Pragmatic seismic collapse meso‐scale analysis of old Dutch masonry churches

Abstract The demand for advanced nonlinear time‐history and seismic collapse simulations of old unreinforced masonry (URM) constructions to support informed risk evaluation and mitigation plans is rapidly increasing in the structural engineering profession. On one hand, offering cutting‐edge solutions based on the latest advances is challenging for practitioners, given the reduced timeframe usually available for projects and the specialized knowledge required. On the other hand, researchers frequently face difficulties in accessing old buildings and gathering key data required in complex numer... Mehr ...
