In this study, mix proportion parameters of expanded polystyrene (EPS) lightweight
aggregate concrete are analyzed by using Taguchi's approach. The density, compressive …

In this paper, a dataset collecting the results of in-plane cyclic tests on unreinforced masonry
piers, carried out within different research projects, is presented. The dataset includes brick …

Explosions are continually occurring in many parts of the world endangering human lives
and seriously affecting the health of infrastructures and facilities. Low-rise buildings having a …

The mechanical parameters (shear strength of bed joints) derived from triplet tests can
apparently be significantly different from those obtained through the so called “shove test” …

Openings can have a significant effect on the seismic response of partially grouted
reinforced masonry (PG-RM) walls. Despite this, very few investigations have been carried …

The paper presents different finite element modelling approaches, developed with a
commercial software, for the analysis of the behaviour of unreinforced and FRP …

The masonry tensile strength and shear modulus play a key role in the definition of the shear
capacity of masonry structures. These properties are often determined experimentally by …

Aiming towards a better understanding of the structural response presented by multi-
perforated clay brick masonry, this paper presents the results of an experimental program …

A considerable number of numerical and experimental studies, carried out to-date to
investigate the behaviour of masonry walls under seismic loading, have considered the in …

Thin layers of mortar reinforced with steel fibers can be applied on one or both sides of
bearing walls as an effective seismic strengthening of existing masonry buildings. To assess …
