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 ...

A simplified method for seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry buildings
Civil Engineering and Environmental Systems, 2022The paper presents a simplified vulnerability assessment method for unreinforced masonry buildings based on the evaluation of a few structural parameters, which can be determined from visual inspection and a geometry survey. The authors proposed an empirical approach with the aim to assess the in-plane vulnerability quickly by predicting the damage ...

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

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 ...

SEISMIC FRAGILITY ASSESSMENT OF UNREINFORCED MASONRY AGGREGATE BUILDINGS IN ROW
2020Masonry buildings in Italy represent the majority of the historical and cultural heritage and they very often represent the result of an unbridled urban growth, due to the need to fill all the possible urban spaces. For this reason, aggregate masonry buildings have been generated over the years, allowing the aggregation of different inhomogeneous ...

Pseudo-Dynamic Testing of Unreinforced Masonry Building with Flexible Diaphragm
Journal of Structural Engineering, 2003To complement the computer simulations, component testing, and small-scale shake table tests done by other researchers, a full-scale one-story unreinforced brick masonry specimen having a wood diaphragm was subjected to earthquake excitations using pseudo-dynamic testing.

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.

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

Seismic Performance Evaluation of an Unreinforced Masonry Building in Switzerland
2014Even though Switzerland is situated in a low seismic region, a few damaging earthquakes have occurred in the past. Due to the high population density and high degree of industrialization, Switzerland is considered to have moderate seismic risk. Majority of the existing residential buildings in Switzerland are constructed using unreinforced masonry (URM)

Earthquake Intensity, Damage, and Conservation of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings
Architectural Science Review, 2007Abstract There are precious and historic unreinforced masonry buildings in many countries located in high-risk seismic zones that are prone to serious damage as a consequence of earthquakes. It is not viable to strengthen simultaneously all historic buildings under threat; as a consequence, there is a need for exact planning.
