This study presents the results of eight experimental tests on unreinforced masonry infills for
the assessment of their out-of-plane (OOP) response and of the effects on it of in-plane (IP) …

An experimental investigation on the flexural response of polymer cement mortar matrix
overlayed or inserted with carbon fibre or auxetic fabric layers subject to four levels of rates …

The study evaluates the compatibility relationship of plaster bonds with the substrate under
an accelerated aging environment for control and granite cutting waste (GCW) incorporated …

Although thin layer mortared (TLM) masonry has potential economic benefits over
conventional masonry construction, the lack of understanding on material and structural …

The results of an investigation of the probability of earthquake damage to nonstructural
unreinforced masonry (URM) components are presented. The components include …

Masonry buildings constructed along busy roads are vulnerable to vehicular impacts. As
most of these impacts are likely to occur at low velocity due to severe braking by drivers to …

The compressive and flexural strength of old and new clay bricks are investigated in this
paper. Total 52 specimens comprising of old bricks collected from four different building sites …

Because of simple construction process, high energy efficiency, significant fire resistance
and excellent sound isolation, masonry infilled reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures are …

When mortar is exposed to the marine environment, its mechanical properties can degrade
due to weathering by seawater spray and capillary rise. This paper investigates the …

Abstract Out-of-plane (OOP) damage is one of the main failure modes for infill walls in
frames during earthquakes, which can result in significant economic losses, injuries, and …
