Post-Earthquake Damage Assessment—Case Study of the Educational Building after the Zagreb Earthquake

In the wake of recent strong earthquakes in Croatia, there is a need for a detailed and more comprehensive post-earthquake damage assessment. Given that masonry structures are highly vulnerable to horizontal actions caused by earthquakes and a majority of the Croatian building stock is made of mason...
