This paper provides a comphrensive review of the critical aspects of nonlinear modeling for
evaluating the seismic response of masonry structures, emphasizing the issues relevant to …

The relevant losses determined by recent earthquakes stressed the vulnerability of historical
masonry constructions towards horizontal seismic actions, therefore highlighting the need …

In this paper a macro-modelling approach for the seismic assessment of Infilled Frame
Structures (IFS) is presented. The interaction between frame and infill is simulated through …

The behavior of historical UnReinforced Masonry (URM) buildings subjected to earthquake
loading is usually governed by a complex interaction between the in-plane and out-of-plane …

Recent earthquakes have demonstrated the high vulnerability of cultural heritage buildings,
whose seismic assessment and rehabilitation constitute an important issue in seismic …

This paper addresses the possibilities of structural component models for the seismic
assessment of masonry buildings using pushover analysis. The ultimate goal is to allow …

The paper reports a comparison among different methods of analysis and different
numerical models to estimate the seismic behaviour of unreinforced masonry buildings with …

Slow-moving landslides are a natural hazard which affects wide areas in the world and often
are cause of significant damage to structures and infrastructures. Analysis of landslide …

The paper reports the results of a blind benchmark developed as a part of the preliminary
activity of the research project RiSEM (Italian acronym for Seismic Risk on Monumental …

The paper presents the comparison of the results obtained on a masonry building by
nonlinear static analysis using different software operating in the field of continuum and …
