Assessment of the seismic performance of structures is still a challenge. Historic masonry
structures exhibit peculiar properties (low tensile strength and lack of box behavior) that …

Throughout history, dry‐stone masonry structures have been strengthened with different
types of metal connectors in order to increase their resistance which enabled their survival …

Historic religious buildings located in seismic areas have developed different failure
mechanisms. Simulation of failure modes is done using the method of failure blocks …

Many unreinforced masonry structures were vulnerable in the past earthquakes and
required retrofitting. The vulnerability of masonry structures could solve by providing …

Reliable estimation of seismic stability of structures built in seismically active regions is an
objective that requires a complex investigation and different types of activities. For historical …

In this paper a comparison of different modeling strategies for brick masonry panels under
lateral loads is presented. The aim of the study was to evaluate the reliability of numerical …

To evaluate the seismic stability of Mustafa Pasha Mosque in Skopje strengthened by an
advanced mixed technology, shaking table tests were carried out on a model in scale 1: 6 …

This research is motivated by post-earthquake observations of significant structural damage
to minarets during the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. It is thought that the near-fault …
