This paper focuses on a structural reliability-based assessment of clay brick unreinforced
masonry (URM) walls subjected to uniformly distributed out-of-plane loads in one-way …

The flexural bond strength of unreinforced masonry (URM) is a key material property
affecting wall out-of-plane lateral load capacity. It is well known that the unit flexural bond …

The strength of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls subjected to one-way vertical bending
under out-of-plane loading (no pre-compression) is known to be affected by the tensile bond …

Past research has produced extensive information on the material properties of brickwork,
and found that random variations of the material and mechanical properties of brickwork …

The behaviour and failure mode of fully-grouted concrete blockwork masonry walls under
compression loading is of great importance in the design of masonry structures, which are …

Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings make up a significant portion of the built
environment, with hollow clay being the predominant choice for the units. The capacity of …

The research reported in this thesis focused on the experimental and numerical stochastic
assessment of unreinforced masonry (URM) veneer wall systems (that is, timber as a flexible …

This paper presents the results of an extensive set of material characterisation tests
performed on unreinforced clay brick masonry. The results of these experiments allow for the …

Spatial variability of material properties might significantly affect the structural performance
and reliability of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls. The paper develops a computational …

It has been shown that masonry material properties, in particular, unit flexural bond strength
(ft), vary significantly throughout masonry structures, despite the fact that often only one type …
