Study the relative contribution of materials, reinforcement and concrete layers at different levels of cyclic deformation of masonry walls reinforced with shotcrete [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2018 In masonry buildings, walls are the main structural members that deal with lateral forces. The important point in seismic retrofitting projects is identify the most effective method of improving in various levels of displacement. Therefore, in this study

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study investigates how construction waste intensity affects greenhouse gas emissions (GHGe), analyzing data from 345 buildings constructed between 2007 and 2025. Using material waste rates (MWR) from previous cases, it predicts climate impacts based on typical material compositions.

Evaluation of the in-plane seismic performance of stone masonry walls [PDF]
, 2005 Although traditional historic masonry walls can be viewed as unsuitable structures to undergo seismic actions, they, in fact, exist and frequently represent the major structural elements of ancient buildings.

Numerical model to account for the influence of infill masonry on the RC structures behaviour [PDF]
, 2005 It is a common misconception considers that masonry infill walls in structural RC buildings can only increase the overall lateral load capacity, and, therefore, must always be considered beneficial to seismic performance.
