A methodology to predict key aspects of the structural response of masonry walls under blast loading using artificial neural networks (ANN) is presented in this paper. The failure patterns of masonry walls due to in and out-of-plane loading are complex d...

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...

A numerical investigation of masonry walls subjected to blast loads is presented in this article. A non-linear finite element model is proposed to describe the structural response of the walls. A unilateral contact?friction law is used in the interfaces ...

A render is the first protective layer of exterior walls against the outdoor climate, which, due to its constitution, aims to gradually slow down the liquid moisture penetration to prevent it from reaching the wall inner layers. Due to the future expecte...

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...

Although the principal aim of the rockfall management is to prevent rock boulders from reaching the buildings instead of the buildings resisting the boulder impacts, there usually exists a residual risk that has to be assessed, even when structural prote...

Many masonry structures are constructed with cement clay interlocking brick (CCIB) due to its added benefits. Recent research has demonstrated the vulnerability of brick masonry walls against seismic loading. Various strengthening materials and technique...

Several Italian cities are characterized by the presence of centuries-old historic walls, which have a cultural heritage value and, due to their structural role as a retaining wall, often influence the safety of adjacent buildings and infrastructure. Anc...
