Manufacturing, assembly, and testing of scaled, historic masonry for one-gravity, pseudo-static, soil-structure experiments

Laefer, Debra F. ; Long, James H. ; Cording, Edward J. ; Erkal, Aykut ; Truong Hong, Linh (Elsevier, 2011-12)

In many model-scale experiments, geometric scaling is upheld but kinematic and/or dynamic similitude is not because of the difficulty in manufacturing and assembling small models. This paper describes scaling, manufacturing, ...
Micro vs. macro models for predicting building damage underground movements

Truong Hong, Linh ; Laefer, Debra F. (2008-11)

For over 30 years various micro and macro models have been used for analysing masonry, but no strong consensus within the structural engineering community exists as to usage. Selection remains driven by field scenarios, ...
Theoretical solutions for strength-scaled unreinforced masonry for scaled soil-structure experimentation

Laefer, Debra F. ; Erkal, Aykut ; Cording, Edward J. ; Long, James H. ; Truong Hong, Linh (ASTM International, 2010-07)

Reduced-scale masonry testing offers advantages of lower costs and shorter schedules compared to full-scale testing, but achieving results reflective of full-scale behavior requires development and fulfilment of appropriate ...
