Hygro-Thermo-Mechanical Analysis of Brick Masonry Walls Subjected to Environmental Actions

Masonry walls comprise an important part of the building envelope and, thus, are exposed to environmental effects such as temperature and moisture variations. However, structural assessment usually neglects the influence of these hygro-thermal loads and assumes ideal conditions. This paper presents...
