Sentence examples for behaviour of masonry structures from inspiring English sources
Post-earthquake surveys and past experimental studies have demonstrated that flexible diaphragms significantly alter the seismic behaviour of masonry structures.
In these studies, quasi-static loads have been used, as indeed common in many analyses of the seismic behaviour of masonry structures.
A quasi-static approach (the seismic coefficient method) for the evaluation of the seismic loads has been used (as indeed is common in many analyses of the seismic behaviour of masonry structures).
This paper sets out the development of the retrofitting methods based on the use of stainless profiles and presents a review of experimental studies carried out into the mechanical behaviour of masonry structures reinforced using stainless steel.
A masonry mechanical behaviour analysis and numerical simulation of the masonry ageing phenomenon will also be addressed by means of an experimental design to study the influence of masonry block physical properties on the mechanical behaviour of masonry structures in old tunnels.
In the present paper a branch of the FDEM software, developed at the University of Toronto and called Y-Brick, is presented and validated as a useful tool to model the reversed cyclic behaviour of masonry structures of varying levels of complexity.
In addition, due to the great difficulty in the formulation of robust numerical algorithms representing satisfactorily the inelastic behaviour of masonry, micro and macro analyses of masonry structures are often limited to the structural pre-peak regime (Maruccio 2010 and Xu et al. 2012).
This study focuses on the structural failures and weaknesses of masonry structures with JAS.
Hence, the investigation of the deformation capacity of masonry structures should start by studying the in-plane behaviour of masonry walls and their constitutive elements, i.e. piers and spandrels (in the case of walls with openings).
Eurocode 6: Design of masonry structures – Part 1 – Common rules for reinforced and unreinforced masonry structures.
The compressive strength of masonry is a relevant mechanical parameter playing a central role in the assessment of masonry structures.
