This webinar will discuss some nonlinear static analysis strategies to assist with the retrofit of existing masonry buildings and the design of new structures. Reference will be made to the Eurocodes and other national codes. Focus will then move to nonlinear static and linear kinematic analysis, representing the methods most commonly adopted in practice.

In this webinar the concept of knowledge of a masonry building for the purpose of seismic evaluation with non-linear static analysis will be discussed. Reference will be made to the Eurocode and other national codes. The concept of confidence factors will be discussed as well as the most common in situ tests to obtain information about material properties

This webinar will discuss some nonlinear static analysis strategies to assist with the retrofit of existing masonry buildings and the design of new structures. Reference will be made to the Eurocodes and other national codes.

This webinar will discuss some of the main issues with the equivalent-frame discretisation of walls with irregular opening distributions. Several cases will be analysed and practical solutions will be proposed.

Global seismic analyses of masonry buildings rely on the assumption that local mechanisms are inhibited. However, these mechanisms have often been responsible of major damage and collapses in past earthquakes. This webinar will discuss some retrofit solutions to prevent their activation, by improving connections among intersecting walls and between walls and diaphragms

This webinar will focus on new strengthening techniques for masonry walls, based on the application of FRCM materials or timber elements. Experimental findings and analytical tools will be presented.

This webinar will present a comprehensive study on the vulnerability of masonry buildings subjected to seismicity induced by gas extractions. Several experimental tests carried out at various scales, ranging from single components to entire buildings, will be discussed. The use of these results to develop reliable equivalent-frame numerical models will be finally discussed.

Historical city centers are often characterized by building aggregates, where adjacent structural units share some structural walls. Different construction times and techniques, as well as practical difficulties in collecting information about all structural units in an aggregate, make their interaction challenging to understand and model. This webinar will focus on some of these issues.
