DOI: 10.1016/j.jobe.2021.103162
Abstract: Abstract The seismic risk of old unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings is inherently high due to their non-ductile behavior. Masonry buildings constructed without seismic resistance characteristics have performed poorly in previous earthquakes. There is a clear… read more here.
