Dynamic response of URM buildings with flexible diaphragms
As seismic awareness increases, especially in traditionally non-seismic regions, there is an ever-increasing need to evaluate the lateral resistance of existing structures. Unreinforced masonry (URM) structures are perceived to be seismically unsafe due to dramatic media coverage of these …

Improved seismic analysis of unreinforced masonry buildings with flexible diaphragms
The presence of flexible timber diaphragms in many existing unreinforced masonry buildings poses a significant challenge for the assessment of their seismic vulnerability. When diaphragms are flexible, different parts of a structure can interact with each other dynamically, in a way not typically …

Seismic Response of Low -Rise Shear Wall Structures With Flexible Diaphragms
In this study, simple methods to more accurately estimate peak interstory drifts that account for higher mode effects are described for low-rise perimeter shear wall structures. The proposed methods are based on the principal modes obtained from a principal components analysis (PCA) of computed …

Assessment of Perforated Unreinforced Masonry Walls Responding In-Plane
… the in_ plane loaded walls of URM buildings with flexible diaphragms was developed and validated through the use of non-linear time history modelling.

Role of timber diaphragms in the seismic response of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings
… in this thesis was focused on timber floor diaphragms in unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. The work was divided into two phases. The first phase was aimed at the investigation of the effects of the in-plane behavior of timber diaphragms on the global seismic response of URM buildings. …
