This book presents a selection of the best papers from the HEaRT
2015 conference, held in Lisbon, Portugal, which provided a
valuable forum for engineers and architects, researchers and
educators to exchange views and findings concerning the
technological history, construction features and seismic behavior
of historical timber-framed walls in the Mediterranean countries.
The topics covered are wide ranging and include historical aspects
and examples of the use of timber-framed construction systems in
response to earthquakes, such as the gaiola system in Portugal and
the Bourbon system in southern Italy; interpretation of the
response of timber-framed walls to seismic actions based on
calculations and experimental tests; assessment of the
effectiveness of repair and strengthening techniques, e.g., using
aramid fiber wires or sheets; and modelling analyses. In addition,
on the basis of case studies, a methodology is presented that is
applicable to diagnosis, strengthening and improvement of seismic
performance and is compatible with modern theoretical principles
and conservation criteria. It is hoped that, by contributing to the
knowledge of this construction technique, the book will help to
promote conservation of this important component of Europe's
architectural heritage.
