Database of 3D stone masonry walls and its analysis based on geometric parameters

2025

Abstract

A challenge in the numerical modeling of irregular stone masonry is the generation of realistic 3D microstructures. To address this problem, we have developed a database of microstructures for a wide range of masonry typologies. The database comprises 36 distinct microstructures of which 12 are generated through digital twinning of real stone masonry walls and 24 through virtual microstructure generators for 3D stone masonry walls. All the microstructures in the database are categorized according to the Italian code. In addition, we have calculated the geometric masonry quality index for all walls and classified them according to their masonry quality. The database is publicly available and provides access to ready-to-use 3D realistic microstructures for numerical simulations.

Masonry

Masonry is the craft of building a structure with brick, stone, or similar material, including mortar plastering which are often laid in, bound and pasted together by mortar; the term masonry can also refer to the building units (stone, brick, etc.) themselves. The common materials of masonry construction are bricks and building stone such as marble, granite, and limestone, cast stone, concrete blocks, glass blocks, and adobe. Masonry is generally a highly durable form of construction.

Database

In computing, a database is an organized collection of data (also known as a data store) stored and accessed electronically through the use of a database management system. Small databases can be stored on a , while large databases are hosted on computer clusters or cloud storage. The design of databases spans formal techniques and practical considerations, including data modeling, efficient data representation and storage, query languages, security and privacy of sensitive data, and distributed computing issues, including supporting concurrent access and fault tolerance.

Relational database

A relational database is a (most commonly digital) database based on the relational model of data, as proposed by E. F. Codd in 1970. A system used to maintain relational databases is a relational database management system (RDBMS). Many relational database systems are equipped with the option of using SQL (Structured Query Language) for querying and updating the database. The term "relational database" was first defined by E. F. Codd at IBM in 1970. Codd introduced the term in his research paper "A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks".
