A methodology for the development of historical building archetypes for seismic performance assessment

Abstract

The probabilistic estimation of the magnitude of historical earthquakes requires the analysis of actual building structures affected by those earthquakes. The analysis complicates because most of these buildings no longer exist or were greatly modified, present a great variety of features and the number of analysis for probabilistic assessment is high. As it is not practical to analyze all structures, an alternative is to use structural archetypes representing the affected buildings. This paper presents an approach to develop a quantitative framework for the generation of historical archetypes. The method is illustrated via the definition of a specific archetype for the study and assessment of the effects of the 1763 Komárom earthquake. The historical survey of Tata, Hungary, is assumed as representative of the region and one historical building is utilized to illustrate the archetypes evaluation process.

Cyclic Behaviour, Dynamic Analysis and Seismic Vulnerability of Historical Building Archetypes in Hungary

“…These results, consistently with Morais, Vigh, and Krähling (2018a), suggest that the growth in height, or heavier roofing with longer spans, are relatively unfavourable.…”

“…In this context, the 1763 event was a major object of discussion and rejection criteria for the construction of a water power plant at Nagymaros (Eisinger, Gutdeutsche, and Hammerl 1992). These facts led to the investigation of the probable historical seismic intensities and magnitude of the 1763 event, first by historical seismology (Szeidovitz, 1986;Varga et al, 2001), and then by earthquake engineers (Morais, Vigh, and Krähling 2017, 2018a, 2018b) that considered the behaviour and effects on real building structures.…”

An insight of nature influences and environmental sandy on architecture by information technology

“…-Building sand environmental is building, which integrates with all that surrounds him and interacts with him unresponsive environmental requirements and the humanitarian and design based on zero-time materials (earth, water, air, and fire), through the use of modern technologies with reviving old models of traditional architectural techniques [9], [10]. -In implementation of the architecture made of sand are integrated primary elements (earth, water, fire) with the most famous architectural elements (Pointed contracts and domes); -The internal vacuum for environmental sandy architecture is a cosmic no timetable vacuum combines between romance and rationality -Romantic, where integrates with all that surrounds him and interact with him unresponsive to environmental and humanitarian requirements and design with reviving the old models of traditional architectural technology, Rational by integrating modern technology and information technology; -It might integrate an application on information technology for the trends in rainfall measures and the number of substantial rain events with continually rainfall quantities.…”

Influence of Prior Distributions and Fragility assessment methods in the estimation of the Magnitude of a Historical Seismic Event

“…A general overview of the methodologies in study is provided in section 2. In section 3 the empirical capacity curves are studied for a set of historical adobe unreinforced masonry wall panels from a one-storey peasant house archetype [7,8]. A simplified macro-model that uses a multilinear spring [9] is calibrated for IDA, incorporating physical uncertainties associated with the mechanical parameters defined in literature [10][11][12][13], using Monte-Carlo simulation (MCS).…”
