Abstract:(English) Unreinforced masonry buildings (URM), which prevail in many historic and urban centres, can be considered to be significantly vulnerable to seismic actions due to their peculiar constructive and structural features that could influence their seismic performance, even in low to moderate seismic hazard areas. These existing structures were usually designed considering only gravity loads without any seismic design requirements. Hence, they may endure severe consequences in the event of an earthquake due… Show more
