TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed both vulnerability and capacity curves with reference to an assumed typological classification system; moreover, their cross-validation is presented in the paper and the parameters of the two methods and the steps for their operative implementation are provided.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the solutions adopted for the implementation of the equivalent frame model in the TREMURI program for the nonlinear seismic analysis of masonry buildings, which is also expressly recommended in several national and international codes.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied the damage model for mortar joints to an extended approach for the evaluation of the lateral response of in-plane loaded brick masonry shear walls, based on the simplifying assumption of an equivalent stratified medium made up of layers representative of the mortar bed joints and of the brick units and head joints.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the existing modeling strategies for masonry structures, as well as a novel classification of these strategies are presented, which attempts to make some order on the wide scientific production on this field.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss vulnerability assessment methodologies, particularly those of the first level, through the proposal and development of a method previously used to determine the level of vulnerability, in the assessment of physical damage and its relationship with seismic intensity.
