Abstract
Earthquakes are the main cause of damage for existing and ancient unreinforced (URM) masonry buildings, but the seismic assessment of the latter is a complex task. In fact, they were usually built without any engineered procedure; in addition, they often present features that distinguish them from new modern buildings such as structural irregularities and diaphragms not rigid in their plane. Then, the mechanical response of masonry further complicates a seismic analysis, in fact it shows a distinct nonlinear behavior already for low horizontal forces.File in questo prodotto:
