ON THE SEISMIC VULNERABILITY OF EXISTING UNREINFORCED MASONRY BUILDINGS

Journal of Earthquake Engineering, 2003
A large part of the building population in Switzerland is made of unreinforced masonry. For the assessment of the seismic risk the evaluation of the seismic vulnerability of existing unreinforced masonry buildings is therefore crucial. In this paper a method to evaluate existing buildings, which was developed for the earthquake scenario project for ...

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 ...

The non‐linear response of unreinforced masonry buildings to earthquake excitations

Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 1992
AbstractThe 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 ...

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.

Behaviour of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings Subjected to Earthquakes

The Masonry Society Journal, 1991
The 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 ...
