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.

Seismic risk assessment at the urban scale through the development of fragility curves: the case of Chlef City (formerly El Asnam), Algeria

Emergency Management Science and Technology
The seismic vulnerability of a building stock can be assessed by developing fragility curves, thereby creating a portfolio. These curves are a commonly used tool in seismic studies. Given its historical seismicity, Chlef City, located in northern Algeria,

Experimental testing and numerical modelling of infill masonry walls subjected to in-plane damage

, 2014
This work presents experimental test results obtained on clay unit masonry infill walls for framed structures. Tests were carried out on one-bay, real scale reinforced concrete frames, by imposing in-plane cyclic displacements at the frame top beam until

Fragility analysis of masonry structural units by Response Surface method

, 2018
Structural masonry aggregates include a set of inhomogeneous structural units that can interact under seismic action; therefore the seismic analysis cannot ignore the inevitable interactions resulting from structural contiguity between adjacent ...

From point clouds to geometry for detailed micro-modelling of masonry structures

, 2018
Over the last few decades significant efforts have been placed on the development of detailed numerical models to predict the mechanical behavior of historical masonry structures. However, an issue faced in the numerical modelling of historic and damaged

An image vectorisation procedure for microscale analysis of masonry elements

, 2018
The paper presents an effective strategy for creating realistic 3D microscale finite element meshes for masonry components with generic bond. Microscale masonry modelling, which considers separate representations for masonry units and mortar joints ...

Seismic retrofitting of masonry rocking elements with composite rebars

, 2018
Vulnerability of unreinforced masonry structures, characterized by an out-of-plane behaviour, represents a worthy research topic, as highlighted by recent seismic events.
