Numerical‐Experimental Evaluation of Masonry Infill Contribution to the Stiffening of Steel Frames
Rita de Cássia Silva Sant’Ana Alvarenga,Roberto Márcio da Silva,Paulo B. Lourenço,Alba Bruna Cintra De Grandi +3 more
TL;DR: The efficiency of using masonry as a stiffening element for steel structures is corroborated, taking into account the masonry contribution to lateral stiffness.
A new proposal for the design of confined masonry buildings
Rui Filipe Pedreira Marques,Paulo B. Lourenço +1 more
- 01 Jan 2010
TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical strength criterion for confined masonry, based on the diagonal shear failure of confined walls, is proposed, which can be acceptably predicted by a multiple regression of the normal stress, diagonal strength, slenderness and masonry cross-section ratio of the walls.

Innovative masonry blocks for partition walls
Graça Vasconcelos,Elisa Poletti,Pedro D. Medeiros,Paulo Mendonça,Pedro Carvalho,Sandra Raquel Leite Cunha,Aires Camões,Paulo B. Lourenço +7 more
- 01 Oct 2010
TL;DR: In this article, a non-structural system of partition walls with monolithic blocks based on a composite material resulting from an admixture of cork and textile fibers combined with a non cement binder, gypsum is proposed.

A Constitutive Three-Dimensional Interface Model for Masonry Walls subjected to High Strain Rates
Paulo B. Lourenço,Seyed Jafar Hashemi,João Miguel Pereira +2 more
- 01 Jan 2014
TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic constitutive material interface model that includes an non-associated flow rule and high strain rate effects is proposed to study the behavior of masonry at different strain rates.
