, 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,

The Failure of Masonry Walls by Disaggregation and the Masonry Quality Index
Heritage, 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.

Calibration of the dynamic behaviour of incomplete structures in archeological sites: The case of Villa Diomede portico in Pompeii [PDF]
, 2017 This paper reports the research activities carried out on Villa Diomede in Pompeii, built during the "Pre-Roman period" (i.e. the 3rd century BC) and discovered between 1771 and 1774 during the archaeological excavations.

Out‐of‐plane reinforcement of masonry walls using joint-embedded steel cables [PDF]
, 2020 The out-of-plane mechanism (rocking) of walls often causes fatalities and collapses of historic buildings during earthquakes. This paper addresses the problem of assessing the seismic resistance of walls subjected to out-of-plane bending, before and ...

Buildings, 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 ...

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.

Numerical model to account for the influence of infill masonry on the RC structures behaviour [PDF]
, 2005 It is a common misconception considers that masonry infill walls in structural RC buildings can only increase the overall lateral load capacity, and, therefore, must always be considered beneficial to seismic performance.

Finite-discrete element modelling of masonry infill walls subjected to out-of-plane loads [PDF]
, 2016 In this paper, the out-of-plane response of infill walls is investigated by means of non-linear monotonic (push-over) analyses through a combined finite and discrete modelling approach.

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.ABSTRACT High‐resolution and accurate synoptic images of terrestrial topography, even in densely forested areas, have proven valuable for archaeology by enabling the identification and characterization of relief patterns associated with ancient human activities. This study presents a novel approach that integrates digital terrain models (DTMs) obtained

Optimization of structural brickwork laying joints in concrete blocks
Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais, 2018 One of the challenges in the investigation of structural masonry is the correlation between the thickness of the laying joints and the global resistance of the masonry.
