This paper provides a comphrensive review of the critical aspects of nonlinear modeling for
evaluating the seismic response of masonry structures, emphasizing the issues relevant to …

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 …

A hybrid seismic fragility model for territorial-scale seismic vulnerability assessment of
masonry buildings is developed and presented in this paper. The method combines expert …

Perforations adversely affect the structural response of unreinforced masonry walls (UMW)
by reducing the wall's load bearing capacity, which can cause serious structural damage. In …

Abstract On May 11, 2011 at 6: 47p. m., an M5. 1 earthquake took place in Lorca at a depth
of 4 km, in the Region of Murcia, south of Spain, which resulted in nine fatalities and 324 …

This paper focuses on seismic fragility and damage scenario assessment of minor Italian
historical centres through the development of urban fragility curves. With reference to the …

It is generally accepted that infilled walls play an important role in the structural response to
seismic excitation, and most studies have ignored the influence of constructional columns …

The steel tubular-corrugated steel plate confined concrete composite column (S-CSC
column) and the reinforced concrete beam with U-shaped corrugated steel webs (U-SCC …

With the aim to provide an insight on the effectiveness of existing formulae for the flexural
and shear strength of masonry piers and spandrels, this paper reports and compares results …

Structural evaluation of masonry against dynamic seismic actions invariably requires
appropriate cyclic compression constitutive models. However, not many research studies …
