“…During the archaeological and seismological research conducted in Armenia by the French National Centre for Scientific Research, between 2004 and 2013, studies have shown that the effects of extreme loads caused by earthquakes have been disastrous for stonework and adobe masonry. According to the study, the adobe blocks were broken by effect of shocks resulting from a nearly vertical acceleration from the ground upward, rather than a static gravity charge in other directions [28].…”

Extreme actions represent a high risk for buildings belonging to historic urban areas and archaeological sites. Because of the conformation of the buildings, the low quality of used materials and the current state of conservation, these buildings tend to be very vulnerable to horizontal forces generated during earthquakes and terrorist attacks. This article analyses the mechanisms caused by extreme actions that are capable to generate a considerable degree of damage or even collapse of international cultural heritage buildings from historic urban centers and sites.
