A discrete macro-model using homogenization with strain-rate dependency for the out-of-plane study of masonry panels subjected to impact loading [PDF]
, 2017 In recent decades, a great deal of effort has been made to develop solutions to reduce destructive damage and casualties due to blast loads and impacts, also in light of a major protection of the built heritage against terrorist attacks.

Dynamic Response of Unreinforced Masonry Building
Journal of the Earthquake Engineering Society of Korea, 2004 The seismic behavior of a 1/3-scale model of a two-story unreinforced masonry (URM) structure typically used in constructing low-rise residential buildings in Korea is studied through a shaking table test. The purposes of this study are to investigate seismic behavior and damage patterns of the URM structure that was not engineered against seismic ...

Seismic vulnerability of existing masonry buildings: Nonlinear parametric analysis [PDF]
, 2015 Existing masonry structures are usually associated to a high seismic vulnerability, mainly due to the properties of the materials, weak connections between floors and load-bearing walls, high mass of the masonry walls and flexibility of the floors.
