Reducing uncertainties in response predictions of earthquake-damaged masonry buildings using data from image-based inspection

Ian Smith, Katrin Beyer, Bryan German Pantoja Rosero, Mathias Christian Haindl Carvallo

Image information about the state of a building after an earthquake, which can be collected without endangering the post-earthquake reconnaissance activities, can be used to reduce uncertainties in response predictions for future seismic events. This paper ...

Using image-based inspection data to improve response predictions of earthquake-damaged unreinforced masonry buildings

Katrin Beyer, Mathias Christian Haindl Carvallo

Explicit representation of uncertainties is essential to improve the reliability of seismic assessments of earthquake-damaged buildings, particularly when dealing with unreinforced masonry buildings. Modern inspection techniques use images for detecting an ...

Applying a 2D Variational Rigid Block Modeling Method to Rubble Stone Masonry Walls Considering Uncertainty in Material Properties

Katrin Beyer, Qianqing Wang, Mathias Christian Haindl Carvallo

The computational cost of detailed micro-modeling of masonry structures can be minimized with rigid block analysis methods, where a variational formulation is particularly interesting as it allows for nonlinear pushover analysis. This work investigates the ...

A database of shake-table tests conducted on unreinforced masonry buildings

Katrin Beyer, Mathias Christian Haindl Carvallo

Experimental results obtained from shake-table tests on complete unreinforced masonry buildings (URM) play a crucial role in enhancing modeling techniques and reducing uncertainties in seismic assessments for this type of building. This paper presents an o ...

Quantification of Equivalent Strut Modeling Uncertainty and Its Effects on the Seismic Performance of Masonry Infilled Reinforced Concrete Frames

Mathias Christian Haindl Carvallo

Quantifying aleatory and epistemic uncertainty in nonlinear structural response simulation is key to robust performance-based seismic assessments. This paper focuses on the modeling parameters that are used to describe the nonlinear force-deformation respo ...

The impact of uncertainties on post-earthquake response predictions of a building with unreinforced masonry walls

Ian Smith, Katrin Beyer, Mathias Christian Haindl Carvallo

In this paper, the impact of several sources of uncertainty on the seismic response of an experimentally tested building is assessed for the case of a post-earthquake scenario. The building comprises unreinforced masonry and reinforced concrete walls. It i ...
