In the history of our civilization, masonry structures date back thousands of years.
Considering the different types, geometries, and arrangements of masonry components, as …

Masonry prisms have been widely used in research and quality control of masonry
structures, as they are simplified models that can represent the interaction between different …

In this study, comprehensive investigations were conducted on the structural behavior of
masonry shear walls considering both aspect ratios and the axial forces. A reliable and …

This article discusses the significance of confined masonry (CM) structures in terms of their
remarkable seismic performance in past earthquake events. However, the variability of CM …

Geopolymer concrete is preferred over OPC due to its use of energy waste such as fly ash,
making it more sustainable and energy-efficient. However, limited research has been done …

This paper presents a multi-level experimental and analytical investigation on the
mechanical performance of TRM composites used for strengthening existing masonry …

Confined Masonry (CM) buildings have been embraced in many countries due to simple
construction methodology, affordability, and effectiveness in resisting the seismic loads …

Seismic design codes for confined masonry (CM) buildings are few; therefore, in many
places these buildings are generally designed and constructed using simplified guidelines …

House self-construction and self-management are very common in different cities in Peru,
which is the case in several areas in the district of San Miguel (Puno). This is due to the lack …

When a seismic load is applied horizontally or laterally on unreinforced masonry walls
(URM), the walls behave in two different ways, viz., in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OoP) …
