The reuse of historical centers requires to solve in a reliable manner the problem of seismic analysis of the residential units belonging to building clusters. This impli [...]

The present paper presents a series of FE non-linear dynamic analyses performed on masonry church facades subjected to seismic excitation. The facades are modeled as trul [...]

The object of the paper is the influence of the soil-structure interaction on the dynamic response of masonry towers, for which a high level of stress is involved already [...]

The use of macro-modeling approaches based on the concept of the equivalent strut for simulating infill panels presents a number of critical aspects, mainly related to th [...]

The paper concerns the seismic vulnerability assessment of masonry bell towers in Italy, which is performed by comparing full non-linear dynamic analysis and non-linear s [...]

The paper presents the computational modelling and the seismic damage assessment of a typology of fac¸ade that is recurring among the churches built during the colonial [...]

The paper is focused on the analysis of out–of–plane mechanisms which actually represent the most recurrent collapse mode for the façade of buildings such as churche [...]
