Stochastic strength prediction of masonry structures: a methodological approach or a way forward?

open access: yesRILEM Technical Letters, 2020
Today, there are several computational models to predict the mechanical behaviour of masonry structures subjected to external loading. Such models require the input of material parameters to describe the mechanical behaviour and strength of masonry ...

Seismic Performance of a Three-Story Reinforced Concrete Building with Masonry Infill Walls and Friction Base Support

open access: yesCivil Engineering Dimension, 2021
The stiffness of masonry infill walls is commonly neglected in design practice of Reinforced Concrete (RC) structures. In fact, the stiffness of masonry infill wall may significantly influence seismic performance and dynamic behavior of RC buildings. In

A multi-level interface model for damaged masonry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The aim of the present work is to propose a new micro-mechanical model in the context of the deductive approach used to derive interface models. This model, based on a previous study introduced previously by A. Rekik and F.

Experimental Study on the Seismic Performance of Recycled Concrete Hollow Block Masonry Walls

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2019
This paper aims to manufacture recycled concrete hollow block (RCHB) which can be used for the masonry structure with seismic requirements. Five RCHB masonry walls were tested under cyclic loading to evaluate the effect of the axial compression stress ...

Numerical Study on Seismic Behavior of Moment-Resistant Steel Frames with Hybrid Masonry Infill [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2020
Hybrid masonry system is a new structural system, in which the masonry panels link to the frame with steel plate connections. Hybrid masonry uses masonry infill for lateral stiffness and strength within frames in addition to supporting out-of-plane ...
