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

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 structural behavior of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls under in-plane (IP) or out-of-
plane (OOP) loading in masonry buildings has been extensively investigated in the public …

Several tools for the prediction and the assessment of the structural behavior of masonry
buildings have been developed in recent decades. Numerical tools have been favorably …

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 …

Out-of-plane collapse is one of the most important failure modes for masonry infill walls in
frame structures during earthquakes and may result in significant economic loss, blocked …

This research investigates the texture influence of masonry walls' lateral capacity by
comparing analytical predictions performed via macro and micro limit analysis. In particular …

The structural behavior of fully grouted reinforced concrete masonry (RM) walls subjected to
either pure in-plane (IP) or pure out-of-plane (OOP) loading has been thoroughly examined …

Considering the high vulnerability of existing masonry buildings, which often have strategic
or cultural value, professionals and specialized engineers are frequently required to model …

The seismic behavior of masonry walls strengthened by cold rolled steel sheets is
numerically evaluated in this study using finite element modeling in ABAQUS. Cold-rolled …
