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 ... -
Assessing community resilience, housing recovery and impact of mitigation strategies at the urban scale: a case study after the 2012 Northern Italy Earthquake
(2020-10)
Article
Open AccessIn this paper, the reconstruction process of a town afected by the 2012 Northern Italy Earthquake is analysed using information published on the town journal. Relevant aspects are highlighted, and the housing recovery is ... -
Assessing the impact of seismic risk mitigation at the urban scale on community resilience and housing recovery
(International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessEuropean historical city centers are particularly prone to natural disasters. This is due to the fragility of structures that often times do not comply with seismic codes; the high constructions’ density that causes induced ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
