Seismic fragility analysis is performed for the assessment of in-plane mechanisms of existing unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings of Kathmandu Valley. The equivalent fra [...]

The out-of-plane dynamic response of a masonry element is investigated, both experimentally and numerically. The results of shaking table tests on a tuff masonry wall, su [...]

Despite significant advances in computer technology and the increasingly accurate computational models developed during the last decades, the mechanical behavior of large [...]

A macroelement is presented for the nonlinear dynamic analysis of masonry structures under seismic actions. The macroelement, developed in the framework of the equivalent [...]
