Masonry is an anisotropy structure due to the presence of different components within the
assembly. Although, the concepts of concrete modeling are applicable to fully grouted …

In the last two decades, several seismic retrofitting techniques for masonry structures have
been developed and practiced and fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) material has been …

As seen during numerous earthquakes, confined masonry exhibited a reliable anti-seismic
response due to a number of factors. To understand the effect of these factors, a case study …

Abstract On October 23 and November 9, 2011, two earthquakes struck the Van Province in
eastern Turkey. Masonry buildings in the region were severely damaged. This paper …

A macro-computational model is presented in this study for simulating the nonlinear static
behavior of masonry walls. The adopted strategy is based on modeling the nonlinear …

In this paper a parametric study of shear stressed masonry panels has been carried out both
by means of micro-and macro-finite element modelling. Within the framework of continuum …

The objective of this paper is to analytically establish the effects of bidirectional loading on
the response of reinforced masonry shear walls. To accomplish this, an efficient nonlinear …

This paper is focused on modeling of progressive failure in brick masonry. A mesoscale
approach is adopted, in which the structural behavior is examined at the level of …

This paper deals with the seismic behaviour of an unreinforced masonry chimney
representative of the large number of chimneys currently in existence in many European …

The main feature of the interlocking hollow block masonry is the replacement of mortar
layers commonly used in bonded masonry with interlocking keys (protrusions and grooves) …
