Masonry is a brittle anisotropic material that exhibits distinct directional properties because
the mortar joints act as planes of weakness. To define failure under biaxial stress, a 3D …

In the last decades, a plethora of advanced computational models and techniques have
been proposed on the modeling, assessment and design of masonry structures. The …

During operation, buildings and structures are exposed to the effects of various aggressive
environments, both natural and man-made, leading to a change in the initial properties of …

The effects of seismic actions on reinforced concrete (RC) structures are strongly influenced
by the dynamic behavior of their materials. It is crucial to find a simple definition of the …

This paper describes a numerical modelling exercise employed to understand the
propagation of cracks in masonry walls under a time varying thermal load in an overlying …

Masonry infilled wall panels are commonly used as internal partitions or external curtain
walls within building frames. These infill panels are generally treated as non-structural …
