Evaluating the earthquake economic loss of building clusters is an essential index to
measure regional seismic risk and resilience. This study developed a rapid financial loss …

Evaluating the seismic vulnerability of regional group structures is essential for effectively
quantifying the seismic resilience and risk analysis of regional cities. To study the degree of …

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 equivalent frame (EF) idealisation of masonry structures is widely used in engineering
structures. Despite its simplifications, reliable numerical models can be produced to …

The damage level (DL) is a fundamental metric in earthquake engineering and is particularly
effective for multiple purposes, such as correlating structural damage to consequences and …

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 …

The work aims at discussing the influence of modeling assumptions on the seismic
assessment of Unreinforced Masonry (URM) structures when the Finite Element (FE) and …

The paper focuses on an emblematic case study, consisting of an unreinforced stone
masonry school damaged after the Central Italy 2016 earthquakes. The proposed case …

Recent earthquakes have shown susceptibility of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings to
damage accumulation in seismic sequences or long duration ground motions. Current …
