Analyses of a Two-Story Unreinforced Masonry Building
Journal of Structural Engineering, 2006A variety of elastic and inelastic analytical approaches were used to investigate the response of a full-scale unreinforced masonry (URM) structure tested in the laboratory. Elastic analyses, employing a three-dimensional finite element model, revealed little coupling between parallel walls, and pointed to the appropriateness of two-dimensional ...

Practical seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry historical buildings
Earthquakes and Structures, 2016Rehabilitation of historical unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings is a priority in many parts of the world, since those buildings are a living part of history and a testament of human achievement of the era of their construction. Many of these buildings are still operational; comprising brittle materials with no reinforcements, with spatially ...

Behaviour of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings Subjected to Earthquakes
The Masonry Society Journal, 1991The collapse of unreinforced masonry buildings during an earthquake is the main contributor to the maximum loss of lives and injuries to people and it will continue to be so because an earthquake is a recurring natural calamity. Therefore, there is a need to develop a realistic understanding of the seismic response of masonry buildings, to evolve ...

Unreinforced Masonry Buildings
Unreinforced masonry is one of the earliest materials used in the construction of buildings. Many such buildings were therefore constructed prior to the introduction of seismic design requirements and tend to be highly vulnerable. Their age also means that unreinforced masonry construction often comprises some of our most important buildings from a ...Matthew Fox, Weng Yuen Kam, Damian Grant

Simple Seismic Assessment of Traditional Unreinforced Masonry Buildings
International Journal of Architectural Heritage, 2016ABSTRACTA framework for quick seismic assessment and retrofit of traditional unreinforced masonry (URM) structures is presented. The proposed methods build on simple principles of structural dynamics and are used as an alternative to detailed time-history analysis, in recognition of the prevailing need for simple and practical methods, compatible with ...

Seismic Evaluation of Existing Unreinforced Masonry Building
2012It is well known that masonry buildings suffer a great deal of damage during earthquakes, leading to significant loss of lives. Almost 75% of the fatalities, attributed to earthquake in the last century, are caused by collapse of buildings of which the greatest portion (more than 70%) is due to collapse of masonry buildings. A majority of the tenements

The non‐linear response of unreinforced masonry buildings to earthquake excitations
Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 1992AbstractThe three‐dimensional non‐linear earthquake behaviour of unreinforced masonry buildings is studied by using a constitutive model established experimentally for burned‐clay brick masonry wall panels. The parameter functions appearing in the constitutive model are modified so that they accommodate a wall panel made of a general masonry material ...

Failure of wall–slab joint in unreinforced masonry building
Advances in Structural Engineering, 2016Investigations on buildings severely damaged due to earthquakes or explosions have indicated that unreinforced masonry buildings with simply supported precast concrete floor slabs exhibit deficiencies in resistance to progressive collapse, compared to unreinforced masonry buildings with continuous cast in situ concrete floor slabs.

Seismic Assessment of an Irregular Unreinforced Masonry Building
2020The paper presents a study on a construction, erected in the 1870–1920 period, composed of two interconnected buildings. The main A building is reserved to living, having a basement, ground floor, one story, penthouse and a loft. The building is approximately rectangular with a dead wall on the North side property limit, being connected with the B ...

Assessing fragility functions of unreinforced masonry buildings
STUDIES IN ENGINEERING AND EXACT SCIENCESThe seismic vulnerability entrenched within the historical urban landscapes of Algeria serves as a poignant reminder of the pressing need for comprehensive risk management strategies, particularly concerning low and medium height unreinforced masonry (URM) structures.
