Strengthening of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings

Journal of Structural Engineering, 1986
A method is proposed for rehabilitation and strengthening of multi-wythe unreinforced brick masonry walls in buildings where they are the primary structural element for transferring load to the foundation. Shear tests were performed to determine the strength of newly manufactured small-scale specimens made with cement grout, sand/polyester grouts, and ...

Seismic Assessment of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings

Applied Mechanics and Materials, 2016
The first case study used in this work is an existing seven-storey unreinforced masonry building (representing a typical residential building located in the district of L ́Example in Barcelona). The accuracy of the non-linear static procedures was evaluated by comparison with non-linear dynamic analyses for seven ground motion records and different ...

Identify seismically vulnerable unreinforced masonry buildings using deep learning

Applications of Machine Learning 2021, 2021
Every year, 60,000 lives are lost worldwide from disasters.1 Building collapse during earthquakes account for the majority of these deaths.2 Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings are particularly vulnerable during seismic events due to the brittle nature of the construction material. Many communities have undertaken costly and timely mitigation programs

RESPONSE OF UNREINFORCED MASONRY BUILDINGS

Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 1997
A summary of dynamic measurements are presented that illustrate relations between linear seismic demand and true nonlinear response of unreinforced masonry buildings with flexible diaphragms and rocking piers subjected to a series of simulated earthquake motions.

Seismic Resistance Evaluation of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings

Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2007
The article presents seismic resistance evaluation study of unreinforced brick masonry buildings. The study was carried out as part of the Ph.D. research work of the first author. As part of the study, in addition to the standard laboratory tests, a dynamic field test was carried out on single-story, single-room unreinforced masonry structure.
