Since the late 1970s, nonlinear static analysis have had an increasing use in the seismic
assessment of existing unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. Different modelling …

The present investigation focuses on the nonlinear modelling of masonry walls under in-
plane loading. To conduct this macro-scale study, a homogenization technique is applied to …

Although widespread in civil engineering construction, brick masonry walls usually designed
to resist only gravity loads are known to be vulnerable structural elements with respect to …

A review of methods applicable to the study of masonry historical construction,
encompassing both classical and advanced ones, is presented. Firstly, the paper offers a …

The paper analyzes the seismic vulnerability of the historical complex of “San Francesco”
located in Cagli, Marche Region, Italy. It provides both advanced 3D modelling with solid …

The present study aims to provide a comparative analysis between discontinuous models
(DM) and continuous models (CM) for the analysis of majestic masonry structures subjected …

This paper presents a numerical model for nonlinear analysis of masonry structural
elements based on Continuum Damage Mechanics. The material is described at the macro …

The structural assessment of ancient masonry structures is still a challenging task. The main
reasons have been related to the shortage of information in the materials' characterization …

In this paper, a dataset collecting the results of in-plane cyclic tests on unreinforced masonry
piers, carried out within different research projects, is presented. The dataset includes brick …

This work delves into the seismic assessment of masonry bridges through a detailed
analysis of an existing triple-arched bridge. Firstly, the effectiveness of the nonlinear static …
