This article deals with the mechanical interpretation of the in-situ diagonal compression test
on masonry panels, through a non-linear numerical modeling, and proposes a methodology …

In-plane strength of masonry walls is affected by the resistant mechanisms activated in the
walls, ie, related to flexural or shear behavior. The latter one can occur in the walls …

Basalt textile-reinforced mortar (BTRM) composites have shown to be a promising technique
for the reinforcement of masonry systems, but their use as in-plane shear reinforcement of …

Brought to light by the 1997 Umbria-Marche (Italy) earthquake for the first time, the theme of
damage patterns of masonry buildings with structural interventions became urgent again in …

The presented study is part of ongoing experimental program on Un-Reinforced Masonry
(URM) walls strengthened with Textile reinforced mortars (TRM). Ten walls were tested …

The prediction of masonry shear strength, by direct way, requires appropriate experimental
tests on triplets, in line with standard EN 1052-3, or diagonal compression tests on panels …

Approach to safety evaluations issued by modern codes is clearly based on quantitative
assessment of performances. As a consequence, validated mechanical parameters and …

This paper presents an experimental study of the structural behaviour of masonry walls
retrofitted with Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) to improve their in-plane shear strength and …

Rubble stone masonry walls were widely used in traditional buildings in Mediterranean
countries. However, the mechanical behaviour of those walls is not completely characterized …

The modulus of elasticity of masonry is one of the main parameters used both in the
assessment of the existing structures and in the design of new ones. The current practice in …
