Abstract

This last chapter deals with the study of the seismic behavior of historic masonry buildings. Five problems, particularly, are analyzed in the chapter:

  • evaluation of the seismic response of the anelastic oscillator, representative of the masonry behavior

  • evaluation of the horizontal strength and ductility of the masonry panel, archetype of the building structure

  • definition of the seismic forces acting on a masonry building and analysis of their transmission across its structural components

  • determination of the seismic out of plane strength of masonry walls

  • determination of the seismic in-plane strength of masonry walls with openings.

All the results presented have been obtained in the framework of the Limit Analysis of masonry structures, according to the approach followed in the book. Numerical examples and comparisons with Code prescriptions are given.
