A risk index for the structural diagnosis of masonry heritage (RISDiMaH)
Makoond, Nirvan Chandra; Pelà, Luca; Molins i Borrell, Climent (Elsevier, 2021-05)
Article
Open AccessExperts responsible for the safety evaluation of unique masonry heritage structures usually need to weigh information from various diagnosis activities before deciding the best course of action for preservation. Typical ... -
Automated data analysis for static structural health monitoring of masonry heritage structures
Makoond, Nirvan Chandra; Pelà, Luca; Molins i Borrell, Climent; Roca Fabregat, Pedro; Alarcón Fernández, Daniel (Wiley, 2020-10)
Article
Open AccessMasonry heritage structures are often affected by slow irreversible deterioration mechanisms that can jeopardise structural stability in the foreseeable future. Static structural health monitoring (SHM), aimed at the ... -
Data analysis using ARX models applied to static structural health monitoring of the Monastery of Sant Cugat
Makoond, Nirvan Chandra; Pelà, Luca; Molins i Borrell, Climent; Roca Fabregat, Pedro (International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessThe church of the monastery of Sant Cugat close to Barcelona is a medieval construction characterized by a complex structural behaviour stemming from the interaction among various structural elements built over different ... -
Dynamic elastic properties of brick masonry constituents
Makoond, Nirvan Chandra; Pelà, Luca; Molins i Borrell, Climent (Elsevier, 2019-02)
Article
Open AccessWhen subjected to dynamic loading, materials can exhibit a mechanical behaviour quite different from its static counterpart. The evaluation of dynamic properties is thus very useful in the assessment of existing masonry ... -
Relationship between the static and dynamic elastic modulus of brick masonry constituents
Makoond, Nirvan Chandra; Cabané Cañas, Albert; Pelà, Luca; Molins i Borrell, Climent (Elsevier, 2020-10)
Article
Open AccessDifferent brick masonry typologies have been and are still widely used in construction worldwide. Despite being a fundamental deformation property, experimentally determining the static elastic modulus in compression for ... -
Robust estimation of axial loads sustained by tie-rods in historical structures using Artificial Neural Networks
Makoond, Nirvan Chandra; Pelà, Luca; Molins i Borrell, Climent (2022-10)
Article
Open AccessWidely used simplified analytical methods for estimating the tensile force in tie-rods are clearly not applicable when they contain significant discontinuities or irregularities. A common example for which this fact becomes ... -
Static structural health monitoring and automated data analysis procedures applied to the diagnosis of a complex medieval masonry monastery
Makoond, Nirvan Chandra; Pelà, Luca; Molins i Borrell, Climent; Roca Fabregat, Pedro (2020)
Conference report
Open AccessStatic structural health monitoring (SHM), aimed at the continuous measurement of slow-varying parameters over a long period, has been proved to be a powerful tool to support the diagnosis of masonry heritage structures. ... -
Structural diagnosis of masonry heritage : contributions to non-destructive testing, structural health monitoring and risk assessment.
Makoond, Nirvan Chandra (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2020-12-16)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessMany cultural heritage sites across the globe consist of masonry structures. To ensure the preservation of such structures, an accurate evaluation of their current structural condition is often of utmost importance. However, ...
