This work presents a comprehensive strategy for analysing the complex seismic response of
five Italian historical URM buildings, corresponding to different periods until 1920s. One …

It is well known that the seismic structural reliability is not explicitly controlled in design
carried out according to seismic contemporary building codes; that is, those enforcing a …

The study proposed a seismic vulnerability methodology applied to the historical centre of
Castelpoto, located in the province of Benevento (Southern Italy). The seismic vulnerability …

ABSTRACT A unified procedure for assessing the effectiveness of modelling strategies for
existing buildings is proposed. The procedure is applied to unreinforced masonry and cast …

The seismic evaluation of masonry buildings in aggregate, largely diffused within the
existing Italian and European building stock, represents a difficult and open task that has not …

Following the Zagreb earthquake in March of 2020, a destructive 6.2 magnitude earthquake
struck Croatia again in December of 2020. The Sisak-Moslavina county suffered the most …

Performance-based assessment procedures for existing structures based on pushover-like
nonlinear static analyses require the definition of progressive damage states on the …

This special issue of Journal of Earthquake Engineering (JEE) follows a previous one from
2018, which dealt with the results of a research project performed between 2015 and 2017 …

The seismic behaviour of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings is frequently modelled
using macroelements, in the framework of an equivalent‐frame schematisation of the walls …

The research compares the structural analyses discussed by mathematical modeling with
those addressed by structural approaches. It discusses Eigenvalue Analysis, Static …
