Unreinforced masonry non-structural infills in RC structures are widely used in many countries. However, they are often designed with simplified methods which do not cons [...]

The current approach of the Italian and European building codes to account for knowledge-based uncertainties in the seismic assessment of masonry buildings consists in se [...]

Poor performance of reinforced concrete infilled frame buildings observed in recent post-earthquake reconnaissance may underline a deficiency in our knowledge on the seis [...]

Within the European FP7 Project "INSYSME", the research unit of the University of Pavia has conceived a new seismic resistant masonry infill system with sliding joints, w [...]

The assessment of the out-of-plane response of masonry has been largely investigated in literature assuming walls responding as rigid blocks or assemblies of rigid bodies [...]

This paper deals with the computation of the collapse risk of new masonry buildings designed according to the Italian Building Code. Companion papers describe the overall [...]

Within the European FP7 Project “INSYSME”, the research unit of the University of Pavia has conceived a new seismic resistant clay masonry infill system with the purp [...]

In the numerical modelling of flexural behaviour of masonry buildings by means of macroelement models, it is important to account for the limited compressive strength and [...]

A method for comparing probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) results with historical macroseismic observations is proposed, with specific application to the South- [...]

Since the number of victims and the amount of economic losses are closely related to the seismic performance of structures, in the last decades significant relevance has [...]
