Sumario:"Focusing on the use of masonry in construction, Masonry: Design, Materials and Techniques is a book updated with the latest sustainable materials and practices. This book emphasizes the use of structural masonry, from the historical masonry and use of masonry in historical constructions, the use of masonry in vernacular constructions and the use of masonry in recent buildings. It includes such aspects of masonry from ancient traditions to the latest advances, materials, and techniques. In each chapter, the thematic issues are supported by case studies featuring monumental buildings, low-rise buildings with unreinforced masonry, and recent RC buildings with clay masonry. Masonry: Design, Materials and Techniques covers the following topics: Materials and techniques used in masonry construction, seismic behavior of URM buildings, monumental buildings, monitoring and assessment, numerical strategies used for masonry buildings, structural behavior and design of low-rise, wall bearing buildings, non-destructive tests in the characterization of masonry walls, vulnerability and sustainability of vernacular construction, and codes and design of RC buildings with infill masonry walls"--
