This lecture covers the structural features of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings, including roofs, gable walls, interlocking of leaves, out-of-plane failures, and the interaction between adjacent buildings. It discusses the challenges of purlin and rafter roofs, the importance of proper interlocking of leaves, and the seismic vulnerability of URM buildings in historical city centers.
