This thesis addresses the seismic evaluation of existing buildings. In particular, it focuses on the seismic behavior of lightly reinforced shear walls that are not designed to withstand earthquake actions. A shear strength envelope for the assessment of d ...
In the second half of the 20th century, the majority of residential buildings in Switzerland have been built with unreinforced brick masonry walls and reinforced concrete floors. Following a re-evaluation of the seismic hazard in Switzerland, a country of ...
The behavior of seven one-half scale masonry specimens before and after retrofitting using fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) is investigated. Four walls were built using one-half scale hollow clay masonry units and weak mortar to simulate walls built in centr ...
Most residential buildings that were constructed during the last century in Switzerland are 2-6 storey unreinforced masonry (URM) structures. At the beginning of the century, houses were constructed with timber floors and small bricks. This type of constru ...
As an approach to the problem of seismic vulnerability evaluation of existing buildings using the predicted vulnerability method, numerical models can be applied to define fragility curves of typical buildings which represent building classes. These curves ...
This paper investigates the shear strength of beams and one-way slabs without stirrups based on the opening of a critical shear crack. The shear-carrying mechanisms after the development of this crack are investigated. On this basis, a rational model is de ...
