Alternative approach for reproducing the in-plane behaviour of rubble stone walls
Tarque, Nicola; Camata, Guido; Benedetti, Andrea; Spacone, Enrico (US, 2017)Stone masonry is one of the oldest construction types due to the natural and free availability of stones and the relatively easy construction. Since stone masonry is brittle, it is also very vulnerable and in the case of ... -
Building constructions characteristics and mechanical properties of confined masonry walls in San Miguel (Puno-Peru)
Tarque, Nicola; Pancca-Calsin, Erika (US, 2022)House self-construction and self-management are very common in different cities in Peru, which is the case in several areas in the district of San Miguel (Puno). This is due to the lack of financial resources to hire ... -
Development of a Fragility Model for the Residential Building Stock in South America
Villar-Vega, Mabé; Silva, Vitor; Crowley, Helen; Yepes, Catalina; Tarque, Nicola; Acevedo, Ana Beatriz; Hube, Matías A. A.; Gustavo, Coronel D.; Santa María, Hernán (US, 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 ... -
Development of fragility curves for confined masonry buildings in Lima, Peru
Lovon, Holger; Tarque, Nicola; Silva, Vitor; Yepes-Estrada, Catalina (US, 2018)This paper aims at investigating the seismic fragility of confined masonry (CM) structures in Lima, Peru, which can be used to perform earthquake scenarios at urban scale. A database describing the geometric properties ... -
Displacement-Based Fragility Curves for Seismic Assessment of Adobe Buildings in Cusco, Peru
Tarque, Nicola; Crowley, Helen; Pinho, Rui; Varumd, Humberto (US, 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 ... -
Masonry infilled frame structures: state-of-the-art review of numerical modelling
Tarque, Nicola; Candido, Leandro; Camata, Guido; Spacone, Enrico (US, 2015)This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the nonlinear modelling techniques available today for describing the structural behaviour of masonry infills and their interaction with frame structures subjected to in-plane ... -
Multi-criteria analysis of five reinforcement options for Peruvian confined masonry walls
Tarque, Nicola; Salsavilca, Jhoselyn; Yacila, Jhair; Camata, Guido (US, 2019)In Peru, construction of dwellings using confined masonry walls (CM) has a high percentage of acceptance within many sectors of the population. It is estimated that only in Lima, 80% of the constructions use CM and at least ... -
Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of a Full-Scale Unreinforced Adobe Model
Tarque, Nicola; Camata, Guido; Spacone, Enrico; Varum, Humberto; Blondet, Marcial (US, 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, ... -
Numerical simulation of an adobe wall under in-plane loading
Tarque, Nicola; Camata, Guido; Varum, Humberto; Spacone, Enrico; Blondet, Marcial (US, 2014)Adobe is one of the oldest construction materials that is still used in many seismic countries, and different construction techniques are found around the world. The adobe material is characterized as a brittle material; ... -
Rope mesh as a seismic reinforcement for two‑storey adobe Buildings
Tarque, Nicola; Blondet, Marcial; Vargas‑Neumann, Julio; Yallico‑Luque, Ramiro (US, 2022)Throughout the world, millions of people are at risk because they live in unreinforced earthen dwellings, which have consistently shown extremely poor structural behaviour during earthquakes. Every single earthquake occurring ...
