Displacement-based seismic assessment of masonry buildings for global and local failure mechanisms

Seismic fragility functions provide an easy mean to estimate the vulnerability of structures, develop damage scenarios and quantify number of structures with different damage states for a given seismic hazard. This paper presents the derivation of fragility functions for different types of masonry s...
