Dynamic response of a damaging masonry wall [PDF]
, 2017 A nonlocal damage-plastic model is adopted to describe the nonlinear structural response of masonry structures. The model, based on a macromechanical approach, accounts for strength and stiffness degradation with hysteretic dissipation typically ...

Structural Response of Unreinforced Masonry Walls [PDF]
Journal of Civil Engineering and Architecture, 2016 Historical buildings located in seismic regions have URM (unreinforced masonry) walls of considerable width as their main structure. In order to study the structural response of such type of masonry, it is necessary to know its mechanical and elastic characteristics. For such purpose, it is generally necessary to perform destructive and non-destructive

Finite element nonlinear analysis of high-rise unreinforced masonry building
Latin American Journal of Solids and StructuresA simple efficient algorithm based on compressive diagonal strength of unreinforced masonry walls is presented to determine capacity curve of unreinforced masonry building. The compressive strength is calculated based on a new close form solution.

Assessment of Selected Models for FRP-Retrofitted URM Walls under In-Plane Loads
Buildings, 2021 One way to improve a structure’s total load-bearing capacity during an earthquake is to apply fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) to unreinforced walls. The study discusses the use of FRP to strengthen unreinforced masonry (URM) structures.

Out-of-plane dynamic response of a tuff masonry wall. Shaking table testing and numerical simulation [PDF]
, 2017 The out-of-plane dynamic response of a masonry element is investigated, both experimentally and numerically. The results of shaking table tests on a tuff masonry wall, subjected to harmonic acceleration histories, are presented.
