Abstract:
Most of the existing historic buildings are masonry buildings in China. Among them, some of buildings have served for a long time, their mechanical performance deteriorated significantly. They need to be inspected thoroughly and assessed accurately for the purpose of protection. However, there is still no available engineering software designed for the reliability assessment of existing historic masonry structures. Therefore, a Masonry Assessment software Package with three modules of pre-processing, core analyzing, and post-processing was developed based on the characteristics of historic masonry building structures. In this paper, the development technology for the software is introduced, and the suitability of the software is verified through the application of the software in a real historic masonry building.

Abstract:
Historic buildings of Nepal are mainly constructed from masonry structure. Since masonry structures are weak in tension which leads to the failure of structure. So, to avoid possible damage in environment lives and property it is urgent to conduct vulnerability assessments. Seismic vulnerability of historic masonry buildings constructed in Bhaktapur at Byasi area is carried out for the case study. Five load bearing masonry buildings were selected out of 147 buildings considering opening percentage, storey and type of floor for modeling in SAP 2000 V10 Various methods of rapid visual screening (FEMA 154, EMS 98) are used to determine the vulnerability of the selected building. The Selected Building response is carried out by linear time history analysis. The seismic vulnerability of masonry structures is determined in terms of fragility curves which represent the probability of failure or damage due to various levels of strong ground motions for different damage state slight, moderate, extensive and collapse. From the result of Rapid Visual Screening (RVS) and Fragility curves of the buildings it is found that whole, buildings are found vulnerable from future earthquake.

Abstract:
Historic buildings and monuments are an important part of our cultural heritage that must be protected and their sustainability ensured, especially when earthquakes occur. In this paper, a technique that uses structural steel frames is proposed as one way of strengthening unreinforced masonry (URM) in historical buildings. The idea underpinning this technique is to reduce the earthquake displacement demand on non-ductile URM walls by attaching steel frames to the building floors from inside. These frames run parallel to the structural system of the building and are fixed at their base to the existing foundation of the building. Furthermore, they are constructed rapidly, do not occupy architectural space, save the building’s historic fabric, and can be easily replaced after an earthquake if some minor damage ensues. The proposed technique was applied to a five-story historical masonry building in Istanbul. The results of seismic performance analysis indicate that even though the building has plan irregularities, the proposed steel frames are able to effectively enhance the building’s seismic performance by reducing inter-story drifts and increasing lateral stiffness and strength.

Abstract:
Since the advent of the latest National building code of Canada, the level of intervention required to meet seismic requirements for the rehabilitation of heritage buildings has increased significantly. An example of this type of project is the rehabilitation of the West Block on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. Eight walls representative of the stone masonry in the West Block building were constructed, some with different rehabilitation schemes, and tested to investigate their in-plane seismic behaviour. The walls were double wythes of sandstone and limestone connected by a rubble core. The walls were 2750 mm high by 2000 mm wide by 540 mm thick. The rehabilitation schemes represented different ways of tying the stone wythes together, since the outer sandstone wythe has separated from the rubble core in some locations in the existing structure. The results reveal that the suggested strengthening schemes neither benefit nor degrade the in-plane seismic behaviour compared to that of a plain wall.

Abstract:
Masonry heritage building built during early part of 19th century have characteristic colonial architecture using masonry walls and jack arch roofing supported on steel beams. They are highly vulnerable to failure during earthquakes. This paper describes a methodology to quantify their vulnerability and then based on this a scheme of structural retrofitting is suggested. The aim of this presentation, through 4 case studies of buildings located in Delhi, India, is to exemplify various aspects of analysis, design and execution methodology of the retrofitting scheme for such important heritage structures. The assessment of vulnerability is based on its location, codes of practice with respect to materials and loading. The main challenge in choosing the appropriate retrofitting scheme lies in retaining the architecture and aesthetics. Also the retrofitting has to be completed in the least possible time causing minimum disturbance to the occupants. This has been achieved through a combination of Ferro-cement bands and FRP sheets. The execution of retrofitting was considered to make use of available local materials and expertise. The building is analysed in detail and the areas where stress concentration takes place is further strengthened.

