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

As a revolutionary technology, terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) is attracting increasing
interest in the fields of architecture, engineering and construction (AEC), with outstanding …

To alleviate the consequential influences of earthquakes, many seismic performance
evaluation methods have been developed over the past century. Fragility assessment is an …

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 damage occurred due to past earthquakes highlighted that the seismic behavior of
historic masonry structures characterized by an aggregation of units with an own seismic …

In this paper, numerical insights on the seismic behavior of a non-isolated historical masonry
tower are presented and discussed. The tower under study is the main tower of the fortress …

This work aims at proposing a novel procedure for the seismic assessment of historic
masonry structures which is computationally efficient and does not rely on destructive …

This paper presents a vibration‐based model updating procedure for historical masonry
structures which have suffered severe damage due to seismic events. This allows gathering …

ABSTRACT A principal reason of damage in historic masonry vaults consists in relative
displacements of the vaults' abutments. Excluding the case of seismic-induced damage …

The seismic response and strengthening of two complex monumental masonry churches
located in Northern Italy have been investigated through an advanced macro-modelling FE …
