Sensitivity Assessment of the Seismic Response of a Masonry Palace via Non-Linear Static Analysis: A Case Study in L’Aquila (Italy)

The city of L’Aquila (Italy) includes a significant amount masonry palaces erected from the middle 13th century up to first half 20th century. This paper focuses on seismic response palace built during and characterized by regularity in plan elevation. authors investigate varying suite modelling parameters that express actual scatter mechanical properties typical L’Aquila. discuss performance exhibited this building 2009 earthquake. Then, they assess sensitivity selected building’s via non-linear static analysis masonry, in-plane stiffness floors, resistance spandrels. parametric shows three variables markedly affect shear resistance, ultimate displacement, behavior factors. fragility functions were then estimated results analysis. A probability collapse for considered limit states reveals limitations typological approaches palaces.
