Digital image correlation (DIC) is an optical technique used to measure surface
displacements and strains in materials and structures. This technique has demonstrated …

The analysis of crack patterns and crack growth is one of the most important steps in the
assessment of structural damage in historical masonry. In a search for integrated and …

In recent years, gas extraction in the northern part of the Netherlands has been causing low-
magnitude, induced, shallow earthquakes. Besides safety, the prediction and evaluation of …

Under seismic actions, stone masonry buildings are prone to damage. To assess the
severity of damaged masonry buildings and their failure modes, engineers connect these …

In the experimental assessment of the in-plane behaviour of unreinforced masonry (URM)
walls containing openings, accurate measurement of the deformations occurring in the pier …

This article presents an experimental study on the mechanical characterization of three
different types of masonry: burnt clay bricks, fly ash bricks, and autoclaved aerated concrete …

This article presents an experimental study on cyclic testing of full-scale reinforced concrete
(RC) frames designed for modern codes with three different masonry infills: burnt clay brick …

Due to their cost, high-end commercial 3D-DIC (digital image correlation) systems are still
inaccessible for many laboratories or small factories interested in lab testing materials …

The structural behavior of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) core Reinforced Concrete Sandwich
Panels (RCSP) under axial and in-plane shear loading is studied, experimentally. An …

This paper presents the findings of an experimental study focused on the behaviour of
masonry structures subjected to uniaxial loading-unloading compression. The study's …
