A Discrete Macro Element Method for Modelling Ductile Steel Frames around the Openings of URM Buildings as Low Impact Retrofitting Strategy
This paper adopts the use of steel frames around existing openings as a low-impact seismic retrofitting strategy for unreinforced masonry structures (URM). Although elastic steel frames have been commonly adopted for strengthening masonry walls in case of the realization of new openings, the use of...
