Since the late 1970s, nonlinear static analysis have had an increasing use in the seismic assessment of existing unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. Different modelling …
The seismic analysis of masonry buildings requires reliable nonlinear models as effective tools for both design of new buildings and assessment and retrofitting of existing ones …
Despite significant research advances on the seismic response analysis, there is still an urgent need for validation of numerical simulation methods for prediction of earthquake …
The paper describes the derivation of fragility curves useful for the seismic risk analyses of existing unreinforced masonry buildings inserted in aggregate. The L-shaped examined …
An extensive experimental campaign has been conducted at EUCENTRE to understand the dynamic behavior of historic stone masonry structures and evaluate the seismic …
