In this paper, a condition assessment of masonry pillars is presented. Non-destructive tests
were performed on an intact pillar as well as three pillars with internal inclusions in the form …

To further explore the empirical seismic capacity of brick and wood (BW) structures and the
vulnerability characteristics of the multiple seismic intensity regions, a vulnerability analysis …

An experimental investigation on the accuracy of dynamically determined tensile force in tie-
rods by applying the interferometric radar technique was performed. Tie-rods were used in …

In this paper, the effect of different parameters on the structural behaviour of scaled brick
masonry arches is studied by conducting experimental tests and numerical analysis using …

The effectiveness of tie-rods is widely stressed in past earthquakes and they are still used
today as reinforcement intervention, given that their use is a low-invasive and low-expensive …

This paper will present the results of an experimental campaign aimed to study the structural
behavior of solid clay brick masonry arch models strengthened at the intrados with Fiber …

This study investigated the effect of skew angle on the failure load and structural behavior of
Persian brick masonry barrel vaults using experimental and numerical methods. To this end …

Masonry structures exhibit brittle behavior because they are made of materials that have low
tensile strength such as stone and brick. Fasteners called clamps made of wood or metal …

Arches are a fundamental feature of traditional Persian architecture. In Iran, arched
structures have been used for centuries to cover expansive areas. They are typically made …

Vaults are curvilinear cover systems that cover open spaces formed by the combination of
arches. The vaults, built using materials such as stone and brick, are used in historical …
