    • Masonry infilled frame structures: state-of-the-art review of numerical modelling 

      Tarque, Nicola; Candido, Leandro; Camata, Guido; Spacone, Enrico (US, 2015)
      This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the nonlinear modelling techniques available today for describing the structural behaviour of masonry infills and their interaction with frame structures subjected to in-plane ...

    • Multi-criteria analysis of five reinforcement options for Peruvian confined masonry walls 

      Tarque, Nicola; Salsavilca, Jhoselyn; Yacila, Jhair; Camata, Guido (US, 2019)
      In Peru, construction of dwellings using confined masonry walls (CM) has a high percentage of acceptance within many sectors of the population. It is estimated that only in Lima, 80% of the constructions use CM and at least ...

    • Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of a Full-Scale Unreinforced Adobe Model 

      Tarque, Nicola; Camata, Guido; Spacone, Enrico; Varum, Humberto; Blondet, Marcial (US, 2014)
      This paper describes the results of a numerical study of a full-scale adobe building model tested on a shaking table. Material properties of adobe masonry were calibrated to represent the wall in-plane seismic behavior, ...

    • Numerical simulation of an adobe wall under in-plane loading 

      Tarque, Nicola; Camata, Guido; Varum, Humberto; Spacone, Enrico; Blondet, Marcial (US, 2014)
      Adobe is one of the oldest construction materials that is still used in many seismic countries, and different construction techniques are found around the world. The adobe material is characterized as a brittle material; ...

    • Rope mesh as a seismic reinforcement for two‑storey adobe Buildings 

      Tarque, Nicola; Blondet, Marcial; Vargas‑Neumann, Julio; Yallico‑Luque, Ramiro (US, 2022)
      Throughout the world, millions of people are at risk because they live in unreinforced earthen dwellings, which have consistently shown extremely poor structural behaviour during earthquakes. Every single earthquake occurring ...
