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

The present manuscript deals with the seismic vulnerability assessment of existing masonry
churches, which is a fundamental process for risk and consequent prioritization analyses, as …

Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings are susceptible to extraordinary actions such as
earthquakes compared to steel or reinforced concrete buildings. Various methods have …

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 …

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 the seismic analysis of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures, the modeling of out‐of‐
plane (OOP) modes and their mechanical interaction with in‐plane (IP) loaded components …

This study investigates the influence of the uncertainty in material properties on the in-plane
lateral behavior and capacity of stone masonry walls via a stochastic discontinuum analysis …

In this study, the in-plane structural behavior, capacity, and performance of dry-joint stone
masonry walls (DJ-SMWs) and the effects of the vertical stress level on these factors are …

In this study, lateral capacity and load-deflection behavior of unreinforced stone masonry
walls are analyzed based on the discrete element method considering the uncertainties in …

The out-of-plane flexural bending capacity of masonry is a fundamental property for
understanding the behavior of masonry structures. This study investigates the behavior of …
