In-plane strength of masonry walls is affected by the resistant mechanisms activated in the
walls, ie, related to flexural or shear behavior. The latter one can occur in the walls …

The opportunities provided by the use of Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRPs) composites for
the shear strengthening of tuff masonry structures were assessed on full-scale panels …

The influence of four different lateral displacement patterns used for experimental simulation
of seismic behavior of masonry walls has been studied. Thirty-two equal reinforced-masonry …

The seismic resistance of story-height reinforced masonry shear walls has been evaluated
experimentally to examine the influence of the applied axial stress and the amount of vertical …

The type of horizontal reinforcement can play a major role in the shear response of partially
grouted (PG) masonry walls, particularly in the damage pattern and the post-peak behavior …

As a result of experimental and analytical research in seismic behaviour of masonry
structures in the last few decades, new methods for seismic resistance analysis and design …

Constructions built with partially grouted reinforced masonry (PG-RM) shear walls are
common in several countries, and consequently, different construction solutions can be …

As seen during numerous earthquakes, confined masonry exhibited a reliable anti-seismic
response due to a number of factors. To understand the effect of these factors, a case study …

Confined masonry (CM) is a construction system that consists of loadbearing masonry wall
panels enclosed by vertical and horizontal reinforced concrete confining elements. The …

Partially grouted reinforced masonry (PG-RM) shear walls of hollow concrete blocks (HCB)
have been an object of study during the last years. The non-constant cross-section of this …
