چکیده
Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings are highly vulnerable to seismic ground motion, calling for quantitative risk assessment and mitigation programmes in different earthquake-prone countries reduce future losses. Despite the effectiveness of base isolation technology reducing response buildings, high costs conventional isolators prevent their application low-cost housing developing countries. Fiber-reinforced elastomeric (FREIs) have been recently developed as suitable URM buildings. The structural performance isolated using FREIs can be a sustainable solution large-scale risk. In this context, present study presents fragility analysis both fixed-base base-isolated Five building archetypes were considered account variation geometry configuration. A number static pushover analyses nonlinear time history carried out assess capacity demand selected respectively, while considering uncertainties associated with material properties, model, damage state earthquake motion. curves configurations archetypes. results show that probability slight moderate is significantly higher than counterparts, demonstrating improve performance. These outcomes address further research promoting development vulnerability

Scaling unreinforced masonry for reduced-scale seismic testing
When testing multi-storey structures, most testing facilities require the testing of a reduced-scale model. A literature review on tests of scaled masonry structural components revealed that scaling of masonry was rather challenging and often significant differences in stiffness, strength and failure mechanisms between the different sized masonry were reported. This paper addresses the scaling ...
متن کاملSeismic Design of Box-Type Unreinforced Masonry Buildings Through Direct Displacement-Based Approach
In the last decade, displacement-based seismic design procedures have been recognised to be effective alternatives to force-based design (FBD) methods. Indeed, displacement based design (DBD) may allow the structural engineer to get more realistic predictions of local and global deformations of the structure, and hence damage, under design earthquakes. This facilitates the achievement of perfor...
متن کاملDamage Accumulation in Unreinforced Masonry Due to Seismic Loading
Masonry has low cohesive strength and is susceptible to the brittle failure, when subjected to induced tensile stresses. It fails due to lateral tensile stresses even when masonry prisms are tested in uni-axial static compression and the stress-strain curve remains almost linear up to failure. Although masonry normally resists compressive forces, under lateral in-plane cyclic loads some parts o...
متن کاملTowards Displacement-Based Seismic Design of Modern Unreinforced Masonry Structures
Unreinforced masonry (URM) structures are known to be rather vulnerable to seismic loading. Modern URM buildings with reinforced concrete (RC) slabs might, however, have an acceptable seismic performance for regions of low to moderate seismicity. In particular in countries of moderate seismicity it is often difficult to demonstrate the seismic safety of modern URM buildings by means of force-ba...
متن کاملUncertainty in Seismic Capacity of Masonry Buildings
Seismic assessment of masonry structures is plagued by both inherent randomness and model uncertainty. The former is referred to as aleatory uncertainty, the latter as epistemic uncertainty because it depends on the knowledge level. Pioneering studies on reinforced concrete buildings have revealed a significant influence of modeling parameters on seismic vulnerability. However, confidence in me...
