Numerical Simulation of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings with Timber Diaphragms
Buildings, 2021 Though flexible diaphragms play a role in the seismic behaviour of unreinforced masonry buildings, the effect of the connections between floors and walls is rarely discussed or explicitly modelled when simulating the response of such buildings.

Seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry façades from images using macroelement-based modeling [PDF]
Communications EngineeringDespite the variability of urban infrastructure, unreinforced masonry buildings remain globally prevalent. Constructed from brick, hollow concrete blocks, stone, or other masonry materials, these structures account for a significant proportion of ...

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 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 ...
