Construction and Retrofit Methods of Stone Masonry Structures in Cyprus
Natural stone is a durable construction material which has been used through centuries for various types of structures. These structures are exposed to corrosive and degradation factors such as climate change and pollution, natural ageing, earthquake actions, increasing urbanization and even human negligence, potentially exposing them to irreversible structural damage and loss. Considering the ...
متن کاملA Numerical Model for Multi-leaf Stone Masonry
ABSTRACT This paper presents a non-linear finite element material model for the analysis of the mechanical behavior of multi-leaf masonry, which is quite frequently used in ancient stone masonry buildings. A damage model, previously developed by some of the authors for brittle materials (namely, concrete) was adapted to fit the experimental stress−strain behavior of stone masonry. To this end, ...
متن کاملSize Dependence of Strength and Fracture Properties of Brick Masonry
The test data on the size effect in the failure of masonry walls and some parts of the discussion of size effect are valuable. However, the theoretical description of the size effect is in my opinion invalid. The use of the "multifractal scaling law" proposed earlier by the senior author is unjustified, for the same reasons as it is for concrete structures. The reasons are explained in detail i...
متن کاملUse of Sonic and GPR Tests to Control the Effectiveness of Grout Injections of Stone Masonry
Some specimens reproducing three leaf stone masonry walls frequently used in Italy, have been built at DIS, Milan, using two different types of stones and tested under compression and shear, up to failure. Subsequently the damaged wallettes were repaired by injection and the effectiveness of the injection was controlled by several NDT (non destructive techniques)
متن کاملGround Motion Characteristics of the 2015 Gorkha Earthquake, Survey of Damage to Stone Masonry Structures and Structural Field Tests
On April 25, 2015, a M7.8 earthquake rattled central Nepal; ground motion recorded in Kantipath, Kathmandu, 76.86 km east of the epicenter suggested that the low-frequency component was dominant. We consider data from eight aftershocks following the Gorkha earthquake and analyze ground motion characteristics; we found that most of the ground motion records are dominated by low frequencies for e...
