Introduction
Masonry structures constitute a large part of the existing structures throughout the world. A significant part of the existing masonry structures belong to the built cultural heritage. Furthermore, many countries with rich cultural heritage are situated in earthquake-prone areas (in Europe, in Asia, in South America). The built cultural heritage includes unique monuments (temples, churches, castles, palaces, bridges, etc.) and (inhabited and leaving) historic centers. Therefore, there is a continuous need for the preservation of this wealth, whose cultural, historical, social, and economic values cannot be overestimated.
On the other hand, the international scientific community is working quite intensively in the field of preservation of the existing stock of structures, and, thus, the knowledge acquired in the last decades...
