Masonry is a dominant material in historic buildings of architectural heritage. The
investigation of masonry structures faces an issue of building a numerical model in …

Combining eco-sustainability and technological efficiency is one of the “hot” topics in the
current construction and architectural sectors. In this work, recycled tire rubber aggregates …

In this paper, the effect of brick arrangement on structural behaviour of Persian brick
masonry barrel vaults has been studied by the micro-modelling method using non-linear …

Pointed masonry barrel vaults are widely used in classical historic structures, such as
cathedrals and aqueducts, and they are very sensitive to differential settlement. These vaults …

In this paper, the performance of Persian skewed brick masonry arch bridges under uniform
and line loads has been investigated. Three types of semi-circular, pointed and four-centred …

In this paper, the best geometrical shapes of Persian brick masonry single-shell domes
under uniform pressure have been obtained and then the failure concentrated load has …

In this paper, the structural behaviour of Persian brick masonry groined quadripartite,
sexpartite and octopartite vaults is studied. Three different spans, three different pier heights …

Arches are a fundamental feature of traditional Persian architecture. In Iran, arched
structures have been used for centuries to cover expansive areas. They are typically made …

The sympathetic restoration and conservation of built cultural heritage play a significant role
in the management and preparedness for future climate scenarios by facilitating adaptive …

This study investigated the effect of skew angle on the failure load and structural behavior of
Persian brick masonry barrel vaults using experimental and numerical methods. To this end …
