Abstract
This study details a seismic risk assessment of stone and adobe masonry structures in the Agios Dometios Municipality, Nicosia, Cyprus. The study integrates field inspections using the PRISM survey form, designed exclusively for masonry buildings, with advanced analytical procedures. The initial phase involves comprehensive field inspections to evaluate the structural condition and vulnerabilities of these historic masonry buildings. The data gathered from these inspections provide essential insights into potential seismic risks. This data, alongside fragility curves generated from 3D finite element (FE) models using nonlinear time-history analysis, informs the creation of seismic risk maps for Agios Dometios. These maps offer a comprehensive depiction of the area's seismic vulnerability, particularly concerning the masonry structures, serving as invaluable resources for local authorities and conservationists in strategizing preservation and reinforcement measures, and in formulating mitigation plans. This study's approach, blending field inspections with advanced computational analysis, provides a robust framework for assessing the seismic risks of masonry structures. It holds significant implications for preserving architectural heritage in seismically active regions, offering a model that can be replicated in similar urban contexts.
