Reinforced concrete (RC) structural walls with coupling beams are widely used as the primary lateral-load-bearing elements in high-rise building structures. Many researches have shown that there is uncertainty in the estimation of the effective stiffness o ...

The data set contains the Abaqus input files of the numerical analyses presented in two research papers. 1) Influence of load history on the force-displacement response of in-plane loaded unreinforced masonry walls, Engineering Structures, 2017, L ...

The seismic performance of unreinforced masonry buildings is commonly assessed using equivalent frame modelling. Its computational efficiency allows for a large number of analyses to be conducted, which are often required to account for epistemic and aleat ...

Reinforced concrete walls are commonly used to resist the lateral loading induced by wind and earthquake actions. While most walls include two vertical reinforcement layers, some regions of the world construct slender, non-rectangular concrete walls with a ...

The SERA project AIMS (Seismic Testing of Adjacent Interacting Masonry Structures) comprised a blind prediction competition related to a shake-table test of an aggregate of two buildings under two horizontal components of dynamic excitation. Each group was ...

Historical centers of Europe and Croatia are often formed by unreinforced masonry building aggregates that developed as the layout of the city or village was densified. In these aggregates, adjacent buildings can share structural walls with an older and a ...

This article introduces an analytical model to compute the monotonic force–displacement response of in-plane loaded unreinforced brick masonry walls accounting for walls failing in shear or ﬂexure. The masonry wall is modelled as elastic in compression wit ...

An analytical model describing the flexural response of vertically spanning out-of-plane loaded unreinforced masonry walls is presented in this paper. The model is based on the second-order Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and captures important characteristics ...

This paper investigates the applicability and limitations of the guidelines for ground motion selection and scaling provided in the first- and second-generation of Eurocode 8 for the assessment of two unreinforced masonry buildings subjected to bi-directio ...

Augmented reality in additive fabrication is predominantly applied to the manufacturing of structures from regularly shaped materials. Our work however embraces natural heterogeneity, by focusing on the assembly of irregularly shaped elements such as miner ...

High Damping Rubber Bearings (HDRBs) are widely used in seismic isolation of structures, and their force-deformation constitutive behavior controls the lateral structural response during an earthquake. However, given the many components and steps involved ...

In many historical centres in Europe, stone masonry buildings are part of building aggregates, which developed when the layout of the city or village was densified. In these aggregates, adjacent buildings share structural walls to support floors and roofs. ...

We present a method for segmenting cracks in images of masonry buildings damaged by earthquakes. Existing methods of crack detection fail to preserve the continuity of cracks, and their performance deteriorates with imprecise training labels. We address th ...

A correction to this paper has been published: https://doi.org/10.1617/s11527-021-01653-6 ...

This paper presents a numerical study on the force-deformation behaviour of masonry spandrels supported on arches which are analysed using simplified micro models. The model is validated against results from quasi-static cyclic tests on masonry spandrels. ...

Thin reinforced concrete walls may fail due to out-of-plane instability when subjected to seismic loading. While previous numerical studies on wall instability have focused on the behaviour of members with two layers of vertical reinforcement, this work ad ...

The force-displacement behavior of masonry elements depends on the properties of their constituents, mortar and unit, as well as on their typology, i.e., the shape and size of the units and the patterns they generate. Up until now, only few numerical studi ...

Neural radiance fields have emerged as a dominant paradigm for creating complex 3D environments incorporating synthetic novel views. However, 3D object removal applications utilizing neural radiance fields have lagged behind in effectiveness, particularly ...

Displacement‐based assessment procedures require as input reliable estimates of the deformation capacity of all structural elements. For unreinforced masonry (URM) walls, current design codes specify the in‐plane deformation capacity as empirical equations ...
