Although the issue of the out-of-plane response of unreinforced masonry structures under
earthquake excitation is well known with consensus among the research community, this …

The evaluation of damage mechanism and the failure of dry-stone masonry structures
subjected to seismic load is one of the most important aspects of seismic assessment of …

Abstract Classical Finite-Element and Discrete-Element strategies are expensive to carry
when analysing masonry structures in the inelastic range, under a seismic excitation, and …

Shaking table tests were conducted on four full-scale single-story structures to investigate
the out-of-plane behavior of unreinforced masonry (URM) panels in RC frames. Specimens …

In this paper, a computational homogenization technique for thin‐structured sheets is
proposed, based on the computational homogenization concepts for first‐and second‐order …

The present paper deals with the problem of the determination of the in-plane behavior of
masonry material. The masonry is considered as a composite material composed by a …

Masonry structures constitute a large portion of the built heritage around the world, from the
past until today. There-fore, understanding their structural behavior is crucial for preserving …

In the present paper, a multiscale analysis of periodic masonry walls is developed. In
particular, a micromechanical analysis is presented for the unit cell, introducing nonlinear …

This is the first part of a two-part paper dedicated to a new plate theory for out-of-plane
loaded thick plates where the static unknowns are those of the Kirchhoff–Love theory (3 in …

This paper explains how to derive numerically the mechanical characteristics of masonry
from the mechanical properties of the constituents using the homogenisation technique. So …
