Summary The assessment of the out‐of‐plane response masonry structures has been largely investigated in literature assuming that walls respond as rigid or semi‐rigid bodies, and relevant equations motion single‐degree‐of‐freedom multi‐degree freedom systems have proposed. Therein, energy dissipation usually modelled resorting to classical hypotheses impulsive dynamics, delivering a velocity‐reduction coefficient restitution applied at impact. In fewer works, velocity‐proportional damping...
Summary Typical low‐rise masonry buildings consist of unreinforced (URM) walls covered with various timber roof configurations generally supported or finished by gables. Post‐earthquake observations and experimental outcomes highlighted the large vulnerability URM gables to development overturning mechanisms, both because inertial out‐of‐plane excitation in‐plane diaphragm deformability. This paper presents static dynamic seismic performance three full‐scale roofs tested via quasi‐static...
This paper provides information related to the sensor measurements obtained from five different unreinforced masonry (URM) walls subjected incremental dynamic shake-table tests at EUCENTRE, Pavia, Italy. has been made available assist in development and calibration of analytical numerical models intended simulate out-of-plane (OOP) two-way bending response URM walls. For further interpretation recordings, for a detailed discussion on observed seismic performance specimens, reader is referred...
This data article provides experimental obtained from the incremental dynamic shake-table testing of four single leaf unreinforced masonry (URM) walls constructed in Calcium Silicate (CS) bricks reported "Two-way bending response URM subjected to combined horizontal and vertical seismic excitation" [1]. These were tested second phase a larger campaign addressing out-of-plane (OOP) full-scale panels two-way configurations at EUCENTRE, Pavia, Italy. Data corresponding first for one cavity wall...
This paper provides information related to the sensor measurements obtained from an unreinforced masonry building subjected incremental dynamic shake-table tests at EUCENTRE facilities in Pavia, Italy. These provide a unique data set that captures full scale in-plane and out-of-plane behavior of walls, influence flexible diaphragms on global response complete building. The authors made this available assist development analytical numerical models, necessary estimate engineering parameters...
The assessment of the out-of-plane response masonry has been largely investigated in literature assuming walls responding as rigid blocks or assemblies bodies.Several studies developed numerical integration single-degree-of-freedom and multi-degree freedom systems for simulation OOP dynamic rocking simple mechanisms.Modelling energy dissipation involved such mechanisms is extremely important to capture dependence damping phenomenon with system frequency.Some studies, recurring classical...
Hail is by far the greatest contributor worldwide to insured losses from severe convective storms on an annual basis. Individual outbreaks can cause well above EUR 1 bn. In Italy, storm have been dominating market in last 5-7 years, with a record of 1.4 bn 2019 prior year 2023. On 18-25 July 2023 unprecedented outbreak brought large hail and strong winds Lombardy, Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Piedmont Emilia-Romagna, affected cities including Parma, Turin, Milan Venice. There were many...
Catastrophe models are fundamental tools in the quantification of risk for (re)insurance industry. When it comes to European earthquake modelling, most widely used vendor available industry have not been updated since 2011 and largely out date with respect latest scientific findings data from recently released pan-European hazard (ESHM20) (ESRM20) (e.g. Danciu et al., 2021, Crowley 2021). This presentation aims showcase our work incorporate research within catastrophe modelling framework,...
