Assessment Method for Combined Structural and Energy Retrofitting in Masonry Buildings
Buildings, 2017 The retrofitting of existing masonry buildings is now a crucial problem for Europe. Indeed, structural safety and energy efficiency should represent the target of any renovation.

Comparison of building structure performance with masonry and without masonry [PDF]
E3S Web of Conferences, 2023 In structural designing, commonly the brickwall is only considered as a gravity load acting on the beam. On the other words, the wall in the building structure is assumed as a non-structural component. In this paper, the structural performance of a three-

In-Plane Cyclic Response of Separated Masonry Infill Walls Using Polymeric Materials at the Surrounding Steel Frames Interface Using 3D FE Analysis [PDF]
Journal of Rehabilitation in Civil Engineering, 2023 Masonry infill walls are commonly used as partitions and exterior walls in many countries. Generally, the masonry wall is executed without any gap from the frame, which leads to the interaction between the structural frame and the infill wall ...

Masonry patterns' influence on the damage assessment of URM walls: Current and future trends
Developments in the Built Environment, 2023 While the influence of the component strength on the structural behaviour of Historic Masonry Structures (HMS) is relatively well studied, few studies have investigated masonry textures.

Aspects of alteration of masonry historical buildings without ring beam of floor slabs [PDF]
Biuletyn Wojskowej Akademii Technicznej, 2016 Some problems of alteration for building structures of a conventional masonry for which working lifetime is approaching or has exceeded the expected design life are presented.

On the equilibrium of simplicial masonry structures [PDF]
ACM Transactions on Graphics, 2013 We present a novel approach for the analysis and design of self-supporting simplicial masonry structures. A finite-dimensional formulation of their compressive stress field is derived, offering a new interpretation of thrust networks through numerical homogenization theory.

Modal analysis of masonry structures [PDF]
Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids, 2018 This paper presents a new numerical tool for evaluating the vibration frequencies and mode shapes of masonry buildings in the presence of cracks. The algorithm has been implemented within the NOSA-ITACA code, which models masonry as a nonlinear elastic material with zero tensile strength.
