In this paper, a dataset collecting the results of in-plane cyclic tests on unreinforced masonry
piers, carried out within different research projects, is presented. The dataset includes brick …

The current research presents a novel and sustainable load-bearing system utilizing cellular
lightweight concrete block masonry walls. These blocks, known for their eco-friendly …

A research project on the displacement capacity of contemporary unreinforced masonry
(URM) walls is underway at the Institute of Structural Engineering of ETH Zurich. The …

This study examines the in-plane cyclic response of historic masonry elements using a micro
modelling approach that incorporates damage-plasticity and surface-based cohesive …

Interlocking dry stacked masonry is an emerging building material and has a project wining
future due to its sustainable and affordable housing aspects. The aim of this research work is …

In this study, a practical seismic retrofit technique was developed for unreinforced masonry
(URM) walls using precast panels of fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (FRCC). A …

This paper introduces a novel methodology for identifying the post-earthquake damage
states of unreinforced masonry walls using visual damage features. Current guidelines …

This paper presents an experimental investigation into the structural and material response
of ambient-dry and wet clay-brick/lime-mortar masonry elements. In addition to cyclic tests …

The aim of this research study is to experimentally investigate the effectiveness of
ferrocement overlay on the seismic capacity of damaged mortarless dry stacked masonry …

Malawi is located within the southern branch of the active East African Rift System, where
earthquakes of moment magnitude (M w) 7.0 or greater can occur along major faults. The …
