| Zusammenfassung |
| This study evaluates seismic capacity of the unreinforced masonry buildings
with the selected template designs constructed per pre-modern code in
Albania considering nonlinear behaviour of masonry. Three residential
buildings with template designs were selected to represent an important
percentage of residential buildings in medium-size cities located in seismic
regions of Albania. Selection of template designed buildings and material
properties were based on archive and site survey in several cities of
Albania. Capacity curves of investigated buildings were determined by
pushover analyses conducted in two principal directions. The seismic
performances of these buildings have been determined for various earthquake
levels. Seismic capacity evaluation was carried out in accordance with FEMA (Federal Emergency Management
Agency)
440 guidelines. Reasons for building damages in past earthquakes are examined
using the results of capacity assessment of investigated buildings. It is
concluded that of the residential buildings with the template design, with
the exception of one,
are far from satisfying required performance criteria. Furthermore, deficiencies
and possible solutions to improve the capacity of investigated buildings are
discussed. |
