Macro scale material characterisation in support of meso scale modelling of masonry under uniaxial in-plane loading
(InderScience Publishers, 2020)
Article
Open AccessThe amount of detailed experimental data on the mechanical properties of brick masonry in the literature is limited regarding the orthotropic strength and fracture energy. A combined experimental/numerical methodology is ... -
Numerical analysis of settlement-induced damage to a masonry church nave wall
(2018)
Conference report
Open AccessDifferential soil settlements can induce structural damage to heritage buildings, causing not only economic but also cultural value losses. In 1963, the Saint Jacob’s church in Leuven was permanently closed to the public ... -
Numerical modeling of a church nave wall subjected to differential settlements: soil-structure interaction, time-dependence and sensitivity analysis
(2019-04-14)
Article
Open AccessHistoric masonry structures are particularly sensitive to differential soil settlements. These settlements may be caused by deformable soil, shallow or inadequate foundation, structural additions in the building and changes ... -
Semi-automated creation of accurate FEM meshes of heritage masonry walls from point cloud data
(2018)
Conference report
Open AccessThe structural analysis of buildings requires accurate spatial models. Additionally, pathologies such as settlement-induced damages are paramount in the assessment of heritage assets. This spatial information is used as ...
