Masonry is a brittle anisotropic material that exhibits distinct directional properties because the mortar joints act as planes of weakness. To define failure under biaxial stress, a 3D …
This study investigates the effect of the variation of the properties of unreinforced brick masonry walls, such as aspect ratio, prism strength, and axial load ratio, on determining the …

This study aims to develop an innovative image-based 3D modeling-to-simulation framework that can efficiently assess the hazard vulnerability of single-wythe masonry …
Under seismic actions, stone masonry buildings are prone to damage. To assess the severity of damaged masonry buildings and their failure modes, engineers connect these …
In the last decades, a plethora of advanced computational models and techniques have been proposed on the modeling, assessment and design of masonry structures. The …
