Abstract
Traditional unreinforced masonry structures are extremely vulnerable to seismic events, featuring large losses in many countries worldwide. This study focuses on the seismic assessment of a traditional masonry structures located in Faial Island—Azores (Portugal), which was hit by an earthquake of M w = 6.2 on 9 July 1998. A set of analyses was conducted through a probabilistic performance-based seismic approach, employing a stochastic finite-fault ground-motion simulation method to derive region-specific records and nonlinear numerical models to compute the capacity of the building. Subsequently, analytical fragility curves were derived considering different seismic scenarios. The results show a significant probability of the structural typology to reach moderate to extensive damage in the case of the specific earthquake, as observed in reality. The study holds significant importance in regions with limited recorded seismic activity, as they offer potential benefits for seismic risk management and mitigation strategies.
期刊介绍:
Earthquake Spectra, the professional peer-reviewed journal of the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute (EERI), serves as the publication of record for the development of earthquake engineering practice, earthquake codes and regulations, earthquake public policy, and earthquake investigation reports. The journal is published quarterly in both printed and online editions in February, May, August, and November, with additional special edition issues.
EERI established Earthquake Spectra with the purpose of improving the practice of earthquake hazards mitigation, preparedness, and recovery — serving the informational needs of the diverse professionals engaged in earthquake risk reduction: civil, geotechnical, mechanical, and structural engineers; geologists, seismologists, and other earth scientists; architects and city planners; public officials; social scientists; and researchers.
