ABSTRACT A two-step strategy for the mechanical analysis of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures, subjected to either in-or out-of-plane loading, is presented. At a first step, a semi …
This paper proposes a general equation to assess the crack inclination upper threshold when non-periodic textures characterise masonry walls. The proposed formulation …
In the wake of recent strong earthquakes in Croatia, there is a need for a detailed and more comprehensive post-earthquake damage assessment. Given that masonry structures are …
