ASSESSMENT OF UNREINFORCED MASONRY BUILDINGS WITHSTANDING LATERAL LOADS BY CAPACITY CURVE
According to the variety and distribution of the masonry buildings across the world, numerical modelling and analysis of these sorts of buildings is one the most interesting subjects for researchers. In such buildings, masonry shear walls are the main earthquake resistant components. Evaluation and analysis of different models of unreinforced masonry buildings, is the main aim of this research. In this manuscript, by the means of the existing computational programs, some parametric models are presented and compared for the unreinforced masonry buildings. A nonlinear static (pushover) analysis is carried out in these models. The models differ in number of openings, height of openings, arrangement and distribution of openings along the walls. These comparisons result in determination of the behaviour of unreinforced masonry buildings due to the variation of the capacity curve of these structures.
