Masonry is defined as a structural material made by the assemblage of natural (stones) or artificial (bricks) elements, with or without mortar, suitable for the realization of the bearing elements of a construction. The difficulty of modeling masonry depends on the following factors: •.
Dec 1, 2001 · Masonry walls: materials and construction. This paper offers a review of contemporary masonry wall construction beginning with a brief statement of the applications and advantages of this form of construction. Masonry materials include clay, concrete and calcium silicate in which a wide variety of unit sizes, forms and colours are produced.
3.1.1 Introducing types of masonry buildings. In civil engineering, the term “masonry structure buildings” generally refers to structures that do not use conventional restrained seismic systems such as moment frames and shear walls. In these buildings, the walls are the main components of the structure. Brick, sand, and cement mortar are ...
Sep 15, 2023 · A series of masonry building images was developed, including complex backgrounds and a wide range of crack types and sizes. A variety of DL networks were considered. Using the impact of transfer learning, crack recognition on masonry surfaces was accomplished with 95.3 percent accuracy at the patch level and 79.6 percent F1 score at the pixel ...
Nov 15, 2017 · In this paper, a simplified micro-model approach utilising a combination of plasticity-based constitutive models and the extended finite element method (XFEM) is proposed. The approach is shown to be an efficient means of simulating the three-dimensional non-linear behaviour of masonry under monotonic in-plane, out of plane and cyclic loads.
Stone masonry is one of the oldest construction systems in Nepal. Stone masonry construction is especially dominant in the low-to-high mountains of Nepal from east to west (Gautam, Chaulagain, et al., 2018). Although more than 70% of Nepali building stocks is comprised of stone masonry (Gautam & Chaulagain, 2016; Gautam, Rodrigues, Bhetwal ...
May 1, 2021 · Taking all these into consideration a masonry dataset is prepared for this study. Photos were collected from different sources. Various images of masonry walls containing cracks were obtained from the Internet. Additionally, photos were taken from different masonry buildings in the Groningen region, The Netherlands.
Sep 6, 2024 · Subsequently, a comprehensive review of assessment, repair, and retrofitting methods for masonry structures is provided. Machine learning (ML) techniques have proven to be exceptional tools for providing accurate and reliable information. In this paper, descriptions and recent advances in ML techniques for the assessment, repair, and ...
Jan 1, 2016 · 11.3. Stone masonry materials. Stone masonry is formed by stone blocks, of natural origin, that is, derived from the rocks, and by mortars of artificial origin, that is, man-made products. This section deals first with stone blocks, describing rock classification and a review of rock types used in architecture.
Jan 1, 2016 · 11.1. Introduction. This chapter provides an overview of masonry as a sustainable construction material. It deals primarily with clay brickwork and concrete blockwork, these being the main types of masonry used in the UK. The chapter describes their manufacture and principal properties with regard to sustainability.
