In the current research, a newly developed ensemble intelligent predictive model called
Bagging Regression (BGR) is proposed to predict the compressive strength of a hollow …

This paper aims to assess the strength of a 100+ year old masonry arch bridges in Australia
that are currently in operation and routinely subjected to train loadings. Towards this end, 45 …

This paper presents the results of an experimental programme about the evaluation of the
size effect on the compressive behaviour of cylindrical samples of existing masonry. The …

The present work aims at providing insights on the material characterization of multi-wythe
masonry infrastructure, in particular exploring a through-thickness effect of mechanical …

The paper presents the characteristics of damage of bricks in masonry structures of
significant historical value as a result of cyclic freezing and thawing. Based on extensive …

The crucial task of the diagnosis of an existing masonry structure is to assess the current
values of the mechanical parameters of the materials from which the structure was erected …

The investigation and analysis conducted after a catastrophe of a 19th-century masonry
structure are presented. During restoration work of a masonry building there was a sudden …

Identification of mechanical characteristics of the materials used in heritage constructions is
one of the most important steps in their seismic assessment, which may be determined …

Most of the historical and old building stock in Europe are constructed from masonry, when
brick, stones, or their combination are bound with traditional mortars. Rising damp, due to …

The article presents structural and technological problems resulting from the use of historical
floors in the process of planned renovation and modernization. In the three-story building …
