The present study aims to provide a comparative analysis between discontinuous models
(DM) and continuous models (CM) for the analysis of majestic masonry structures subjected …

The research aims to illustrate a vulnerability approach extended for the aggregate masonry
buildings belonging to an urban area of the city of Latronico (Basilicata Region). The area …

The protection of historical masonry mosques against earthquakes can be achieved by an
accurate assessment of nonlinear behavior, such as heavy damage and collapse. To this …

This paper aims to describe the observed damage and crack propagation in patrimonial
masonry buildings of Puebla and Morelos, Mexico due to both September 7 (M w= 8.2) and …

Recovering and preserving ancient churches is necessary to ensure the transmission of this
cultural heritage to the future generations. To this scope, it is necessary to evaluate their …

Historical minarets are culturally and architecturally significant structures, often susceptible
to substantial damage over time due to different load conditions. Therefore, the …

Masonry structures often exhibit poor seismic performance during earthquakes owing to
their low material strength, structural integrity, and ductility. To address the mechanism of in …

In this paper, an automatic block-by-block pattern generator is proposed for multi-leaf
nonperiodic masonries. The outcome is then directly employed in block-based …

Non-linear static analyses are amongst engineering community one of the most common
analysis approaches for the seismic assessment of existing buildings, due to a good trade …

Historical mosques are important cultural heritages that should be confidently transferred to
the future. These structures are damaged due to earthquakes. The minarets, domes and …
