Retrofitting Masonry Walls against Out-Of-Plane Loading with Timber Based Panels
Applied Sciences, 2021 Unreinforced masonry walls are prone to failure when subjected to out-of-plane loading. This is due to their low performance in bending, and often the lack of appropriate connection to returning walls and floors.

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. This is based on a visual survey of the faces and the cross section of a wall panel, and it aims at verifying if a wall complies ...

Factors determining the quality of masonry – differentiation of resistance and reliability
Budownictwo i Architektura, 2020 A house or any other building without walls is truly hard to imagine. The first thing usually associated with walls is, of course, masonry. Today, masonry walls perform a load-bearing function in buildings up to four above-ground floors, in the higher ...

On Assisting and Automatizing the Semantic Segmentation of Masonry Walls
Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage, 2022 In Architectural Heritage, the masonry’s interpretation is an essential instrument for analysing the construction phases, the assessment of structural properties, and the monitoring of its state of conservation. This work is generally carried out by specialists that, based on visual observation and their knowledge, manually annotate ortho-images of the
