Brought to light by the 1997 Umbria-Marche (Italy) earthquake for the first time, the theme of
damage patterns of masonry buildings with structural interventions became urgent again in …

A hybrid seismic fragility model for territorial-scale seismic vulnerability assessment of
masonry buildings is developed and presented in this paper. The method combines expert …

The paper focuses on the analysis of the outcomes of some experimental tests carried out in
San Gimignano (Siena, Italy), aimed at measuring the natural frequencies of the medieval …

The complexity of the historical built environment may be reduced by discretizing buildings
in types. At urban scale, typological classifications feed vulnerability models. Several …

Damage surveys following to the Central Italy 2016 seismic swarm have shown that
retrofitting or strengthening interventions on masonry buildings may result in unexpected …

A procedure for the probabilistic assessment of the seismic performance of masonry towers
is developed within the general PEER framework. The ingredients identified for the whole …

The work presents the study carried out to build a database of mechanical properties related
to the most recurring two-leaf stone masonry wall typologies. The main objectives of this …

This article proposes a multidisciplinary approach for the assessment of seismic damage
from the perspective of conservation and prevention. A comparison of the state of damage …

Equivalent frame method (EFM) is a viable modelling option for global seismic analysis of
masonry buildings in comparison to more refined techniques, such as finite elements (FE) …

The strengthening of masonries is a crucial step in building restoration works because of its
relevance, mostly with regard to the improvement of building seismic behavior. Current …
