Seismic vulnerability of existing masonry buildings: Nonlinear parametric analysis [PDF]

, 2015
Existing masonry structures are usually associated to a high seismic vulnerability, mainly due to the properties of the materials, weak connections between floors and load-bearing walls, high mass of the masonry walls and flexibility of the floors.

An Archaeometric Approach to Reveal Organic Compounds via GC‐MS Analyses of Two Discovered Incense Burners at Daba Al‐Bayah

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study focuses on two terracotta incense burners discovered in the Daba Al‐Bayah necropolis in the Musandam Peninsula (Oman), associated with an Iron Age collective tomb (LCG‐2). Through gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS), the organic residues preserved within these artifacts were analyzed to investigate their use and ...

Seismic Enhancement of Masonry‐Infilled Substandard Reinforced Concrete Frames Using Lightweight Steel Exoskeleton

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 603-623, March 2026.
ABSTRACT A significant portion of existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures in seismically active regions was constructed prior to the adoption of modern seismic design standards, leaving them highly susceptible to earthquake‐induced damage. The vulnerabilities of these structures, often exacerbated by material degradation, have been starkly ...

STUDY ON EMPIRICAL SEISMIC CODAL GUIDELINES FOR MASONRY BUILDINGS IN KOLLAM, KERALA, INDIA [PDF]

Journal of Engineering Science and Technology, 2015
Masonry structures fail miserably due to lateral loads. Recent earthquakes in India and the world and the resulting losses highlighted the structural inadequacy of masonry buildings to seismic loads. Increase in frequency of earthquake in Kerala recently

Investigation of the bed joint reinforcement effect on the drift capacity of modern unreinforced masonry walls [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences
Bed joint reinforcement significantly affects the shear capacity of masonry walls due to its effective ability to transfer shear forces through a diagonal crack, but how does this phenomenon impact its drift capacity?

Flexural behaviour of brick masonry retrofitted with braided textile meshes [PDF]

, 2013
The vulnerability of unreinforced masonry walls (URM) under seismic events, causing huge loss of money and human lives, has revealed the enormous need for an efficient strengthening material.

Finite-discrete element modelling of masonry infill walls subjected to out-of-plane loads [PDF]

, 2016
In this paper, the out-of-plane response of infill walls is investigated by means of non-linear monotonic (push-over) analyses through a combined finite and discrete modelling approach.

Combined Vertical and Horizontal Components of Near‐Source Earthquakes and Impact on Base‐Isolated Structures

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 781-803, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Over recent decades, the collection of seismic data has improved the understanding of near‐fault ground motion effects, which involve both horizontal and vertical components. Among the most significant effects are fault‐normal directivity, which concentrates seismic energy into an intense, long‐period pulse, and fault‐parallel fling step ...

Out-of-plane seismic response of stone masonry walls: experimental and analytical study of real piers [PDF]

, 2012
This paper presents the application of an existing simplified displacement-based procedure to the characterization of the nonlinear force-displacement relationship for the out-of-plane behaviour of unreinforced traditional masonry walls.

An Experimental Study on the Effect of Water on Historic Brickwork Masonry [PDF]

, 2020
Architectural heritage is deeply threatened by extreme weather events due to ongoing climatic change. Since these phenomena are becoming more and more serious, their effects cannot be neglected when a reliable assessment of a historic masonry structure ...
