This paper focuses on the recent evolution of the utilization of stainless steel profiles for
repair and reinforcement of historic masonry structures, which are often subjected to …

The behavior of historical UnReinforced Masonry (URM) buildings subjected to earthquake
loading is usually governed by a complex interaction between the in-plane and out-of-plane …

This paper presents the results of an extensive set of material characterisation tests
performed on unreinforced clay brick masonry. The results of these experiments allow for the …

This paper develops a modelling strategy for the finite element analysis of perforated
(arched) unreinforced masonry walls subjected to in-plane shear loading. An experimental …

A combined experimental and numerical program was conducted to study the in-plane
shear behaviour of hollow concrete masonry panels containing reinforced grout cores. This …

A huge fraction of the worldwide built heritage consists of adobe masonry (AM) structures,
including cultural heritage sites protected by UNESCO and single countries. In Portugal, the …

The paper presents an experimental investigation on the tensile behavior of twisted
stainless-steel bars considering different parameters that could affect their performance …

The lack of effective connection between masonry walls is one of the most common reasons
leading to the activation of out-of-plane failure mechanisms in masonry buildings during …

The use of masonry materials in load-bearing walls has a history of centuries. Many efforts
have been made to overcome their poor structural strength; one such solution is the near …

In this paper, the structural behavior of masonry panels strengthened with a system made up
of composite fiber grids embedded in a cementitious matrix (FRCM) is presented. The non …
