Seismic vulnerability of historical masonry structures with irregular geometry

Seismic vulnerability of historical masonry structures with irregular geometry

Historical masonry buildings with irregular geometric layouts, which cover a large floor area, display poor seismic behaviour. Stresses occur because of irregularities in plan or elevation, and consequent unbalanced mass distributions. The gravity and earthquake analyses are applied in this study on...
