DOI: 10.1016/j.jobe.2021.103169
Abstract: Abstract The shear properties are key characteristics for evaluating masonry elements under in-plane horizontal actions. Historical structures may need the evaluation of these properties in order to perform safety evaluations, diagnoses, retrofitting, etc. These properties… read more here.
