“…It has been demonstrated by Leite et al (2012) that there is a good correspondence in the case of churches between the results of the safety evaluation process and the relative attribution of safety placards, with the fitness for use (FFU) index and the damage index I d derived from the damage assessment forms used by the Italian Civil Protection.…”

The sequence of earthquakes that has affected Christchurch and Canterbury since September 2010 has caused damage to a great number of buildings of all construction types. Following post-event damage surveys performed between April 2011 and June 2011, an inventory of the stone masonry buildings in Christchurch and surrounding areas was carried out in order to Downloaded by [Brandon University GST] at 05A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 2 assemble a database containing the characteristic features of the building stock, as a basis for studying the vulnerability factors that might have influenced the seismic performance of the stone masonry building stock during the Canterbury earthquake sequence. The damage suffered by unreinforced stone masonry buildings is reported and different types of observed failures are described using a specific survey procedure currently in use in Italy. The observed performance of seismic retrofit interventions applied to stone masonry buildings is also described, as an understanding of the seismic response of these interventions is of fundamental importance for assessing the utility of such strengthening techniques when applied to unreinforced stone masonry structures.

“…The first study considered all URM buildings in the Christchurch CBD and was undertaken at the request of the Canterbury Earthquakes Royal Commission (Ingham and Griffith 2011c). A third companion study considering the seismic performance of 112 Christchurch churches (including 20 clay brick and 32 stone URM churches) has been reported elsewhere (Leite et al 2013).

The progressive damage and subsequent demolition of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings arising from the Canterbury earthquake sequence is reported. A dataset was compiled of all URM buildings located within the Christchurch CBD, including information on location, building characteristics, and damage levels after each major earthquake in this sequence. A general description of the overall damage and the hazard to both building occupants and to nearby pedestrians due to debris falling from URM buildings is presented with several case study buildings used to describe the accumulation of damage over the earthquake sequence. The benefit of seismic improvement techniques that had been installed to URM buildings is shown by the reduced damage ratios reported for increased levels of retrofit. Demolition statistics for URM buildings in the Christchurch CBD are also reported and discussed.

Seismic Vulnerability of Reinforced Concrete Frame with Unreinforced Masonry Infill Due to Main Shock–Aftershock Earthquake Sequences

This paper presents a parametric study on the inelastic response of six-story reinforced concrete (RC) frames subjected to mainshock-aftershock (MS-AS) ground motions. For this purpose, bare frame (BF), and four masonry RC frames with two infill thicknesses (75 or 125 mm) and two infill patterns (open ground story or fully infilled) are considered. They are situated at site class C in Vancouver, Canada, and are designed for office occupancy according to the 2005 National Building Code of Canada. The five frames are subjected to hundred ensembles of MS-AS ground motions scaled to seismic hazard level corresponding to the return period of 2500 years. For each sequence of earthquakes, change in the fundamental period (T 1 ) and inter-story drift (ISD) for both MS-AS sequences are quantified. The analysis results show that the period change and ISD were significant for BF, whereas the infilled frames sustained small damage with negligible change in T 1 .