Abstract:
Increasingly historic masonry buildings are subjected to higher levels of traffic and rail vibrations due to urbanization and population growth. Deterioration and destabilisation of these buildings may result, especially if they were previously damaged (e.g. earthquakes or settlement problems). To better understand building response, vibration measurements were conducted on the Little Hagia Sophia Mosque, located adjacent to Istanbul’s Sirkeci-Halkali railway line. Transport-induced vibrations were recorded at several points on the ground and building. Attenuation characteristics in the ground and amplification features on the building were examined. Peak particle velocities often exceeded previously established thresholds for human perception and in some cases for structural damage. These are evaluated with respect to the building’s condition.

Abstract:
Purpose – Sustainability is well understood to encapsulate economic, environmental and societal parameters. The efficiency of maintenance interventions for historic buildings is no exception and also conforms to these broad factors. Recently, environmental considerations for masonry repair have become increasingly important and this work supports this growing area. The purpose of this paper is to give insight on how an option appraisal approach of “Green Maintenance” modelling for historic masonry buildings repair practically determine and ultimately substantiate the decision-making process using a calculation procedures of life cycle assessment, within delineated boundaries. Design/methodology/approach – Calculation procedures of the model enables an assessment of embodied carbon that is expended from different stone masonry wall repair techniques and scenarios for historic masonry buildings during the maintenance phase. Findings – It recognises the importance roles Green Maintenance model can play in reducing carbon emissions and underpins rational decision making for repair selection. Practical implications – It must be emphasised that the calculation procedures presented here, is not confined to historic masonry buildings and can be applied to any repair types and building form. The decisions made as a result of the utilisation of this model practically support environmentally focused conservation decisions. Social implications – The implementation of the model highlights the efficacy of repairs that may be adopted. Originality/value – The paper is a rigorous application and testing of the Green Maintenance model. The model relays the “true” carbon cost of repairs contextualised within the longevity of the materials and its embodied carbon that consequently allows rational appraisal of repair and maintenance options.

Abstract:
The preservation and definition of the correct retrofitting interventions of historic masonry buildings represents a relevant topic nowadays, especially in a country characterized by high seismicity zones. Considering the Italian Cultural Heritage, most of these buildings are constructed in ancient unreinforced masonry (URM) and showed a high level of vulnerability during the recent 2009 (L’Aquila), 2012 (Emilia Romagna) and 2016 (Centro Italia) earthquakes. In this paper, the seismic assessment of an historic masonry building damaged during 2016 Centro Italia seismic event is presented considering different types of retrofitting interventions. Starting from the results obtained by the post-earthquake survey, different finite element models have been implemented to perform linear and non-linear analyses useful to understand the seismic behaviour of the building and to define the appropriate retrofitting interventions. In particular, reinforced plaster layer and cement-based grout injections have been applied in each masonry wall of the building in order to improve their horizontal load-bearing capacity, and an additional wall made with Poroton blocks and M10 cement mortar has been built adjacent to the central stairwell. In addition, in view of the need to replace the roof seriously damaged during the seismic event, a cross-laminated roof solution characterized by a thickness equal to 14 cm (composed by seven layers, each 2 cm thick) has been proposed. The results show that the proposed retrofitting interventions have led to a significant improvement in the seismic behaviour of the building.

