Experimental Study on Seismic Performance of Confined Masonry Walls With Window Openings Strengthened by Using Hybrid-Fiber Modified Reactive Powder Concrete

open access: yesFrontiers in Materials, 2022
Unreinforced masonry structures are vulnerable to seismic action, especially with window openings. Therefore, a strengthening technique needs to be proposed to improve the seismic performance of the confined masonry walls with window openings.

Influence of Chained Masonry on the Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Buildings

open access: yesWalailak Journal of Science and Technology, 2021
The influence of chained masonry walls, which represents a special case of masonry infill without gap, on the seismic response of reinforced concrete buildings is extremely important due to their wide use in this type of building.

Seismic behavior of reinforced concrete buildings using chained masonry walls randomly located

open access: yesRevista 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 ...

Tube-Jack Testing for Irregular Masonry Walls: Regular Masonry Wall Testing [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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.

In-Plane Cyclic Response of Separated Masonry Infill Walls Using Polymeric Materials at the Surrounding Steel Frames Interface Using 3D FE Analysis [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Prediction of Rubble-Stone Masonry Walls Response under Axial Compression Using 2D Particle Modelling

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
To predict the structural behaviour of ancient stone masonry walls is still a challenging task due to their strong heterogeneity. A rubble-stone masonry modeling methodology using a 2D particle model (2D-PM), based on the discrete element method is ...
