Masonry is among the most widely used construction materials around the world.
Contemporary masonry buildings are primarily designed to comply with prescriptive building …

This study aimed to investigate the efficiency of shotcrete retrofitting method for seismic
rehabilitation of conventional unreinforced and confined masonry walls. In this regard, six …

The structural behavior of fully grouted reinforced concrete masonry (RM) walls subjected to
either pure in-plane (IP) or pure out-of-plane (OOP) loading has been thoroughly examined …

Damage surveys from past flash flood events show that the combined hydrodynamic
impulsive loading and the subsequent hydrostatic loading due to rising water levels caused …

Layered shell modelling is an effective tool for the efficient simulation of two-dimensional
structural members. As machine learning (ML) provides a novel alternative for the …

Although multiple experimental investigations have been performed to characterize the
shearing behavior of confined masonry walls that are reinforced with horizontal steel bars …

The seismic behaviour of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings is frequently modelled
using macroelements, in the framework of an equivalent‐frame schematisation of the walls …

Stiffness degradation Confined masonry wall (CMW) systems provide better capacity to
withstand lateral loads than bare frame systems without infill walls; this includes …

Reinforcement has high requirements in terms of efficiency, and rapid reinforcement
reduces the impact on people's travel. A masonry structure is a relatively common structural …

Four existing design guidelines based on the virtual work method have been compared to
predict the out-of-plane (OOP) bending capacities of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls to …
