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.

Seismic behavior of reinforced concrete buildings using chained masonry walls randomly located
Revista Facultad de Ingeniería Universidad de Antioquia, 2022 The widespread use of masonry infill walls in the most prone zones to earthquakes, for the execution of multistoried reinforced concrete buildings, as well as the recorded damage caused by earthquakes, have forced us to study their influence on the ...

All Sciences Abstracts, 2023 Unreinforced masonry has been used as a construction material for thousands of years. Whilesome of these structures survive to this day, these tend to have massive walls and would be unpractical formodern use. Unreinforced masonry can be reinforced with proper masonry techniques.

Study of the Arrangement Effect of Units on the Shear Strength Masonry Walls in Meso-Scale [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2016 Masonry is one of the oldest building materials which have been used in most heritage structures and new construction. In this study by using a meso-scale finite element model, the behavior of masonry walls is investigated under monotonic loading by ...
