Minimum energy strategies for the in-plane behaviour of masonry
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2020 Unreinforced masonry is the most diffused construction material in the major part of historical centers in Europe. In a building subjected to earthquake forces the contribution of in-plane shear resistance of the masonry walls is a determinant factor for

A multi-level interface model for damaged masonry [PDF]
, 2013 The aim of the present work is to propose a new micro-mechanical model in the context of the deductive approach used to derive interface models. This model, based on a previous study introduced previously by A. Rekik and F.

Seismic Evaluation and Strengthening of an Existing Masonry Building in Sarajevo, B&H
Buildings, 2019 A significant number of old unreinforced load-bearing masonry (URM) buildings exist in many countries worldwide, but especially in Europe. In particular, Bosnia and Herzegovina has an important stock of masonry buildings constructed from the 1920s until ...

In-Plane Seismic Response of Unreinforced and Jacketed Masonry Walls
Buildings, 2021 Low-rise residential and public masonry structures constitute a large portion of the building patrimony, yet they were erected during the massive reconstruction of Southeast Europe after World War II before any design rules existed in the engineering ...

Possibilities and comparison of structural component models for the seismic assessment of modern unreinforced masonry buildings [PDF]
, 2011 This paper addresses the possibilities of structural component models for the seismic assessment of masonry buildings using pushover analysis. The ultimate goal is to allow efficient design of new unreinforced masonry buildings in seismic areas ...
