This chapter discusses the in-plane behaviour of masonry panels with different slenderness
ratios and distinct levels of compression load, subjected to shear loading, using advanced …

This study addresses the problem of evaluation of strength of masonry walls. In-plane
behavior of masonry panels has been studied under monotonic diagonal-compression and …

Unreinforced masonry construction is predominant in many urban areas world-wide. Many
of these constructions are vulnerable to earthquakes, which are the main cause of damage …

This paper deals with the numerical assessment of the influence of parameters such as pre-
compression level, aspect ratio, vertical and horizontal reinforcement ratios and boundary …

The behavior and failure mechanism of a masonry wall subject to in-plane shear depends
on several factors, such as the wall geometry, the boundary conditions, the acting stresses …

Masonry buildings represent a huge building stock. The need for preservation of masonry
structures may be due to various reasons: economic, heritage, etc. These buildings are often …

Unreinforced masonry structures are generally vulnerable to earthquake actions. Brittle
masonry walls are very stiff and attract considerable seismic forces which cannot be …

Masonry buildings represent a huge building stock. The need for preservation of masonry
structures may be due to various reasons: economic, heritage, etc. These buildings are often …

Estimation of shear strength and other mechanical characteristics of masonry wall panels
through experimental research is the most reliable analysis approach. However, considering …

The compressive and shear behavior of masonry is here studied both experimental-ly and
numerically. An experimental campaign has been carried out on 9 square-shaped one leaf …
