An experimental program was devised to assess the influence of the compressive strength of the grout on the compressive strength of masonry constructed with high-strength concrete masonry units. Three different compressive ...

An experimental program on reinforced concrete masonry beams was conducted aiming to better understand the behavior of reinforced masonry beams. The beams were designed to fail in flexure, assessing cracking patterns, ...

The extent of damage in a city, in case of strong earthquakes, can be estimated from the results of the seismic vulnerability of its most common construction type. The aim of the present contribution is to determine the ...

Models based on the continuous damage theory present good responses in representing the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete structures with loss of strength and stiffness of the material. However, damage theory is ...

At present, many of the historic masonry structures in the most important seismic zone of Argentina present damages due to the actions to which they have been subjected. Therefore, it is necessary to study the behavior of ...
