Optimization of Intervention Strategies for Masonry Buildings Based on CLT Components

open access: yesHeritage, 2022
Unreinforced masonry has been for centuries one of the most widespread constructive techniques for both massive structures and civil buildings (e.g., palaces, hospitals, houses), for the most still standing nowadays.

Mortar Characterization of Historical Masonry Damaged by Riverbank Failure: The Case of Lungarno Torrigiani (Florence)

open access: yesHeritage, 2023
The research of structural masonry associated with geo-hydrological hazards in Cultural Heritage is a multidisciplinary issue, requiring consideration of several aspects including the characterization of used materials. On 25 May 2016, loss of water from

Identification and Model Update of the Dynamic Properties of the San Silvestro Belfry in L’Aquila and Estimation of Bell’s Dynamic Actions

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
The authors investigated the dynamic behaviour of the San Silvestro belfry in L’Aquila (Italy). The 2009 earthquake in L’Aquila caused severe damages to the entire masonry complex. Extensive rehabilitation works, ended in 2019, repaired the structure and

Hygrothermal performance of a massive natural stone masonry wall insulated from the internal side with hemp concrete – field measurements in cold climate

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2021
Abstract Improving of exterior walls in historic and traditional buildings is often only possible with interior thermal insulation. The actual structure and material properties of the existing exterior wall are usually the main unknown factors.

Engineering Geological and Geophysical Studies Supporting Finite Element Analysis of Historical Buildings after Dynamic Identification

open access: yesGeosciences, 2023
Resonance frequencies of a masonry bell tower were estimated by means of ambient noise measurements and compared with those computed by using fixed base, Winkler, and FE numerical, including subsoil. Given the geological complexity that characterizes the

From legend to discovery – historical and geotechnical conditions related to the discovery of tunnels under The Castle Hill in Szczecin [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Civil Engineering, 2023
The historical past of a building has a key influence on the variability of geotechnical conditions. These conditions change with a modification of the structural system, a change in function or only architectural elements (fashionable in a given period).

Masonry Columns Confined by Steel Fiber Composite Wraps [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The application of steel fiber reinforced polymer (SRP) as a means of increasing the capacity of masonry columns is investigated in this study. The behavior of 23 solid-brick specimens that are externally wrapped by SRP sheets in low volumetric ratios is
