Displacement-Based Fragility Curves for Seismic Assessment of Adobe Buildings in Cusco, Peru
(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 ... -
Expected Ground Motion at the Historical Site of Poggio Picenze, Central Italy, with reference to current Italian Building Code
(US, 2013)The amplification of the ground motion at the surface is greatly influenced by the geotechnical characteristics of the soil formations below the ground surface. Traditionally, analyses of the ground response are deterministic, ... -
Numerical simulation of an adobe wall under in-plane loading
(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; ... -
Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of a Full-Scale Unreinforced Adobe Model
(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, ... -
Masonry infilled frame structures: state-of-the-art review of numerical modelling
(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 ... -
Development of a Fragility Model for the Residential Building Stock in South America
(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 ... -
Alternative approach for reproducing the in-plane behaviour of rubble stone walls
(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 ... -
Development of fragility curves for confined masonry buildings in Lima, Peru
(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 ... -
Experimental assessment of confined masonry walls retrofitted with SRG under lateral cyclic loads
(US, 2019)Around the world, many informal masonry buildings have collapsed due to the failure of their bearing walls under lateral seismic loads. This is related to the many involved factors, such the quality of the materials, the ... -
Multi-criteria analysis of five reinforcement options for Peruvian confined masonry walls
(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 ... -
Rope mesh as a seismic reinforcement for two‑storey adobe Buildings
(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 ... -
Building constructions characteristics and mechanical properties of confined masonry walls in San Miguel (Puno-Peru)
(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 ...
