The relevant losses determined by recent earthquakes stressed the vulnerability of historical
masonry constructions towards horizontal seismic actions, therefore highlighting the need …

The paper describes the derivation of fragility curves useful for the seismic risk analyses of
existing unreinforced masonry buildings inserted in aggregate. The L-shaped examined …

Historical masonry aggregates represent a large portion of the cultural heritage in Italy and
are highly vulnerable to seismic actions, as shown by past seismic events. Typically, they …

Recent seismic events in Italy have emphasized the high vulnerability of masonry buildings
in historical centers, which were generally erected in continuity to each other over time …

Masonry building aggregates are complex historical structures comprising interconnected
buildings. The safety of each building depends not only on its structural integrity but also on …

In the wake of recent strong earthquakes in Croatia, there is a need for a detailed and more
comprehensive post-earthquake damage assessment. Given that masonry structures are …

The European building stock consists of a large number of unreinforced masonry structures.
Masonry structures proved themselves to be fragile if subjected to horizontal loads …

This paper presents a novel hybrid-based methodology devoted to develop urban fragility
curves and damage probability matrices to predict likelihood seismic damage scenarios for …

Masonry aggregates have developed throughout city centres of Europe due to a centuries-
long densification process that generally lacked consistent planning or engineering …

Abstract A novel 3D Finite Element Upper Bound limit analysis approach for the evaluation
of the seismic vulnerability of masonry aggregates when the collapse may occur both locally …
