Sentence examples for masonry medium from inspiring English sources

The FE analyses carried out reveal that the global structural behaviour is primarily influenced by the tensile response assigned to the homogenized masonry medium.

As part of this scrutiny an investigation evaluating the interaction of masonry veneers and medium rise structural frames under seismic loads was conducted.

The localized deformation is described by considering a structured medium comprising the intact masonry intercepted by a distinct macrocrack.

Numerical studies on medium- and large-sized masonry structures consisting of the same materials subjected to various loads were performed to determine the ultimate crack length, and the results are relatively insensitive to the size of the masonry and the type of the load applied.

Studies on non-confined medium- and large-sized masonry structures have shown that it is necessary to obtain a linear increasing crack in the post-peak part of the "stress strain or –displacement" diagram.

In mountainous areas including epicentral area, non-engineered masonry structures were severely damaged, and traces of medium to large scale landslides and rock falls were frequently observed.

Reinforced masonry (RM) shear walls are widely used in medium- to high-rise masonry buildings as part of the lateral force resisting system to provide the lateral strength, stiffness and energy dissipation capacity required to resist lateral loads arising from earthquakes or wind.

This study focuses on the derivation of such fragility curves using medium-rise flat-slab buildings with masonry infill walls.

The proposed medium prestressing level is the optimal for masonry towers and other slender structures failing by bending and shear.

The most recent design codes for masonry structures necessitate the use of reinforced masonry (RM) shear walls in medium and high seismic areas.

In recent years, fully grouted reinforced concrete block masonry shear walls have been widely used as key structural elements for seismic resistance in medium- and high-rise buildings.
