walls

2013
Stone masonry is one of the oldest “structural materials” known to man. It is made by the superposition of stones, mortar and, very often, with infill material between leaves. The components present complex links and interactions and, in most cases, unknown geometry and high variability of their mechanical properties.

Discontinuity in masonry walls

2005
This paper describes how masonry civil structures form a large portion of the building stock, and as they increase in age, there is considerable interest in maintaining and extending their lives. Furthermore, a considerable number of these structures are part of the cultural heritage, so their maintenance and conservation are also priorities, apart ...

Masonry wall systems

1983
Several problems arise related to the performance of the building envelopes enclosing swimming pools. The most serious is the severe deterioration of masonry within a short time after construction. The emphasis in this paper is on the need to improve the aitightness of the building enclosure.
