During earthquakes, masonry buildings are the most affected, and
consequently, damage to these buildings leads to massive loss of
life and property. Masonry buildings comprise probably the greatest
share of overall housing stock, and in turn, understanding their
performance during earthquakes is a pivotal problem in seismic
regions. Masonry Construction in Active Seismic Regions presents
details on the kinds of masonry building found in seismic regions
of the world. The title describes interventions, such as
retrofitted solutions, dynamic identification, and improved
construction after earthquakes, that are equally applicable to
regions of moderate and high seismicity. The book covers
representative masonry buildings from active seismic regions, the
material properties of masonry construction, numerical modelling
techniques and computational advances, seismic performance of
non-engineered masonry buildings, resilience in typical
construction, retrofitting, and the cultural values and structural
characterization of heritage masonry buildings in active seismic
regions. This book is unique in its global and systematic coverage
of masonry construction in seismic regions.
