Masonry structures are usually much vulnerable to seismic excitations and their behavior
depends on numerous factors. The focus of this research is the determination of masonry …

This study aims to improve our current understanding of the seismic assessment of load-
bearing unreinforced masonry (URM) systems by proposing a probabilistic computational …

Masonry is among the most widely used construction materials around the world.
Contemporary masonry buildings are primarily designed to comply with prescriptive building …

In this study, comprehensive investigations were conducted on the structural behavior of
masonry shear walls considering both aspect ratios and the axial forces. A reliable and …

This study examines the in-plane cyclic response of historic masonry elements using a micro
modelling approach that incorporates damage-plasticity and surface-based cohesive …

Drift-based performance limits are commonly used in seismic performance assessment.
However, many studies have indicated substantial considerations for the displacement …

The behavior of masonry walls strengthened with Textile Reinforced Mortars (TRM) is a topic
that has received considerable attention from researchers in recent years. However, the …

Interlocking brick masonry has gained much attention due to its high construction efficiency
and low labour skill requirement. Most designs of interlocking bricks only use interlocking …

An analytical procedure based on the SLaMA (Simplified Lateral Mechanism Analysis)
method is proposed for the seismic vulnerability assessment of UnReinforced Masonry …

This study proposes mathematical models for the prediction of the in-plane lateral load
capacity of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls considering potential failure modes and the …