Abstract:
Craftsmen of past generations built to last, and the brick buildings they constructed can last for centuries if they are not mistreated. Although brick masonry is one of the most durable building materials, its durability can be threatened by improper cleaning and repointing techniques and materials. Many brick surfaces have been--and currently are being--disfigured, and the rate of deterioration often accelerated, because of the lack of knowledge of proper preservation techniques for historic bricks and mortar.This field guide provides a single source of information regarding inspection of historic brick buildings; the causes of deterioration, diagnoses and treatments; appropriate materials and methods for repointing; various cleaning methods; and surface coatings (including waterproof and water-repellent coatings, paint and stucco). This manual can be used to assist persons responsible for the care of old and historic brick buildings: owners of houses or commercial buildings, administrators, architects, contractors, and anyone else who wants to maintain or sympathetically restore or rehabilitate brick buildings.While masonry work generally should only be done by professionals, this field guide will enable a building owner or administrator to understand proper preservation techniques and oversee the project to ensure that the architect or contractor is following the recommended preservation procedures. The Mississippi Department of Archives and History will use this creative project as a reference manual and as a handout to persons undertaking restoration of historic brick buildings.Historic architecture is a viable link between generations of the past and those of the present and future. Proper maintenance and restoration techniques can ensure that a historic brick building will endure for generations to come.

Abstract:
In February 2021, in San Pio delle Camere, on the Navelli plateau south-east of L'Aquila, a masonry building collapsed suddenly, after repair work had just begun on the damage caused by the 2009 earthquake. The current study, after a detailed examination of all the design documentation and the comparison of the post-earthquake damage with the results of the analysis on the model, finding an excellent correspondence, went to research the possible causes of the structural collapse, which occurred in static conditions. The masonry texture was then analysed, consisting of unworked natural stones of medium-small size bound by poor quality mortar, parameterising the mechanical characteristics with in situ tests, the Masonry Quality Index and the values proposed in NTC 2018. Then, the analysis of the global model lead to the verification of the complexity of the aggregate induced greater pressures, and consequent deformations, precisely in the walls from which the collapse originated. With these assumptions, and from the evidence of the presence of a modest void in an internal facing, the study of the local mechanism was deepened, arriving at the presumption of the possible minimum dimensions of such a cavity and how this, even if minimal, could have been the cause if concomitant with the degradation of the bonding mortar induced by the absence of maintenance and the loss of even minimal resistance capacities.

Abstract:
Seismic up-gradation of existing buildings is a very challenging task, as it requires us to consider historical and economical aspects of building. While proposing a seismic-retrofit scheme for a historical building, one should keep in mind that it should be compatible with existing materials, be least intrusive, monitorable and removable. A novel base-isolation technique has been proposed for the up-gradation of existing buildings against seismic actions which does not involve any alteration in existing buildings, and it is monitorable and removable. The method asks for the uncoupling of soil under, and around the building, with the help of closely spaced microtunnels, trenches and retaining walls. Closely spaced microtunnels will lay under the foundation of building, running parallel to one of the dimension of the building, and base-isolation devices will be fitted in lining of these microtunnels. These closely spaced micro-tunnels, along with the trenches and retaining walls around the building, will isolate the structure from seismic actions. This assembly of microtunnels, fitted with isolation devices, and trenches, around the building, will be able to filter seismic forces in both directions of building. The construction of these micro-tunnels, for realisation of innovative base-isolation technique, is the most critical phase, because it can have a detrimental effect on building. This work explores the potential applicability of the novel base-isolation method on masonry buildings by assessing susceptibility of masonry wall, having different physical and material characteristics, to damage (relating to aesthetic of building) inflicted by the construction of microtunnels in various soil conditions. The effect of transverse ground movements is considered in this study. A parametric study is conducted using 2-D (coupled) nonlinear finite element analyses, considering factors such as strength and stiffness of masonry, stiffness of soil, soil-structure interface, excavation sequence of tunnels, different physical characteristics of wall and depth of tunnels. The study shows the applicability of innovative base-isolation technique, highlights the vulnerability levels of walls of different physical characteristics, emphasizes the importance of excavation sequence of microtunnels in reducing risk of damage, and mentions symptoms that correlate with damage.

