Line 1 of the ReLUIS 2005-2008 Framework Project consisted of a coordinated research on the evaluation and reduction of seismic vulnerability of existing masonry buildings. The research, which involved nineteen different research units, has developed along five main topics: the assessment and strengthening of structural units within building aggregates, the methods for assessment of mixed masonry-reinforced concrete structures, the strategies and techniques for strengthening of masonry buildings, considering both horizontal (floors, roofs, vaults) and vertical (walls) structural elements, the methodologies for modelling the seismic response of masonry structural systems. Within each topic several subtasks were considered, involving surveying, modelling, in-situ and laboratory testing. Within the project also some large scale static and dynamic testing was carried out, involving shake table tests on building models and structural components. In this paper the developments and outcomes of the project are synthesized. Code: *************************************** |
