Response of an unreinforced masonry building during the Loma Prieta earthquake
… structure of this study is a two-story historic building and former firehouse located in downtown Gilroy, California. The structure was built in 1890 and it is one of the first URM buildings that has been both instrumented and subjected to a moderate earthquake in U.S. history. Recorded peak …

Seismic analysis of Fire Station No. One: a historic unreinforced masonry building
… the long-standing belief that unreinforced masonry structures are critically vulnerable to failure during earthquakes. A substantial number of older structures in the United States have unreinforced masonry construction. Among these are important historic structures, vital to preserving …

An experimental study of the response of reinforced masonry building systems to earthquake motions
… the dynamic response of reinforced concrete masonry building structures. Two reduced-scale reinforced masonry perforated shear wall structures were subjected to simulated earthquake motions on a shaking table. A third was tested using conventional static methods to provide insight into …

Structural performance of early 20th century masonry high rise buildings
Early generation high rise buildings built between 1890 and World War 11 represent a technical transition between traditional load bearing masonry construction and modern curtain wall systems, and are typically referred to as 'transitional masonry buildings'. These structures comprise a large …

Investigation of impregnants for low-cost buildings
Masonry building materials are more or less permeable. Water is the most significant factor in building deterioration by capillary water penetration. Impregnation of masonry with water repellents particularly with silicone impregnants is the most successful method of protection of masonry from …

Seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry buildings in Boston's Back Bay neighborhood
… a seismic evaluation of the unreinforced masonry buildings in Boston Massachusetts's historical Back Bay neighborhood. This Boston district, famous for its rows of Victorian brownstone residences is considered to be one of the best preserved examples of 19 'h century urban design. There …

Experimental analysis of the efficiency of carbon fiber anchors applied over CFRP to firebrick bonded joints
In these recent years, the strengthening of masonry building has known a massive use of CFRP sheets. Those composite materials glued on the elements to reinforce are exposed to prematurely debonding crisis due to a tension load which is much smaller than the tensile strength of the CFRP. A way to …

Dynamic Analysis and Seismic Retrofit of the Point Sur Lighthouse
… Point Sur Lighthouse is an unreinforced stone masonry building completed in 1889 on the central coast of California. The lighthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is still an active aid to navigation. The original first-order Fresnel lens was removed from the lantern …

In-Plane Shear Wall Performance As Affected by Compressed Earth Block Shape
… blocks. Compressed earth blocks are a type of masonry where the blocks are composed of compressed soil and typically dry-stacked without mortar. Prior research has demonstrated that the in-plane shear strength of these blocks falls far short of capacities predicted by conventional masonry …

Optimization of timber-based strengthening techniques for the seismic retrofit of existing masonry buildings
… the seismic and energy retrofit of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings considering various case scenarios and evaluating both the mechanical and the energetic performance of the intervention. Timber engineered products were employed as base components for the retrofit intervention. The products …