Abstract:
Historical masonry buildings, either monumental or minor buildings, have a need to be preserved in the correct way. The start point for that aim is to have or to be able to build up an extended knowledge of the constructions of interest. In Italy, an advanced document was put forward at national level some 15 years ago, proposing a diagnostic process to be followed in order to produce the necessary knowledge leading to a correct diagnostic evaluation. Relevant information can be extracted from many different sources, both on-site and off-site. Visual inspections and adavanced non-destructive techniques are part of the prescribed knowledge path and are particularly suitable for cultural heritage. They are used to indirectly assess the materials’ nature and characteristics, detection of damage and degradation, as well as for uncovering the past asset of the building and the compatibility of possible past interventions. This dissertation uses a case study consisting of a masonry building, situated in Guiglia, Modena, to adopt the knowledge process and conduct a personal experience of its application through various inspections, surveys and NDT tests such as IR thermography. Although the diagnostic work undertaken was initial and very partial, it resulted in discovering many peculiar aspects of the construction simply by contactless observations. These would be useful for further phases of the evaluation and assessment of the building and could make up the ground base for any preservation and intervention design.

Abstract:
Nel corso degli ultimi decenni, le costruzioni in terra cruda sono tornate al centro del dibattito tra architetti e ingegneri di tutto il mondo, non solo perché costituiscono una vasta porzione del patrimonio architettonico mondiale, ma anche perché rappresentano una valida alternativa nell’ambito della sostenibilità alle tradizionali tipologie costruttive. In Portogallo, fino alla metà del XX secolo, ebbero molta diffusione gli edifici realizzati in adobe, ovvero in muratura di mattoni in terra cruda. Ad oggi, molte di queste architetture, di cui alcune in stile Art Noveau di grande valore storico e artistico, si trovano in pessimo stato di conservazione. Risulta quindi fondamentale promuovere programmi di ricerca multidisciplinari finalizzati a fornire validi strumenti per il recupero e il rinforzo strutturale di questi edifici. In questo contesto, il presente studio ha come obiettivo quello di implementare la conoscenza delle proprietà della muratura in adobe e in particolare dei parametri di resistenza meccanica. A questo scopo, ho condotto test sperimentali su mattoni provenienti dalla città portoghese di Aveiro per meglio caratterizzare le proprietà e la natura del materiale. Nello specifico, ho analizzato campioni cubici di adobe tramite prova di assorbimento d’acqua, analisi della distribuzione granulometrica, calcimetria e diffrattometria a raggi X. Sono stati poi effettuati test di compressione assiale su dodici provini cubici di adobe con diversi tenori di umidità per verificare in che modo e in che misura la presenza di umidità influenzi il comportamento meccanico e la resistenza di questo materiale. Ho inoltre realizzato la calibrazione di un programma di modellazione numerica (Nastra In-Cad) e, nella parte finale della ricerca, lo stesso programma è stato utilizzato per prevedere il comportamento di porzioni murarie in adobe con diversi tenori di umidità, utilizzando i valori ottenuti dai test di compressione sperimentali.

Abstract:
This research establishes the concept of ‘Green Maintenance’ modelling for historic masonry buildings. It recognises the important role of maintenance and repair in reducing embodied carbon expenditure, thus minimising the Environmental Maintenance Impact (EMI) typically associated with the deterioration of external stone masonry walls. The model was developed using a mathematical framework, and it generated results described in terms of EMI. This model utilises life-cycle assessment (LCA) ‘cradle-to-site’ over a selected maintenance period. The work evaluates embodied carbon expenditure from different stone masonry wall repair techniques for historic masonry buildings during their maintenance phase. It was discovered that embodied carbon expenditure for these repair techniques are highly influenced by the number of maintenance interventions, longevity of repairs, total wall surface repaired (m2), the embodied carbon coefficient value (‘cradle-to-gate’) and kg/km emission factors (‘gate-to-site’) associated with materials and repair processes. Based on the EMI in terms of embodied carbon expenditure generated from the results of ‘Green Maintenance’, the efficiency of stone masonry wall repair techniques can be determined. This not only aids in maintenance decisions making processes, but also contributes in substantiating the philosophical defensibility and sustainability of interventions. In the broader sense, this model is not simply confined to masonry and will be of use to those entrusted with the repair of other elements and components.

