Probabilistic Simulation of Crack Propagation in Masonry Walls Using a Grain‐Based Energy Accumulation Model

open access: yesce/papers, Volume 8, Issue 3-4, Page 308-315, September 2025.
Abstract Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings constitute an important portion of the European building stock, where metal injection anchors are widely utilized for seismic retrofitting. While crack propagation in URM walls is extensively studied, the interaction between these cracks and structural anchors remains an underexplored area of research. This

Semi Interlocking Masonry as Infill Wall System for Earthquake Resistant Buildings: A Review

open access: yesThe Journal of Engineering Research, 2016
Masonry is one of the most popular building materials. It has many excellent material properties and proven durability. Over time, masonry structures have evolved from massive walls, which work mainly through compression, to more slender walls, which ...

An experimental investigation of retro-reinforced clay brick arches

open access: yes, 2010
This paper describes the laboratory testing of eight 2.95m span segmental profile clay brick arches. Seven of the arches were strengthened with longitudinal intrados (soffit) reinforcement; the eighth was left unreinforced as an experimental control ...

First-order approximation towards empirical seismic vulnerability assessment of low-cost unreinforced masonry buildings in South Africa

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
The 5 August 2014 Orkney earthquake in South Africa caused significant damage to low-cost unreinforced masonry buildings. After the earthquake, post-earthquake surveys were conducted to assess damage and deduce the intensity experienced by these ...
