ABSTRACT A two-step strategy for the mechanical analysis of unreinforced masonry (URM)
structures, subjected to either in-or out-of-plane loading, is presented. At a first step, a semi …

ABSTRACT A digital tool is presented and made available for the rapid structural
assessment of historic masonry domes. It is especially suited for masonry domes that …

This paper presents numerical investigations using the mesoscale approach coupled with
the discrete macro-element approach for masonry structures, ie, each macro-element …

The paper presents an advanced seismic assessment of four masonry bell towers located in
Northern Italy based on detailed 3D FE models on which elastic parameters were previously …

Abstract Classical Finite-Element and Discrete-Element strategies are expensive to carry
when analysing masonry structures in the inelastic range, under a seismic excitation, and …

The time-frequency analysis method based on Hilbert-Huang transform is proposed and
used to the seismic response analysis of accumulation landslide reinforced by pile-plate …

The present work aims to expand the knowledge of the behaviour of masonry corners, which
are capital to obtain an integral seismic response in masonry buildings. In particular, the …

On the slopes of some Andean cities, the population is at high seismic risk due to their
informal homes, built without technical advice, based on non-compacted backfill, and …

This study contributes to the seismic structural failure analysis of the main pyramid of the
archaeological complex Huaca de la Luna, Peru. Built with millions of adobe bricks by the …

Featured Application Numerical modelling and seismic capacity of dry-joint masonry
structures. Abstract Heritage masonry structures are often modelled as dry-jointed structures …
