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.

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.

Prevalence of New Zealand’s unreinforced masonry buildings
Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2010 Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings remain New Zealand's most earthquake prone class of building. New Zealand URM buildings are classified into typologies, based on their general structural configuration. Seven typologies are presented, and their relative prevalence, age and locations are identified.

Challenges and perspectives for the protection of masonry structures in historic centers: the role of innovative materials and techniques [PDF]
, 2016 Lessons learned from natural events which caused severe damage to existing constructions have repeatedly shown the high vulnerability of historically important masonry, often worsened by inaccurate or dubious applications of modern or innovative ...

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.
