This study aims to improve our current understanding of the seismic assessment of load-
bearing unreinforced masonry (URM) systems by proposing a probabilistic computational …

This study investigates the effect of spatially varying material properties on the in-plane
seismic behaviour and capacity of an unreinforced pier-spandrel masonry system. The …

Damage prediction of existing buildings against natural events is a challenge for engineers.
Although several approaches have been proposed in the bibliography for damage …

The majority of architectural heritage consists of load-bearing masonry components made
up of stone units and relatively weak mortar joints, yielding potential weak planes for …

In this study, the in-plane structural behavior, capacity, and performance of dry-joint stone
