IJMRI proposes and fosters discussion on the mechanics of masonry structures, with emphasis on a variety of topics including theoretical investigations, numerical approaches and technical applications in new works, repair practice and built heritage preservation. This perspective acknowledges the complexity of the masonry research sector, bridging between theory and application, with a readership spanning across from academia to industry.
Topics covered include
- Theoretical/numerical analysis of masonry structures
- Earthquake resistance and traditional-innovative retrofitting
- Masonry and building physics
- Repair and strengthening
- Conservation of historic buildings
- Codes and standards
- Innovation and sustainability of masonry
- New construction techniques/technologies
- Architecture with masonry
- Masonry materials and testing
- New developments in design/verification
- Reliability and performance
- Emblematic case studies
- Fire resistance
Objectives
The objective of IJMRI is the publication and dissemination of original research devoted to masonry structures and innovation in new construction, repair and built heritage conservation. It therefore aims to provide a broad blend of scientific and technical papers, favouring exchange of ideas among theoreticians and practitioners active in different fields, including civil engineering, architecture, material science, cultural heritage, applied mathematics and others. The emphasis is placed on analytical, experimental, numerical and/or technological contributions of interest to researchers and practitioners in the field of masonry research and innovation. The journal will include information on aspects such as existing built heritage and new construction, including state-of-the-art aspects of innovative materials, construction technologies, design approaches, sustainability, energy efficiency, comfort, codes and regulations, emblematic case studies, historic buildings, training and education, among others.
Readership
Readership spans across from academia to industry, including, but not limited to:
- Academic: Graduate students and researchers
- Faculties: Staff members from departments of architecture, engineering (including civil, mechanical and material science) and conservation and restoration
- Practitioners: Civil engineers and architects
- Industry: Building industry in general (brick/block masonry producers, mortar producers, FRP and steel producers, advanced materials for repair and strengthening producers)
Contents
IJMRI publishes original papers, review papers, technical reports, case studies and book reviews. Special Issues devoted to important topics in masonry research will occasionally be published.

Grounds for concern in The Netherlands
16 May, 2025
A new modelling technique discussed in the International Journal of Masonry Research and Innovation shows how building risks associated with land subsidence in The Netherlands can be determined. Land subsidence, when the ground sinks due to either natural or human-induced factors, or both, is becoming an increasingly serious issue in many parts of the world, particularly in low-lying regions like The Netherlands. According to Alfonso Prosperi, Michele Longo, Paul A. Korswagen, Mandy Korff, and Jan G. Rots of Delft University of Technology in Stevinweg, The Netherlands, this phenomenon, exacerbated by climate change, threatens buildings, infrastructure, and the very fabric of urban environments [...]
