Experimental Investigation and Numerical Simulation of an Unreinforced Masonry Structure with Flexible Diaphragms

Unreinforced masonry (URM) construction, which has been widely used in the United States, presents a large threat to life safety and regional economic development because of its poor seismic resistance. In this research, the nonlinear seismic properties of URM structures were investigated via a quas...
