The Failure of Masonry Walls by Disaggregation and the Masonry Quality Index [PDF]
Heritage, 2020 The visual method for assessment of the structural behaviour of historic masonry walls, known by the acronym MQI (Masonry Quality Index) was introduced in 2002 by a team of researchers from the University of Perugia, Italy.

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.

Out‐of‐plane reinforcement of masonry walls using joint-embedded steel cables [PDF]
, 2020 The out-of-plane mechanism (rocking) of walls often causes fatalities and collapses of historic buildings during earthquakes. This paper addresses the problem of assessing the seismic resistance of walls subjected to out-of-plane bending, before and ...

Dynamic response of a damaging masonry wall [PDF]
, 2017 A nonlocal damage-plastic model is adopted to describe the nonlinear structural response of masonry structures. The model, based on a macromechanical approach, accounts for strength and stiffness degradation with hysteretic dissipation typically ...

Experimental evaluation of shear and compression strength of masonry wall before and after reinforcement: Deep repointing [PDF]
, 2007 Masonry presents some inadequacies due to its almost total lack of tensile strength. Typical damage to multiple leaf walls during earthquakes is the loss of bond between the leaves with consequent collapse of the external leaf.
