The structural safety evaluation of monumental and historical buildings in seismic prone areas requires the availability of appropriate verification tools, in order to ensure both a realistic estimation and the feasibility of the method. In the case of historical masonry structures, such as palaces or churches, local damage mechanisms often take place (e.g., out-of-plane overturning). A procedure to assess the seismic vulnerability of these mechanisms, focusing on the damage limitation state, is developed through equilibrium limit analysis.

Abstract

The structural safety evaluation of monumental and historical buildings in seismic prone areas requires the availability of appropriate verification tools, in order to ensure both a realistic estimation and the feasibility of the method. In the case of historical masonry structures, such as palaces or churches, local damage mechanisms often take place (e.g., out-of-plane overturning). A procedure to assess the seismic vulnerability of these mechanisms, focusing on the damage limitation state, is developed through equilibrium limit analysis. Moreover, the possibility of enriching the formulation, including constructive and technological aspects, which may modify structural response, is shown.
