Strain Monitoring and Crack Detection in Masonry Walls under In-Plane Shear Loading Using Smart Bricks: First Results from Experimental Tests and Numerical Simulations

open access: yesSensors, 2023
A diffuse and continuous monitoring of the in-service structural response of buildings can allow for the early identification of the formation of cracks and collapse mechanisms before the occurrence of severe consequences. In the case of existing masonry

The Failure of Masonry Walls by Disaggregation and the Masonry Quality Index

open access: yesHeritage, 2020
The visual method for assessment of the structural behaviour of historic masonry walls, known by the acronym MQI (Masonry Quality Index) was introduced in 2002 by a team of researchers from the University of Perugia, Italy.

Masonry Structures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Masonry buildings represent the most widely spread type of structure since the beginning of time until present day. Firstly, stone and wood were used for building, since these materials were easily found in nature, and later elements made out of baked clay, also known as brick. Today, as well as in the past, in the areas of residential, administrative,

Evaluation of strengthening techniques of traditional masonry buildings: case study of a four-building aggregate [PDF]

open access: yes
Increasing appraisal of the durability, conservation state, and changeable use and function of old buildings in urban centers relies a great deal on the structural safety evaluation of vertical load capacity and the ability to resist horizontal forces ...

Modeling Approaches for Masonry Structures [PDF]

open access: yesThe Open Civil Engineering Journal, 2014
Different scale approaches, micromechanical, multiscale and macromechanical or phenomenological, are presented to study the structural response of masonry elements. First, a micromechanical model is introduced and the masonry is considered to be a heterogeneous material, made of mortar and bricks joined by interfaces, where the mortarbrick decohesion ...

Numerical Modelling and Validation of the Response of Masonry Infilled RC Frames Using Experimental Testing Results

open access: yesBuildings, 2020
Reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings with masonry infills represent one of the most common structural typologies worldwide. Although, in the past, masonry infills were frequently considered as non-structural elements and their interaction with the ...
