In the seismic performance assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) frames, a reliable estimation capacity unreinforced masonry (URM) infill walls is utmost importance to ensure structural safety conditions. With particular attention out-of-plane (OoP) URM after in-plane (IP) damage, issue defining analytical prediction models for an ongoing study. this paper, empirical equations are proposed eva...

This paper presents an accurate and efficient computational strategy for the simulation of coupled masonry structures which combines a partitioned mesoscale modelling approach for brick-masonry components with a mortar mesh tying method for non-conforming interfaces. This allows the independent modelling of the individual structural components and the efficient tying of the subdomains with accu...

Approximately 30% of Turkey's population lives in rural areas and they are seated structures, which called unreinforced masonry building (URM). These types buildings consist mudbrick structures with wooden carcasses, masonry-adobe supports, brick briquette supported by reinforced concrete lintels. The construction is easy low cost because the availability materials such as masonry, so it freque...

This paper presents a benchmark exercise for the seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings as follow-up blind prediction test organized in context European Conference Earthquake Engineering Series. The was aimed at better defining open issues current procedures modeling and performing analysis URM buildings, by highlighting uncertainty that can influence results. work an overvi...
