Unreinforced masonry (URM) is a construction of brick or concrete block unit that is joined
together using mortar, without steel reinforcement. Because of the heterogeneous nature …

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 …

To address the structural problems caused by eccentric loads in unreinforced masonry,
three different types of masonry were prepared based on clay bricks bonded with a natural …

This paper analyses the accuracy of a selection of expressions currently available to
estimate the in-plane shear strength of reinforced masonry (RM) walls, including those …

Bonded brickwork walls of large thickness constructed with double or triple bricks are
common in loadbearing historical masonry structures in many regions which require …

The article presents a research on flexural behaviour of hollow monolithic reinforced
concrete slabs. It focuses on the results of experimental investigation into full-size hollow …

Estimating the load-bearing capacity of brick masonry walls is a fundamental aspect of the
design or retrofitting of this type of structures. This paper presents a new ANN-based …

In last decades, several computational strategies have been proposed for masonry
structures, which form a large fraction of worldwide built heritage. In this study, a …

Abstract The notorious October-31-2002 earthquake threatened the collapse of the church of
San Giuliano di Puglia (Campobasso, Italy). This paper describes the main points of the …

The current state of damage of a two-story unreinforced masonry historic building in
Santiago de Chile is mainly due to the occurrence of the earthquakes of March 3, 1985 (Mw …
