Database and Geometrical Characterization of 3D Stone Masonry Wall Microstructures

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
This paper presents the first database of 3D microstructures of stone masonry walls, where masonry microstructure is defined as the shape, size, and layout of the stone units within the wall. The database includes 36 walls representing various masonry typologies as defined by the Italian code, with different leaf configurations (one‐, two‐, and three ...

Experimental Evaluation of Prototype Seismic Retrofits for Precast Concrete Hollow‐Core Floors

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Existing hollow‐core floors are vulnerable to nonductile failure and potential collapse under earthquake loading. This study presents the development and experimental evaluation of novel comprehensive seismic retrofits for hollow‐core floors. These retrofits include a strongback‐type retrofit that provides an alternative gravity load path through steel

Hygrothermal response of masonry facades with vapour-tight or capillary-active internal insulation under current and future climate scenarios

Built Heritage
Interior thermal insulation has been widely used to improve energy efficiency and indoor comfort of historic buildings. However, traditional vapour-tight insulation materials strongly influence the hygrothermal behaviour of facades, which may lead to ...

Out-of-plane behaviour of masonry walls strengthened with a GFRP reinforced mortar coating

, 2014
A strengthening technique for masonry walls based on the application of a mortar coating reinforced with GFRP meshes was considered in the study, so to evidence its effectiveness for out-of-plane actions.

Experimental and numerical characterization of the cyclic behaviour of unreinforced and reinforced masonry spandrels

, 2014
The mechanical behaviour of unreinforced and reinforced masonry spandrels is studied, using the results of several experimental tests carried out on H-shaped full-scale specimens.

Low unit strength masonry: computational modelling approaches [PDF]

, 2014
Masonry is characterized by the large variability of its components. Parameters like strength, bond and workmanship defects strongly influence the performance of the overall structure.

Recent Building Exposures in Banda Aceh-Indonesia Based on A 1000-Year Return Period Tsunami Hazard Analysis [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
The 2004 Indian Ocean (Aceh) Tsunami caused massive damage to buildings and infrastructure in coastal Aceh, Indonesia. Because Aceh lies in an active fault zone, the potential for another earthquake capable of triggering a major tsunami remains high ...