Easy access of its constitutive materials, which are basically stones, bricks, and mortar (which varies from region to region), makes masonry one of the everlasting construction methods from small residential buildings to the most important ancient and historic monuments. <p>Some masonry buildings have proved to be resistant structures even in seismic prone areas, due to some specific structural characteristics that have been observed throughout the years and after many destructive earthquakes. In this chapter, an effort will be made to refer to and describe the most characteristic deficiencies in unreinforced and reinforced masonry buildings under seis-mic actions. Design recommendations for new earthquake-resistant structures will follow, and some retrofitting and strengthening strategies for existing masonry buildings will be proposed.

Abstract:
<p>Some regions of mainland Portugal, especially the southern region, are exposed to considerable seismic hazard. There is also a wide variety of building typologies, including structures of masonry and wood, masonry and reinforced concrete and reinforced concrete built in different times and with different degrees of seismic vulnerability. In the last few years, there was a significant growth in the number of building rehabilitation projects in historic centres of Portuguese cities. Some of these interventions are founded on well-conceived projects which take into account the date of construction and the original construction methods and materials, however, there are somewhat legal procedures which seriously undermine the safety of renovated buildings decreasing their seismic performance. This paper illustrates some provisions on traditional building techniques that ensure a better performance of buildings during an earthquake. It also points out and illustrates some of the major mistakes in building rehabilitation that contribute to increase their seismic vulnerability.</p>

Abstract:
This paper deals with the stone material investigation of St. John’s Church, located in Cesis, the city in central region of Latvia. Following aspects were considered – chemical, physical and granulometrical characterization of historic mortars, as well as the level of soluble salts in the masonry. The chemical and physical properties of the historical mortars were characterized by visual observation, granulometric analysis, classical wet chemical analysis, XRD, SEM and hydro tests. The results showed that the historic mortars are based on two types of weakly hydraulic lime – calcitic and dolomitic – with brick dust additive. The main crystallized salt in the object was KNO3. The aim of the investigation was to provide compatibility of restoration materials and sustainability of the ancient building.

Abstract:
The Historic Rural Building Pilot Scheme, launched in 2018, was a collaborative project between national cultural and natural heritage organisations, government agencies and five English National Parks. Its aim was to bring life back to traditional agricultural buildings within the boundaries of participating National Parks. Funding was available for building repairs using traditional methods and materials, with the aims of preserving the distinctive character of the areas and keeping the buildings in continued agricultural use.The Author is an independent heritage consultant employed by Dartmoor National Park Authority to oversee the 13 repair projects selected there. These ranged in size from small, isolated barns to a large, late 19thcentury model farmstead. Typical works included masonry and cob repairs, timber repairs, roof replacement etc. A total of £1.3m has been offered in the National Park covering 80% of the cost of eligible repairs.The paper briefly describes Dartmoor and provides an overview of the scheme. Individual case studies are considered, illustrated with photos, describing the history and significance of each building, their construction, the structural problems affecting them before repair; and the philosophy and solutions adopted.

Abstract:
Tuff, a sedimentary rock made of volcanic ash, is a traditional building material in the Campania region. Since its foundation Naples’ architecture, whether monumental or vernacular, has been erected in tuff masonry and only the arrival of concrete and steel has meant its downfall. Due to the soft nature of tuff, traditionally the building material was designed to be covered by plaster and very few and monumental architectures, by selecting and sculpting to the purpose the rock, were designed to be fair-faced. In years the exposition to natural and artificial degradation agents has brought a wide variety of deterioration phenomena both on the fair-faced tuff masonry and the ones that had lost plaster. In approaching the restoration of these architectures, the conservator is faced with a challenging task. This is due to the difficulty of balancing the pursue of minimum intervention and authenticity respect, the conservation of the historic consolidated image of the architecture and the necessity of using the best restoration techniques that guarantee the highest conservation of the material in future years, with particular regard to bio-compatible and sustainable materials both for operators and the environment. By analyzing the restoration of various architectures, both archaeological and modern, the paper will address this difficult task and the different decisions made by the conservators in relation to the monuments’ nature, identity, history and status of conservation. The paper is based on a multidisciplinary approach due to the contribution of the expertise of an architect, a restorer and an archaeologist.

