Seismic Rehabilitation of a Common Type of URM Building in Iran
Abstract eng: Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings represent the largest portion of residential buildings in Iran. From this stock a large percentage consists of brick buildings with partial steel members. The main structural elements of such construction are brick walls with flat-arch floors and central steel columns. The current Iranian seismic rehabilitation guidelines include sections dedicated to the evaluation of existing unreinforced masonry buildings without specific remarks about this kind of construction. Reinforced shotcrete, on one face of brick masonry bearing walls, is the most popular seismic retrofit technique of URM buildings in Iran. Two documents of evaluation; Iranian Guideline for the Seismic Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings and FEMA 356 are used for the evaluation of this type of building.
