Sentence examples for behaviour of the masonry from inspiring English sources

This confirms the low ductility of the walls and the well-known expected fragile behaviour of the masonry structures [19].

This is an over simplification of the true behaviour of the masonry as a composite material.

In order to consider the nonlinear compressive stress-strain behaviour of the masonry, the model uses the relationship proposed by (Naraine and Sinha 1989).

These tests also determined the limits of monolithic behaviour of the masonry, thus defining failure and enabling the fulfilment of practical engineering requirements.

Klingler and Bertero (1978) considered the nonlinear behaviour of the masonry infill wall when submitted to dynamic loadings, and Liauw and Kwan (1984) developed a semiempirical equation to compute the strut width as a function of other geometrical parameters of the panel.

The nonlinear response history behaviour of the masonry-infilled RC frames under four realistic earthquakes, namely, the 1979 El Centro, 1987 Superstition Hills, 1995 Kobe and 1999 Chi-Chi earthquakes, were simulated using discrete-finite element analysis with damage-based constitutive relations.

A two dimensional macromodelling strategy was used to simulate the behaviour of the confined masonry (CM) shear panels.

This paper detailed the development of a numerical model for simulating the nonlinear behaviour of the concrete masonry infilled RC frames subjected to in-plane lateral loading.

The behaviour of the infill masonry (IM) walls in the reinforced concrete (RC) buildings has been subject of numerous numerical and experimental studies with the main purpose of characterizingtheir influence in buildings' response under seismic loadings.

Two alkali-activated binder based earth mortars were used for this purpose, and the results showed that a substantial mechanical improvement is obtained in terms of compression and shear behaviour of the respective masonry.
