Journal of earthquake engineering, 2022 A unified procedure for assessing the effectiveness of modelling strategies for existing buildings is proposed. The procedure is applied to unreinforced masonry and cast-in-place and precast reinforced concrete real buildings struck by earthquakes.

Census-based typological usability fragility curves for Italian unreinforced masonry buildings
Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2022 The main vulnerability models available in the literature aim to develop damage fragility curves to estimate the damage level suffered by a building after a seismic event.

Earthquake engineering & structural dynamics (Print), 2021 In the seismic analysis of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures, the modeling of out‐of‐plane (OOP) modes and their mechanical interaction with in‐plane (IP) loaded components are typically neglected when using simplified numerical methods.

Buildings, 2021 Unreinforced masonry (URM) structures are vulnerable to earthquakes; thus, materials and techniques for their strengthening and restoration should be developed. However, the materials used in some of the existing retrofitting technologies for URM and the

Site investigation of masonry buildings damaged during the 23 October and 9 November 2011 Van Earthquakes in Turkey [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013 The purpose of this study is to scrutinize and interpret the damages to masonry buildings after a series of earthquakes that occurred in Van, which is an eastern city of Turkey, within 17 days in 2011, i.e., the first earthquake hit on 23 October having ...

Dynamic one-sided out-of-plane behavior of unreinforced-masonry wall restrained by elasto-plastic tie-rods [PDF]
, 2019 Past earthquakes have shown the high vulnerability of existing masonry buildings, particularly to out-of-plane local collapse mechanisms. Such mechanisms can be prevented if façades are restrained by tie rods improving the connections to perpendiculars ...

Numerical simulation of soft brick unreinforced masonry walls subjected to lateral loads
Cogent Engineering, 2018 Unreinforced soft-brick masonry structures comprise a large portion of buildings in earthquake prone regions of India. Recent earthquakes have extensively damaged such structures.

Masonry wall panels retrofitted with thermal-insulating GFRP-reinforced jacketing [PDF]
, 2015 Today there is a need to provide thermally efficient walls, while at the same time to increase the mechanical properties of old unreinforced masonry walls that will not require large amounts of energy in the retrofitting or deconstruction processes.
