MASONRY STRUCTURES

AIM

It is aimed to teach the material properties and structural behavior of masonry structures. It is also aimed to present the design criteria of these structures and their provisions in the design codes. Another purpose of this course is to show modern methods and studies in the literature about damage assessments and measures for the protection of historical buildings.
