Shear Strengthening of Stone Masonry Walls Using Textile-Reinforced Sarooj Mortar

Buildings
Most historical buildings and structures in Oman were built using unreinforced stone masonry. These structures have deteriorated due to the aging of materials, environmental degradation, and lack of maintenance.

Modern masonry structures and earthquakes : reinforced or unreinforced? [PDF]

, 2013
The evolution of structural masonry is briefly reviewed, from old thrust line behavior to modern global behavior using shear walls. For modern structural masonry, the use of unreinforced, confined and reinforced masonry is addressed in seismic areas.

Rapid assessment of seismic vulnerability of historic masonry structures through fragility curves approach and national database data

Developments in the Built Environment, 2023
The research focuses on shared built heritage, which forms one of the most vulnerable parts of the building stock in historic centres. To prevent severe damage to this building category and to aid decision-making, the paper presents a rapid seismic ...

Fragility curves and loss estimation for traditional timber-framed masonry buildings in Lefkas, Greece [PDF]

, 2015
The 2003 earthquake in the Greek island of Lefkas, has revived the interest for the local anti-seismic technique based on the use of timber-framed masonry, whose adequate performance during the earthquake revealed the merits of this rather sophisticated,
