This paper describes a method developed to evaluate the seismic performance of old masonry buildings, which allows identifying the expected structural collapse mechanism of the structure. The collapse mechanism is identified by the accumulation of several damaged structural elements in specific points of the structure. The methodology allows simulating the non-linear behaviour of masonry buildings...
This paper describes the application of the iterative method described in Part I (Cardoso R, Lopes M, Bento, R, Seismic Evaluation of Old Masonry Buildings. Part I: Method Description and Application to a Case Study, Engineering Structures, 2005) to the seismic strengthening design of irregular block masonry structures. The method was applied to an old masonry building from the city of Lisbon, which...
