Despite the fact that Iran is an earthquake prone country and most of its historical buildings
are made of brick masonry that is weak in tension, a large number of domical buildings have …

In this paper, the structural behavior of nine historical brick masonry minarets in Isfahan,
which were built in the eleventh and twelfth centuries AD, against weight, temperature, wind …

In this paper, the structural analysis of Persian brick masonry barrel vaults with hollow
spandrels (konu) with seven different arches of semi-circular, drop, ordinary and raised …

Abstract Introduction Masonry minarets in Old Cairo are highly susceptible to earthquake
damage, particularly those not designed or updated to withstand seismic loads. Therefore …

Slender masonry structures such as towers, minarets, chimneys, and Pagoda temples can
be characterized by their distinguished architectural characteristics, age of construction, and …

In this paper, the best geometrical shapes of Persian brick masonry single-shell domes
under uniform pressure have been obtained and then the failure concentrated load has …

In this paper, the performance of Persian skewed brick masonry arch bridges under uniform
and line loads has been investigated. Three types of semi-circular, pointed and four-centred …

This study investigated the effect of skew angle on the failure load and structural behavior of
Persian brick masonry barrel vaults using experimental and numerical methods. To this end …

Arches are a fundamental feature of traditional Persian architecture. In Iran, arched
structures have been used for centuries to cover expansive areas. They are typically made …
