Advanced tools for fast micro-modelling of masonry structures
(International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessAmong all the approaches commonly used to study masonry structures, micro-modelling is the most accurate. Masonry can be seen as a composite material made of bricks and mortar joints. Their different mechanical properties, ... -
Analysis of the performance in the linear field of Equivalent-Frame Models for regular and irregular masonry walls
(2017-08)
Article
Open AccessThe Equivalent-Frame Method (EFM), a simplified procedure for structural modelling of masonry constructions, is having a great success for the good balance that it allows between the accuracy of the geometrical description ... -
Cyclic shear-compression testing of brick masonry walls repaired and retrofitted with basalt textile reinforced mortar
(2022-03)
Article
Open AccessThis paper reports an experimental programme on masonry walls composed of handmade solid clay brick and hydraulic lime mortar. Reversed cyclic shear compression tests were carried out on the walls in three different ... -
Experimental and numerical analysis of the cyclic in-plane behaviour of retrofitted masonry walls
(Universidad de Cantabria, 2022)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper presents an experimental study focused on the mechanical performance of retrofitted brick masonry walls under in-plane cyclic shear test. The specimens were tested in two configurations: unreinforced and ... -
Experimental assessment of shear response of brick masonry retrofitted with TRM
(International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessAs one of the main historical construction materials, masonry is abundant among the architectural heritage of earthquake-prone areas of the Mediterranean countries. Earthquake mitigation approaches are now focusing on ... -
Experimental cyclic behaviour of shear masonry walls reinforced with single and double layered Steel Reinforced Grout
(Elsevier, 2022-02)
Article
Open AccessRecent research on the mechanical characterisation of Steel Reinforced Grout (SRG) has highlighted its excellent performance as strengthening solutions for masonry structures. Using SRG with limited fabric density ensures ... -
Experimental study of in-plane shear behaviour of brick masonry retrofitted with basalt and steel reinforced mortars
(Universidad de Cantabria, 2020)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper focuses on the application of composite materials to improve the in-plane shear strength of existing brick masonry walls. The experimental program involved the construction of walls composed of handmade solid ... -
Finite elements vs. equivalent-frame models for URM walls’ in-plane behaviour
(2017)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyAs a consequence of the large number of masonry buildings and their important historical value, there is an ongoing effort to investigate their structural behaviour. This has led to a continuous development of new methodologies ... -
In-plane shear behaviour by diagonal compression testing of brick masonry walls strengthened with basalt and steel textile reinforced mortars
(Elsevier, 2020-04)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents an experimental study of the structural behaviour of masonry walls retrofitted with Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) to improve their in-plane shear strength and deformation capacity. The experimental ... -
Micro-scale continuous and discrete numerical models for nonlinear analysis of masonry shear walls
(2017-09)
Article
Open AccessA novel damage mechanics-based continuous micro-model for the analysis of masonry-walls is presented and compared with other two well-known discrete micro-models. The discrete micro-models discretize masonry micro-structure ... -
Multiscale computational first order homogenization of thick shells for the analysis of out-of-plane loaded masonry walls
(2017-03)
Article
Open AccessThis work presents a multiscale method based on computational homogenization for the analysis of general heterogeneous thick shell structures, with special focus on periodic brick-masonry walls. The proposed method is ... -
Numerical investigation of non-linear equivalent-frame models for regular masonry walls
(2018-10)
Article
Open AccessThe accuracy of the Equivalent Frame Method (EFM) in modelling the seismic non-linear behaviour of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings is investigated for regular walls (i.e. walls with regular openings’ distribution) ... -
Numerical validation of Equivalent-Frame Models for URM walls
(2016)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyIn the last decades increasing attention has been devoted to masonry structures both from researchers and professionals. This is due to the awareness of the great importance of these structures in the historical urban ... -
Regularization of first order computational homogenization for multiscale analysis of masonry structures
(2016-02)
Article
Open AccessThis paper investigates the possibility of using classical first order computational homogenization together with a simple regularization procedure based on the fracture energy of the micro-scale-constituents. A generalized ... -
Validation of non-linear equivalent-frame models for irregular masonry walls
(Elsevier, 2022-02)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis article compares the results obtained from the analyses of seven two-story masonry walls with an asymmetric arrangement of the openings. The walls are modelled with finite elements detailed micromodels and equivalent ...
