Unreinforced masonry (URM) walls are common load-bearing structural elements in most existing buildings, consisting of masonry units (bricks) and mortar joints. They indicate a highly nonlinear and complex behaviour when subjected to combined compression...

This paper presents a safety tool to assess the risk of road blockage during and after emergency situations, mainly due to earthquakes. This method can be used by public authorities to calculate the risk of road paths prone to blockage in case of seismic...

The seismic strengthening of buildings in earthquake-prone areas has been a hot topic in recent years, especially for masonry structures. Because there are so many masonry structures and because most were built before seismic codes existed, their seismic...

Old structures that are made of adobe or brick walls are usually unreinforced and not designed for lateral forces. In-plane loads applied to unreinforced masonry walls (URM) are the usual cause of damage and failure of old buildings. In this research, sm...

This study focused on the in-plane rocking behavior of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls. Three URM wall specimens were designed and fabricated based on a typical masonry house in Korea. The experimental parameters were the layout of openings (its presenc...

Every year, Vietnam faces typhoons accompanied by strong winds. Semi-permanent houses are severely damaged by these winds. We researched a strengthening method using a Polypropylen (PP) band to prevent housing damage caused by strong winds. In this study...

Masonry is among the most widely used construction materials around the world. Contemporary masonry buildings are primarily designed to comply with prescriptive building code regulations. In recent decades, performance-based design (PBD) has gained incre...

There are many ways to strengthen an unreinforced brick masonry wall. One of the strengthening methods applies timber, which is a lightweight and easy installation. The connection between the timber and the brick masonry wall plays an important role. In ...

Following the Zagreb earthquake in March of 2020, a destructive 6.2 magnitude earthquake struck Croatia again in December of 2020. The Sisak-Moslavina county suffered the most severe consequences; many historical and cultural buildings were badly damaged...
