Masonry structures, although classically suitable to withstand gravitational loads, are
sensibly vulnerable if subjected to extraordinary actions such as earthquakes, exhibiting …

Since the late 1970s, nonlinear static analysis have had an increasing use in the seismic
assessment of existing unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. Different modelling …

The paper addresses the problems of evaluation of strength, deformability, and energy
dissipation capacity of unreinforced brick masonry walls, within the context of seismic …

The macroelement technique for modelling the nonlinear response of masonry panels is
particularly efficient and suitable for the analysis of the seismic behaviour of complex walls …

In this paper, a novel 3D detailed micro-model to analyse the mechanical response of
masonry panels under in-plane and out-of-plane loading conditions is proposed. The …

The evaluation of the nonlinear seismic response of masonry buildings represents a subject
of considerable importance whose resolution is nowadays a main research topic in …

In this study, a novel computational modeling strategy is proposed to estimate the lateral
load capacity and behavior of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures. All commonly noted …

The response of brick masonry walls to in‐plane horizontal cyclic loads analogous to those
induced during seismic events is analysed by applying constitutive models which take into …

The behavior of masonry-infilled reinforced concrete frames under cyclic lateral loading is
complicated because a number of different failure mechanisms can be induced by the frame …

The present paper addresses the seismic performance of a half-scale two-story unreinforced
masonry (URM) building with structural irregularity in plan and in elevation. The main …
