When a seismic load is applied horizontally or laterally on unreinforced masonry walls
(URM), the walls behave in two different ways, viz., in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OoP) …

Recently developed Machine Learning (ML) interpretability techniques have the potential to
explain how predictors influence the dependent variable in high-dimensional and non-linear …

This paper presents detailed experimental and analytical investigations into the influence of
textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) strengthening on the in-plane and out-of-plane response of …

The brittle failure of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls when subjected to in-plane loads
present low shear strength remains a critical issue. The investigation presented in this paper …

The presented study provides an efficient and reliable tool for rapid shear capacity
estimation of TRM-strengthened unreinforced masonry walls. For this purpose, a data-driven …

This paper investigates the performance of flax textile–reinforced mortars (FTRM) as a
retrofitting solution for unreinforced masonry. Six medium-scale walls were subjected to in …

The combined seismic and energy retrofit of existing aged buildings represents a topic of
importance for the building stock. The current study investigates the out-of-plane …

The study is part of an experimental program on full-scale Un-Reinforced Masonry (URM)
wall panels strengthened with Textile reinforced mortars (TRM). Eight brick walls (two with …

This paper studies the response of unreinforced masonry (URM) members made of
hydraulic lime mortar and fired clay bricks, commonly found in heritage structures …

Structural walls made of solid brick masonry have been used for centuries in old buildings,
which are vulnerable to earthquakes. Reinforcing this type of walls may increase the overall …
