This study aims to improve our current understanding of the seismic assessment of load-
bearing unreinforced masonry (URM) systems by proposing a probabilistic computational …

The Alhambra is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Granada, which is the area with
the highest seismic hazard in Spain. The present work focuses on the seismic safety …

Seismic structural assessment of masonry arch bridges is essential due to their cultural,
economic and strategic importance and vulnerability. A realistic and rigorous structural …

This study investigates the influence of the uncertainty in material properties on the in-plane
lateral behavior and capacity of stone masonry walls via a stochastic discontinuum analysis …

Undoubtedly, heritage buildings serve as essential embodiments of the cultural richness
and diversity of the world's states, and their conservation is of the utmost importance …

In this study, the in-plane structural behavior, capacity, and performance of dry-joint stone
masonry walls (DJ-SMWs) and the effects of the vertical stress level on these factors are …

In this study, lateral capacity and load-deflection behavior of unreinforced stone masonry
walls are analyzed based on the discrete element method considering the uncertainties in …

Seismic assessments of historical masonry buildings are affected by several sources of
epistemic uncertainty. These are mainly the material and the modelling parameters and the …

Research on irregular stone masonry walls is hampered by the lack of detailed geometrical
models of their internal micro-structure, ie the shape and size of each stone and its position …

Recently, Zagreb was struck by a strong earthquake. Damage throughout the city was
tremendous due to numerous aged and vulnerable masonry buildings. Many damaged …
