Seismic assessment and improvement of unreinforced stone masonry buildings
Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2016 Following the 2010/2011 Canterbury earthquakes considerable effort was applied to the task of developing industry guidance for the seismic assessment, repair and strengthening of unreinforced masonry buildings. The recently updated “Section 10” of NZSEE 2006 is one of the primary outputs from these efforts, in which a minor amount of information is ...
