Mechanical characterisation of masonry in existing structures by means of laboratory and in-situ experimental techniques
Albert Cabané Cañas
Abstract:(English) Masonry structures are among the most abundant construction typologies in the world, having been commonly built until the second half of the 20th century. The determination of the mechanical properties of these structures entails significant difficulties given the intrinsic complexity of masonry as a composite material. For this reason, the accurate evaluation of masonry buildings against vertical and horizontal actions requires the development and improvement of techniques for the characterisation o… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
