[HTML][HTML] Discontinuum models for the structural and seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry structures: a critical appraisal

D Malomo, B Pulatsu - Structures, 2024 - Elsevier
In the last few decades, discontinuum (or discrete, discontinuous) numerical modelling
strategies–ie those capable of representing the motion of multiple, intersecting …

Effect of in-plane damage on the out-of-plane mechanical performance of infill walls with recycled concrete blocks

Y Yang, J Xue, Z Luo, L Gao - Archives of Civil and Mechanical …, 2023 - Springer
Abstract Out-of-plane (OOP) damage is one of the main failure modes for infill walls in
frames during earthquakes, which can result in significant economic losses, injuries, and …

Macro-modelling method for the in-plane behaviour of the damped masonry infill wall in a frame structure

Z Chen, Y Zhou, W Lie, X Fang - Journal of Building Engineering, 2023 - Elsevier
The damped masonry infill wall (DMIW) has been experimentally validated to have the
ability to ameliorate the seismic problem caused by the diagonal action of the traditional …

Vertical spanning wall elastically restrained at the top: validation and parametric dynamic analysis

G Destro Bisol, S Prajapati, L Sorrentino… - Bulletin of Earthquake …, 2024 - Springer
In unreinforced masonry structures, among the most dangerous events that can occur during
earthquakes are the out-of-plane mechanisms. This type of response significantly changes if …
