    Methods for the Assessment of Critical Properties in Existing Masonry Structures under Seismic Loads - The ARES Project

    Full text link
    Masonry structures are notoriously vulnerable to horizontal actions caused by earthquakes. Given the high seismicity of the European region, and that the European building stock comprises a lot of masonry buildings, knowledge about their structural response to seismic excitation is particularly important, but at the same time difficult to determine, due to the heterogenous nature of materials and/or constructional techniques in use. An additional issue is represented by the current methods for mechanical properties assessment, that do not provide a reliable framework for accurate structural estimations of existing buildings characterized by different typological properties. Every structure, in other words, should be separately inspected in regard to its mechanical behaviour, based on dedicated approaches able to capture potential critical issues. In this review paper, an insight on the Croatian ARES project is presented (Assessment and Rehabilitation of Existing Structures), including a state-of-the-art of the actual building stock and giving evidence of major difficulties concerning the assessment of existing structures. The most commonly used techniques and tools are compared, with a focus on their basic features and field of application. A brief overview of prevailing structural behaviours and Finite Element numerical modelling issues are also mentioned. As shown, the general tendency is to ensure “sustainable” and energy-efficient building systems. The latter, however, seem in disagreement with basic principles of structural maintenance and renovation. The aim of the ongoing ARES project, in this context, is to improve the current knowledge regarding the assessment and strengthening of structures, with a focus on a more reliable design and maintenance process for existing masonry building

    Niz zastrašujućih potresa, koji su se dogodili 2020. godine u Hrvatskoj, osvijestio je potrebu za procjenom stanja i seizmički proračun postojećih konstrukcija jer većinu građevinskog fonda čine zidane konstrukcije kojima je istekao uporabni vijek trajanja. U ovom diplomskom radu provedena je detaljna procjena stanja i seizmički proračun postojeće konstrukcije u Zagrebu. Za samo razumijevanje potresnog djelovanja objašnjen je mehanizam nastanka potresa, bilježenje i lociranje potresa, razvoj potresnog inženjerstva u svijetu i u Hrvatskoj. Opisane su metode procjene stanja i metode seizmičkog proračuna. Za postojeću konstrukciju provedena je detaljna procjena stanja koja se sastoji od vizualnog i detaljnog pregleda. Provedeni su istražni radovi na postojećoj konstrukciju kako bi se odredile mehaničke karakteristike materijala. Postojeća konstrukcija modelirana je u programskom paketu 3Muri radi provedbe metode postupnog guranja. Provedena je pojednostavljena metoda proračuna otpornosti ziđa radi usporedbe rezultata. Osim procjene stanja i seizmičkog proračuna, dan je prijedlog za mjere sanacija postojeće konstrukcije.A series of frightening earthquakes, which occurred in 2020 in Croatia, raised awareness of the need for assessment and seismic design of existing structures. Raising awareness is necessary because most of building stock consists of masonry structures that have an expired service life. In this master thesis, a complete assessment and seismic calculation of existing structure in Zagreb has been performed. For understanding of seismic action, the mechanism of earthquake occurrence, recording and locating earthquake, development of seismic engineering in the world and in Croatia are explained. Methods for assessment and methods for seismic design are described. For the existing structure, a detailed assessment has been performed. Detailed assessment for the existing structure consists of a visual and detailed inspection. In order to determine the mechanical characteristics of the material, on-site tests have been performed. The existing structure was modelled in the software 3Muri to perform a pushover analysis. To compare the results, a simplified method for calculating resistance of masonry walls was performed. In addition to the assessment and the seismic calculation, a proposal for measures to strengthen the existing structure are given
