Vulnerability of Historical Masonry Structures Through Probabilistic Analysis and Forensic Investigation
Abstract eng: The vulnerability of unreinforced masonry structures (URMs) was highlighted during the 2010-2011 Canterbury Earthquake Swarm which impacted the city of Christchurch, New Zealand. In particular, losses from this class of building had a significant influence the extent of damage especially within the central business district (CBD) of Christchurch. Since the earthquakes, research efforts have focused on learning from the impact of these events in order to facilitate seismic risk assessment practices in order to better understand and ultimately help mitigate the expected losses due to URM damage during future events. From these efforts have come empirical studies on the effect that various retrofitting strategies have had on reducing the vulnerability of URM structures and ultimately mitigating damage and loss. Various mitigation strategies have been considered which range in complexity and scope from simply bracing unreinforced masonry parapets to the addition of supplemental lateral bracing.
