Simplified indexes for the seismic vulnerability of ancient masonry buildings [PDF]
Abstract This paper presents a contribution for the safety assessment of historical masonry buildings under seismic loading. Three different simplified safety indexes (in-plan area ratio, area to weight ratio and base shear ratio) are analyzed, taking into account a large sample of 58 Portuguese churches.
