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

The aim of this study was to model the mechanical behavior of interfaces in masonry
structures. In the first part, the characteristics of the materials and interfaces involved are …

A thermo-mechanical model is adopted in order to investigate the fire behaviour of clay
masonry walls. In this analysis, conductive, convective and radiative thermal transfers are …

In this paper an interface model accounting for roughness and micro-cracks is presented
and applied to masonry-like structures. The model is consistently derived by coupling a …

This study deals with the damage modeling of quasi-brittle interfaces such as the
mortar/brick interfaces present in masonry walls. For this purpose, a model is developed …

Par définition la maçonnerie est l'art qui consiste à ranger des pierres avec du mortier ou
avec une autre liaison. Elle est également définis comme étant une construction dans …

This paper presents an experimental as well as a numerical analysis of the in-plane shear
behaviour of hollow, $870 {\times} 840 {\times} 100mm $ masonry walls, externally …

The shear characteristic of mortar joint is the most important factor which decides the
behavior of masonry structures subjected to lateral in-plane loading. This article focuses on …

This paper contains a surprisingly large amount of material and indeed can serve as an
introduction to some of ideas and methods of singular perturbation theory. The work done in …

Fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs) and textile-reinforced concretes (TRCs) are becoming
increasingly common solutions for strengthening masonry walls. This study focuses on …
