Displacement-based seismic analysis for out-of-plane bending of unreinforced masonry walls
TL;DR: In this article, a simplified linearized displacement-based procedure is presented along with recommendations for the selection of an appropriate substitute structure in order to provide the most representative analytical results for assessing the seismic resistance of brick masonry walls subject to out-of-plane bending.
Journal ArticleDOI
Generation of synthetic earthquake accelerograms using seismological modelling: a review
TL;DR: In this paper, a stochastically based seismological model is described and used to generate synthetic accelerograms that are considered representative of intraplate earthquake events recorded on rock and compared with a selection of response spectra derived from recorded accelerograms to test and substantiate the model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental investigation of unreinforced brick masonry walls in flexure
TL;DR: In this article, the results of static and dynamic tests on unreinforced brick masonry wall panels subject to out-of-plane loading were presented, and the experimental results indicate that displacement, rather than inertia force amplitude, determines whether a wall will collapse during inertial (seismic) loading.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclic testing of unreinforced masonry walls in two-way bending
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental program was conducted in which eight full-scale unreinforced masonry walls were subjected to cyclic face loading using a system of airbags, and the test walls were found to possess good post-peak strength and displacement capacity as well as reasonable energy dissipation characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Near-surface attenuation modelling based on rock shear-wave velocity profile
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a comprehensive methodology for modeling the shear wave velocity profile in crustal rock, for purposes of seismic hazard assessment, and evaluated the significance of near-surface attenuation in bedrock.
