Abstract:
This thesis explores the design of a T-shaped brick and its influence throughout the course of the project. The T-brick established a significant direction towards weaving masonry and my firsthand recognition of the utmost importance of poetic construction for an architect. This thesis helps to affirm that construction is vital for architecture to be autonomous. Programmatic requirements, technology, social change, new inventions, etc., distract from the potential of architecture. We must first concern ourselves with how a building is to be made and trust that those things outside of archi

About half of the total building stock in Turkey is masonry type building. Masonry buildings in Turkey, especially in rural areas, are constructed without any engineering knowledge mostly by their own residents. They generally have heavy roofs. Masonry type buildings also have thick and heavy wall materials. Heavy roof and wall material generate large inertial forces in the case of an earthquake. Brittle failure of walls leads to total failure of whole system followed by sudden collapse of heavy roof.

Abstract:
There are many advantages of masonry construction like widespread geographic availability in many forms, colors and textures, comparative cheapness, fire resistance, thermal and sound insulation, durability, etc. For such reasons, it is still a commonly used type of residential construction in rural and even in urban regions. Unfortunately, its behavior especially under the effect of earthquake ground motions has not been identified clearly because of its complex material nature. Hence, the masonry buildings with structural deficiencies belong to the most vulnerable class of structures which h

About 40% of bridges in European transport network are masonry arch bridges (most built over 100 years ago) and are being subjected to increasing loading regimes. Assessment of the long-term fatigue capacity of masonry bridges is necessary to ensure that increased traffic loading does not result in premature deterioration and/or reduce their life expectancy. The study investigates the influence of compressive fatigue loading on the behaviour and mechanical properties of soft brick masonry, relevant to the structural loadbearing elements, for example the arch ring in canal masonry bridges.

Masonry has been used for millennia to build all sort of constructions. As a result, a significant part of the building stock around the world is made of masonry. In the need of structural assessment, structural analysis tools, as well as strength criteria proposed in building codes, require the knowledge of the mechanical properties of the materials. However, the mechanical characterisation of masonry is still difficult and challenging, due to its composite nature and its complex mechanical behaviour.

A significant number of buildings are supported by load-bearing masonry walls. The preservation of these worldwide used structures is a sustainable alternative. However, there is little research about the structural response of these particular elements if compared with others like concrete or steels framed structures. Hence, a further study of the load-bearing masonry walls is necessary as a starting point for the preservation activities. The load-bearing masonry walls are usually subjected to a vertical eccentric loading condition, which is related with their complex structural response. T

This thesis focuses on the behavior of clay masonry walls subjected to cyclic racking loading.

This is accomplished by placing a 3.2mm thick galvanized steel plate in the mortar joint, of successive courses, in the plastic hinge region of the wall.

Abstract:
The teaching of the user through the clear understanding of the building they encounter on a daily basis is the intent of this thesis. Can a user learn how a brick wall is constructed, by looking and interacting with the brick wall they sleep within at night? Is it easier for one to understand his/her built environment if the construction is done in a manner that makes the means transparent, versus hidden tricks within the materials. Through the study of honest and truthful use of materials and construction methods, this project explores if a building can teach.<br>Master of Architecture

Abstract:
La compréhension du comportement des structures en maçonneries exposées au feu et la prédiction de leur résistance au feu, sont des besoins majeurs, exprimes par les industriels de la terre cuite, à cause du manque d’études disponibles. L’objectif de ce travail est de construire des outils numériques qui sont capables de prédire le comportement et la tenue au feu des murs de briques alvéolaires en terre cuite, porteurs ou non porteurs, montes avec joints épais en mortier traditionnel ou avec joints minces en mortier colle. Pour cela, des investigations expérimentales à l’échelle de matériau et

A boa construção das paredes de alvenaria, sendo uma das principais fontes de patologia dos edifícios, permite uma resposta eficiente ao vasto leque de requisitos funcionais. A maioria das patologias decorre de uma prática construtiva desadequada ou de uma conceção deficiente. A leg

Abstract:
The determination of strain properties of masonry in the direction parallel to bed joints is a fundamental pre-requisite for designing structures, where masonry is subjected to horizontal stresses (e. g. strengthening with prestressing). The diploma thesis summarized techniques of determination of masonry modulus of elasticity presented in available literature. The goal is to suggest suitable methodology of determination of masonry modulus in direction parallel to the bed joints. In the practical part of the diploma thesis is that methodology verified by experimental test and results of tests

Abstract:
Historic buildings and monuments are a precious finite asset and powerful reminders for future generations of the work and way of life of earlier cultures and civilisations. The stone cleaning and restoration of historic buildings is a crucial element in keeping the good look, integrity and quality of the fine art, method of construction and architecture of previous civilisations. Stone cleaning is one of the most noticeable changes a building can be subjected to, which changes its appearance, persona and environmental context. In this study, a series of physical and chemical tests were conduc

The subject of this diploma thesis is the diagnostic survey of the masonry walls and the connecting bridge in the East Moat of Špilberk Castle. The thesis contains theoretical information about survey and diagnostics of building construction and then evaluation of diagnostic methods used for estimation of essential characteristics of masonry structures. In the practical part the diagnostic investigation of Špilberk Castle walls is processed. That includes determination of material characteristics of the studied structure. In the conclusion there is a suggestion of how to eliminate the structur

Abstract:
Throughout architectural history, the relationship between builder and architect has been ever-changing. Architects traditionally evolved from the building trades with a fundamental understanding of the principals behind construction. Architects have since evolved into a profession based in academics, not in actual tacit knowledge. The current relationship between architects and builders is complex. The Architect questions the ability of the builder. The builder questions the knowledge of the architect. Collaboration has become very difficult. These buildings are an attempt to use the buil
