Adriseismic Methodology for Expeditious Seismic Assessment of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings

The paper describes a novel Adriseismic method for expeditious assessment of seismic risk associated with unreinforced masonry buildings. methodology was developed the project Interreg ADRION programme, aim to develop and share tools increasing cooperation reducing six participating countries within region surrounding Adriatic Ionian Seas. is applicable buildings characterised by three main failure mechanisms, namely disintegration, out-of-plane failure, in-plane damage/failure. Depending on input parameters specific structure, yields qualitative output that consists quality index, index structural response, level risk, most probable collapse mechanism. Both are applied in spreadsheet form. has so far been urban areas project, including Mirandola, Italy; Kaštela, Croatia; Belgrade, Serbia. In parallel, validated performing detailed more than 25 buildings, results have compared proposed method. show good correlation between two methods, example, response obtained from capacity/demand ratio conventional
