The assessment of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls often involves experimental
characterisation of their in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OOP) failure. While IP and OOP …

This paper aims to evaluate the ability of the Discrete Element Method (DEM) to accurately
predict the mechanical behavior of modern brickwork and concrete block masonry wall …

Structural retrofitting is carried out as an economical alternative to demolishing and
rebuilding existing masonry structures. Retrofitting is provided to offer structural upgrade and …

For masonry structures, due to their heterogeneity and the complexity of the interface's
behaviour between the blocks and mortar, the discrete element method (DEM) seems to be …

This research is conducted to gauge the efficiency of Discrete Element Method (DEM) to
reproduce the behaviour of masonry walls submitted to in plane or membrane loading, and …

The out-of-plane performances of brick masonry panels with different retrofitting patterns
using glass fibre reinforced polymers (GFRP) have been studied under three-point loading …

This paper provides an overview of the Literature on the behaviour of historic masonry
elements and building models. The purpose of this paper is to identify the main parameters …

The brick infill walls cease to contribute to the lateral strength and stiffness of a structure as
soon as they fail in a brittle manner in the early stages of an earthquake. Recent studies …

Retrofit of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings is continually attracting the interest of
masonry professionals. This is because there are enormous URM building stocks in different …

Cette contribution, en s' appuyant sur expérimentation et modélisation numérique, vise à
une meilleure compréhension du comportement de structures en maçonnerie. Nous traitons …
