Dynamic Response of Unreinforced Masonry Building
Journal of the Earthquake Engineering Society of Korea, 2004 The seismic behavior of a 1/3-scale model of a two-story unreinforced masonry (URM) structure typically used in constructing low-rise residential buildings in Korea is studied through a shaking table test. The purposes of this study are to investigate seismic behavior and damage patterns of the URM structure that was not engineered against seismic ...

Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2019 TThe supports of out-of-plane loaded unreinforced masonry walls in buildings are subjected to a motion that is filtered and amplified by the building structure and, in some cases, can be significantly different from the ground motion.

Assessment of Existing Masonry Resistance Using Partial Factors Approaches and Field Measurements
Buildings, 2023 The vast majority of existing structures in Croatia, as well as in other European countries, are made of unreinforced masonry. The seemingly ideal building material presents a great challenge for engineers in earthquake-prone zones. Given that structural

Uncertainty in Seismic Capacity of Masonry Buildings
Buildings, 2012 Seismic assessment of masonry structures is plagued by both inherent randomness and model uncertainty. The former is referred to as aleatory uncertainty, the latter as epistemic uncertainty because it depends on the knowledge level. Pioneering studies on

Seismic response of stone masonry building with wooden band
Structural Mechanics of Engineering Constructions and Buildings, 2020 Most stone-masonry structures were built at a time when seismic risk was not considered in their design. Recent moderate to strong earthquakes have confirmed the vulnerability of heritage buildings, especially those constructed with unreinforced-masonry ...
