This paper performed a systematic review of the various machine learning (ML) techniques
applied to assess the health condition of heritage buildings. More robust predictive models …

Although widespread in civil engineering construction, brick masonry walls usually designed
to resist only gravity loads are known to be vulnerable structural elements with respect to …

Masonry is a building material that has been used in the last 10.000 years and remains
competitive today for the building industry. The compressive strength of masonry is used in …

In this paper, a simplified micro-model approach utilising a combination of plasticity-based
constitutive models and the extended finite element method (XFEM) is proposed. The …

Lack of providing sustainable solutions towards resource efficiency through product-life
extension, redistribution, remanufacturing, recycling, as well as re-engineering of wastes to …

In this paper, a novel 3D detailed micro-model to analyse the mechanical response of
masonry panels under in-plane and out-of-plane loading conditions is proposed. The …

This paper presents the findings of an experimental research program that was conducted to
study the mechanical properties of a natural fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) which is made …

Green construction materials have emerged as viable options to cope with the sustainability
challenges set by the global communities without compromising the technical merits. Agro …

The compressive strength of masonry must be determined to design masonry constructions.
Although the compressive strength of masonry mostly depends on the compressive strength …

A methodology aiming to predict the vulnerability of masonry structures under seismic action
is presented herein. Masonry structures, among which many are cultural heritage assets …
