Members of the SICon Group publish an article in “Construction and Building Materials”

The article is titled: “Review of recent progress on the compressive behavior of masonry prisms” and is part of the volume 320 of the “Construction and Building Materials” journal, 2022.

The authors of the article are: Gustavo Henrique Nalon, José Carlos Lopes Ribeiro, Leonardo Gonçalves Pedroti, Roberto Marcio da Silva, Eduardo Nery Duarte de Araújo, Rodrigo Felipe Santos, Gustavo Emilio Soares de Lima. The group is formed by researchers from the Departments of Civil Engineering and Physics of the Federal University of Viçosa and the ‎Department of Structural Engineering‎ of the Federal University of Minas Gerais.

This work is a review of articles on masonry prisms that have been widely used in research and quality control of masonry structures as they are simplified models that can represent the interaction between different masonry components.The full abstract and other information about the paper can be found at the link below:
