The scientific community is hardly working to propose reliable methodologies of analysis
and non-invasive technologies of investigation to assess the current state of conservation of …

Historic masonry buildings are characterised by uniqueness, which is intrinsically present in
their building techniques, morphological features, architectural decorations, artworks, etc …

Building a reliable finite element (FE) model of historic masonry structures is a difficult
undertaking due to the challenges in accurate representation of irregular geometry, complex …

Abstract Heritage buildings in Latin American countries possess high architectural value.
Studying these constructions under extreme loads, particularly earthquakes, requires …

Minarets are very slender structures with an old existence. The historical ones are made of
cut‐stone‐block masonry assembled in peripheral cylindrical wall with an interior helicoidal …

The protection of historical masonry mosques against earthquakes can be achieved by an
accurate assessment of nonlinear behavior, such as heavy damage and collapse. For this …

Masonry structures are one of the structures most affected by earthquakes. In addition, since
masonry structures constitute a large part of the building inventory, it is important to …

This paper presents the analytical modeling, modal testing, and finite-element model
updating for a two-span masonry arch bridge. An Ottoman masonry arch bridge built in the …

This paper investigates the effects of finite element model updating on nonlinear seismic
response of arch dam–reservoir–foundation systems. The highest arch dam in Turkey …

Minarets, which are tall and slender structures, are important elements of mosques. Seismic
performances of minarets can be strongly affected by the nonlinear dynamic soil-structure …
