Masonry structures, although classically suitable to withstand gravitational loads, are
sensibly vulnerable if subjected to extraordinary actions such as earthquakes, exhibiting …

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

A high percentage of new and existing framed buildings (either in concrete or steel) are built
with unreinforced masonry infilled walls leading to the structural typology known as Infilled …

This study presents a new 3D multi-yield surfaces material model for masonry mortar joints,
which can be used with interface elements for finite element (FE) modeling of masonry …

Suitable numerical models of masonry structures are very important in their response
evaluation under various loading events. Masonry is a heterogeneous material, made of …

This study investigates the role of masonry infill walls in the responses and failure modes of
RC frames subjected to earthquake, by applying shaking table tests on two three-story, two …

Masonry infill walls (MIWs) are essential partition components that are often damaged
during earthquakes because of their brittle nature. As a result, innovative solutions are …

Today, there are a large number of masonry arch bridges in service within railway networks.
These old infrastructures have been designed for service loads in the past 100 years. Owing …

This paper presents a computational model for unreinforced masonry structures, where
softening plasticity describes the behavior of the mortar joints, while a brittle phase-field …

The use of fabric-reinforced cementitious mortar (FRCM) or steel-reinforced grout (SRG) is
now recognized to be effective in enhancing the axial capacity of masonry columns when …
