Masonry Unit - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics Masonry units used in modern construction, commonly referred to as bricks or blocks depending on their geometry, are made of clay, concrete, or stone Clay or concrete units can be “solid” or hollow
A methodology for the rapid and reliable assessment of existing masonry . . . Masonry bridges consist of the arch ring, which is the main structural component and is composed of bricks and or stones which supports loads principally in compression Masonry arch bridges also contain backfill which plays a key role in the bridge’s mechanical behaviour
Estimation of settlement-induced damage in masonry buildings from . . . This paper investigated the performance of techniques which estimate settlement-induced damage in masonry buildings using displacement measurements and various equivalent beam idealisations (Timoshenko, sandwich and bay beams)
Automatic crack classification and segmentation on masonry surfaces . . . Since for masonry structures little work has been done for crack detection it is deemed beneficial to train networks both for patch classification (Section 4) and pixel-level segmentation (Section 5) in order to examine the efficacy of different techniques and broadcast the feasibility of DL methods on crack detection for masonry surfaces
Anomaly detection of cracks in synthetic masonry arch bridge point . . . Masonry arch bridges constitute around 60% of the railway bridge stock in Europe [1] Most of these bridges are over 100 years old Due to changes in rail and road vehicles since their construction, these bridges are now subjected to increased load demands [2] For these reasons, frequent visual inspections are necessary to track their
