This paper presents an efficient hybrid continuum-discrete macro-modelling strategy with an
enhanced multiscale calibration procedure for realistic simulations of brick/block-masonry …

The structural response of masonry arches is strongly dominated by the arch geometry, the
stone block dimensions and the interaction with backfill material or surrounding walls. Due …

General stability and failure behaviors of masonry domes under static loads have been
investigated extensively in literature. However, a few studies have been done on the seismic …

In this study, the effects of different strengthening methods that can be applied for
earthquake-damaged historical masonry structures on structural performance were …

ABSTRACT A principal reason of damage in historic masonry vaults consists in relative
displacements of the vaults' abutments. Excluding the case of seismic-induced damage …
