In the history of our civilization, masonry structures date back thousands of years.
Considering the different types, geometries, and arrangements of masonry components, as …

Masonry is one of the oldest fundamental materials used in construction. Structures made by
masonry materials without reinforcement, however, routinely exhibit poor performance when …

Computer vision has shown potential for assisting post-earthquake inspection of buildings
through automatic damage detection in images. However, assessing the safety of an …

Mitigation of seismic risk is a challenge for 70+ countries in the world. Screening the building
stock for potential structural defects is one way to locate structures that are vulnerable to …

The research work herein presented is aimed at investigating the structural behavior of
stone masonry walls reinforced through different strengthening techniques. In particular, the …

Masonry structures commonly exist in reality and still are popular all over the world. It has
been reported and studied that these buildings are vulnerable to strong external loadings …

The vulnerability of stone masonry structures to seismic loading constitutes one of the main
application areas of research in the field of structural engineering. This paper focuses on the …

In addition to traditional methods of strengthening shear masonry walls, some newer
materials and systems, such as fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) and textile reinforced …

Earthquakes pose a significant hazard, and due to the growth of vulnerable, exposed
populations, global levels of seismic risk are increasing. In the past three decades, a …

In this paper an analytical approach for the design and assessment of masonry structures
retrofitted with steel reinforced plaster (SRP) is proposed. The aim of the proposed method is …
