Sentence examples for leaf masonry from inspiring English sources

The aim of this work is to find an economic single leaf masonry wall for the building construction industry with minimised heat loss through the envelope.

Two examples of masonry textures are considered, the first consisting in a quasi-periodic arrangement of large blocks with different length and a weak transversal interconnection, the second in a more interconnected three leaf masonry, with the external leaves constituted by two running bond wythes.

Multiple-leaf masonry walls are usually adopted in historic buildings in seismic areas.

Multi-leaf masonry walls constitute the composite construction typology most widely adopted in historic buildings.

The dynamic monitoring of multi-leaf masonry wall is here proposed.

Secondly, the effects of time-dependent stress redistributions on the long-term stability of three-leaf masonry are investigated.

Further analysis provided results on other parameters which mainly characterise the behaviour of three-leaf masonry under seismic loads, i.e., stiffness degradation, energy dissipation, and viscous damping.

In addition, experimental strength and deformability parameters of single- and multi-leaf masonry are compared with the predictions of simple equations available in the literature.

In this paper, the case of multi-leaf masonry wall has been investigated, and with the aim of reproducing historical buildings structural elements, three different typologies of multi-leaf masonry walls have been considered: (i) full infill, (ii) damaged infill, (iii) consolidated infill.

This paper presents the experimental investigation of the mechanical properties of three-leaf masonry constructed with natural stones and clay (mud) mortars under compression focusing on the production and properties of the mortars.

Validated against experimental tests, the FE models were used to accurately predict the shear strength and reflect damage progression in multi-leaf masonry walls under in-plane cyclic loading, including the propagation of cracks beneath the BFRP reinforcement.
