Abstract
Existing Structures: Assessment and Retrofitting
Highlights
[2] Structural response anddesign, The articles in this thematic issue address the aforementioned issues and cover works concerning reinforced concrete and masonry structures as well as a timber roof and a case study
A brief description of each of the articles is presented below: The article “Seismic Behaviour of Masonry Buildings after Interventions of the Load Bearing System” describes the use of finite elements to investigate the response of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures with alterations in the original load bearing system, to strong ground motions
The paper presents the importance of the connection of the floor to the URM walls in the perimeter of the structure which creates a diaphragmatic action that effectively reduces the out-of-plane bending of the perimeter URM walls without excessive local stress intensities, and increases the shear strength of the building
Summary
[2] Structural response and (re)design, The articles in this thematic issue address the aforementioned issues and cover works concerning reinforced concrete and masonry structures as well as a timber roof and a case study. The conclusions of all the papers are very interesting and can be used as a reference for the researchers in the broader area of retrofitting of structures.
