Seismic vulnerability of unreinforced masonry buildings is studied by means of simplified out-of-plane collapse mechanisms that take into account connections with transversal walls. According to experimental evidence, the analysis assumes that failure is reached with a rigid body motion of a part of the facade that falls down. Two classes of mechanism are examined: the overturning of the facade due either to a vertical crack at the connection or a diagonal crack on the transversal wall, both defined resorting to a simple model of masonry fabric, viewed as a regular assembly of rigid blocks and elastic plastic joints with friction but no cohesion. The use of simplified mechanisms give rise to an explicit evaluation of the seismic resistance to changes in the geometry and in the masonry fabrics, that could be used by practising engineers. This formulation is developed for both static horizontal actions and ground velocity peak, in the belief that the latter probably gives a better approximation of seismic action, while also providing, by comparison with the results of static forces, an estimate of the behaviour factor for unreinforced masonry. Eventually, the analytical forecasts are compared with numerical results obtained by means of the distinct element method. |