Abstract:
<p>Built over 100 years ago, 1789 Massachusetts Avenue NW was one of the earliest luxury apartment buildings in Washington, DC, and was home to several distinguished individuals including millionaire industrialist and art patron Andrew Mellon. In 1976 the Building was purchased and became home to The National Trust for Historic Preservation. A new owner purchased the building in 2013 and proposed long-needed repairs and modernizations. To achieve the goals of this renovation, a new penthouse was added above the existing roof, and a full floor was added below the original historic building footprint.</p><p>Among several unique aspects of this project, one which makes it note-worthy from a preservation engineering perspective, was the design approach used to achieve seismic code compliance for the lateral system of the building. Given the level of Structural Modification, the project was considered a Level 3 Alteration in the IEBC. The historic façade is integral with the original steel frame of the building and absorbs lateral forces. The degree of fenestration and composite wall construction makes its contribution difficult to quantify. Ignoring the contribution of historic facades can lead to overly conservative design of new lateral systems. Conversely, assuming that the existing facades can resist seismic forces without careful consideration can lead to damage of the historic finishes and unintended consequences in the building envelope performance. Silman performed a series of nonlinear analyses as part of a 'performance based' approach, more common to the west coast, to benefit from the contribution of the existing historic masonry on the lateral resistance of the building while quantitatively limiting damage to the historic fabric under the seismic events. The resulting design achieved an optimal balance reducing the lateral demand on the new components of the building while providing the quantified protection of this important historical resource.</p>

Abstract:
<p>Dealing with historic masonry buildings, architects and engineers often face the problem of cracking in various types of exterior wall construction. Understanding structural and environmental causes of cracking, observed in exterior masonry walls during building envelope inspections, should always be the basis for the design of repairs and maintenance. Analyzing and understanding the underlying condition causing cracking is a good practice and is necessary to provide a lasting repair solution and avoid recurrence of the issue. Analyzing the shape and direction in which the crack propagates, the number of cracks and the location of their occurrence can be a source of valuable information during visual inspections. With the use of crack gauges, as well as probes and non-destructive testing methods, engineers can assess the severity of the underlying issue in more detail. This paper describes a comprehensive study of interpreting cracking in a range of exterior masonry wall types.</p>

Abstract. In this paper, advanced numerical models are used to study the progressive damage of a historic building, namely the Palazzo of Podestà and the Civic Tower of Accumoli (central Italy). The dynamic behaviour of the structure is analyzed following important seismic events such as those that occurred in 2016-2017. Discontinuous and continuous approaches are used. In the formers, the masonry response is represented both with Discrete Element Method (DEM) and the Non-Smooth Contact Dynamic (NSCD) method; in the latter the masonry nonlinearity is replicated using the Concrete Damage Plasticity (CDP) model. The numerical results showed a good correspondence of all the approaches with the real damage suffered by the structure after the seismic sequence.

Abstract:
The proposed research project consists of the seismic rehabilitation of a 1930’s historic building situated in Stockton, California (Seismic Zone 4), using the 1997 Uniform Code for Building Conservation and the Federal Emergency Management Agency FEMA-356 guidelines. The 2-story building was originally built for the Southern Pacific Railroad Company and served as the Stockton Train Depot. The structure consists of un-reinforced brick masonry walls and flexible wood diaphragms. A three-dimension analytical model will be developed and a comparative study will be done for the two approaches. A detailed comparison of the FEMA-356 provisions and the 1997 Uniform Building Code for Conservation (UCBC-97) is performed to establish cost/benefit analyses of the proposed retrofit strategy. A comprehensive comparison of structural capacities of major load-carrying members will also be conducted. Based on the parametric results of this study, a performance-based design scheme will be proposed for retrofitting the existing building to meet the intended seismic performance in the event of major earthquake events.
