Study of the behaviour of reinforced masonry wallets subjected to diagonal compression through numerical modelling [PDF]

, 2014
Shear walls are subjected to flexure and shear efforts in conjunction with compressive stresses associated to the gravity loads. In shear mode, diagonal cracks develop at the unit-mortar interface or both at the unit-mortar interface and through units as

Seismic capacity of adobe dwellings [PDF]

, 2010
In this paper the seismic capacity of adobe dwellings, in-plane and out-of-plane, is analyzed in terms of the displacement capacity and the period of vibration. For the former, cyclic and dynamic tests carried out at the Catholic University of Peru (PUCP)

Geotechnical hazard representation for seismic risk analysis [PDF]

, 2009
Seismic risk analysis, either deterministic or probabilistic, along with the use of a GIS-environment to represent the results, are helpful tools to support the decision making for planning and prioritizing seismic risk management strategies.
