This paper aims to show some results of seismic assessment of Romanian Orthodox existing
masonry churches, by extending the multi-level approach proposed by the Italian directive …

Unreinforced masonry is one of the main construction materials used in the edification of
most historical buildings around the world. This is due to its availability in nature, low-cost …

In this paper, a novel predictive model for the seismic vulnerability assessment of old Italian
minor historical centres is presented. The proposed methodology is based on the use of …

The paper presents problems related to the safe operation of historic buildings in terms of
their modernization, ie, changing their functions or complex reconstruction. The subject of …

Most international design standards prohibit or necessitate alternative seismic analysis and
