The current paper aims at analysing the effect of ground motion vertical component in the
case of near-field excitations on the structural response of historical masonry buildings. In …

The European building stock consists of a large number of unreinforced masonry structures.
Masonry structures proved themselves to be fragile if subjected to horizontal loads …

Tabriz Bazaar is the first Bazaar in the world that was registered in the world heritage list of
the UNESCO in August 2010. Malek Timche is one of the important and beautiful parts of …

This paper discusses the results of an experimental study aimed at evaluating the influence
of the vertical ground motion component on the seismic performance of unreinforced brick …

Current codes and guidelines for the dynamic design of footbridges often only specify the
pedestrian-induced excitations. However, earthquakes may occur during the passing stage …

Throughout time, the area of historical Cairo has been affected by several earthquakes from
near and distant seismogenic zones. The maximum earthquake intensity reported in Cairo is …

With an increase in the width of the steel gabled frame (SGF) span, in general, the structural
mass considerably increases, as a result of which the vertical ground motions can exert …

Numerous aftershocks can be triggered by a strong mainshock and may cause more severe
and widespread structural damage with respect to a single seismic event. This study …

Ground motion selection and scaling to match both horizontal-and vertical-target spectra are
somewhat unclear in state-of-the-art. Two questions often arise:(i) which target spectra …

This study presents a thorough evaluation of the seismic behavior and retrofitting of the
buildings of the Sadaghini historical complex. For this, tests were first carried out on the …
