Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit of Historical Churches
A methodology for evaluating the seismic response capacities of historical churches is presented. Specially calibrated performance objectives, including the issue of cultural value safety, and related acceptance criteria are formulated to this aim. A mixed displacement and strength-based control of response is carried out, by interpreting the results ...
