Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of a Full-Scale Unreinforced Adobe Model
(2014)
This paper describes the results of a numerical study of a full-scale adobe building model tested on a shaking table. Material properties of adobe masonry were calibrated to represent the wall in-plane seismic behavior, ...
Displacement-Based Fragility Curves for Seismic Assessment of Adobe Buildings in Cusco, Peru
(2012)
The seismic vulnerability of single-story adobe dwellings located in Cusco, Peru, is studied based on a mechanics-based procedure, which considers the analysis of in-plane and out-of-plane failure mechanisms of walls. The ...
Development of a Fragility Model for the Residential Building Stock in South America
(2017)
South America—in particular, the Andean countries—are exposed to high levels of seismic hazard, which, when combined with the elevated concentration of population and properties, has led to an alarming potential for human ...
