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 …

Previous test data on unreinforced masonry walls focused on the global response of the
wall. A new data set (; DOI: 10.5281/zenodo. 8443) on six wall tests, which is publicly …

Full-scale testing of large unreinforced masonry walls subjected to in-plane static-cyclic
loading is underway at ETH Zurich. During testing the measurements included all applied …

A wide number of experimental studies conducted in latest years pointed out the high
influence of the mechanical properties of masonry units and mortar bed joints on lateral …

Within a research project on the deformation capacity of in-plane loaded unreinforced
masonry structures, 10 tests were performed on full-scale large walls subjected to in-plane …

Research on infilled reinforced concrete frames is fundamental for the vulnerability
assessment of existing buildings. The analysis of the interaction between infill and frame is …

Lateral in-plane response plays crucial role in seismic behavior of masonry structures. The
aim of this article is to experimentally investigate the effects of vertical stresses and flanges …

Solid and perforated brickwork is widely used in construction, both in structural and non-
structural elements (eg bearing or infill walls, facades, etc.). Masonry elements (especially …

As part of the search for a seismic isolator for low-rise buildings, this paper proposes a
marble-graphite slide seismic isolation system composed of marble-graphite slides, an …

One of the most challenging and still not satisfactorily solved issues in the design of
structural masonry is the determination of the stiffness of shear walls. Determining the …
