In codes the drift capacity of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls is often estimated as a
function of the failure mode and the aspect ratio. The empirical relationships are based on …

This paper presents results of a part of the Croatian project “Seismic design of infilled
frames” and deals with masonry infilled steel frames. The behaviour of steel frames infilled …

Seismic behavior of masonry walls has been heavily investigated, especially by means of
laboratory experiments employing cyclic tests to determine the mechanical parameters and …

In this study, the in-plane structural behavior, capacity, and performance of dry-joint stone
masonry walls (DJ-SMWs) and the effects of the vertical stress level on these factors are …

In this study, lateral capacity and load-deflection behavior of unreinforced stone masonry
walls are analyzed based on the discrete element method considering the uncertainties in …

The uniaxial monotonic compressive behavior of tuff masonry has been studied by
laboratory tests carried out along the directions parallel and orthogonal to the mortar bed …

Seismic performance assessment is carried out for reinforced concrete structure built in low-
strength concrete lacking confining ties in beam-column joint. Shake-table tests were …

The modulus of elasticity of masonry is one of the main parameters used both in the
assessment of the existing structures and in the design of new ones. The current practice in …

Experimental small-scale modeling of clay brick masonry for behavior up to failure under
earthquake-type loads poses many challenges, such as manufacturing of small-scale bricks …

Masonry structures are the most prevalent type of buildings worldwide, and a significant
portion are situated in seismic-prone areas. Thus, detailed information regarding their …
