“…The behaviour of a wall, as a heterogenous system, is dependent on a variety of factors such as compressive and shear strength of masonry elements and the mortar between them, the dimensions and shape of wall elements and their texture [2,3]. Since the number of factors is much greater than the ones mentioned, for a precise determination of the load bearing capacity and the quality of a wall, destructive and semi destructive assessment methods usually need to be implemented [4]. The use of this type of assessment methods in buildings of high cultural and historical significance is unacceptable [5].…”

A vast majority of buildings built in Croatia are masonry buildings. A fair amount of these buildings was built before the development of seismic codes. Also, most of the structures that are considered to have great historical and cultural value are in fact built in masonry. If all the above is taken into account with the Zagreb earthquake being just the most recent reminder of the seismic fragility of these types of structures, it is safe to say that the assessment and rehabilitation of masonry structures should be one of the greatest priorities in the civil engineering community. When talking about the assessment process, the visual inspection of a structure is one of the first and most important phases. For the purposes of the visual assessment of masonry structures, a specific analytical method was developed in Italy called the Masonry Quality Index (MQI) method. In this paper an insight into the said method will be given. Also, the use of this method on a typical case study of a masonry building in Zagreb will be shown. Concluding remarks about the quality and usability of the method will be drawn and discussed.

“…Recent Italian seismic events have once again highlighted the vulnerability of the historical masonry building heritage. One of the causes of the high vulnerability is the poverty of materials especially the mortar used in buildings of the rural historical centres [1][2][3].…”

A methodology for the definition of probabilistic models for material\ud strength through a visual analysis of masonry structures is presented. A Bayesian\ud Network whose nodes are represented by the masonry class and masonry features is developed based on the so called Masonry Quality Index method. The network is improved taking into account further quantitative information derived from previously tested masonry structures, similar to the one under assessment, supplemented by engineering judgment on the masonry features. Masonry mechanical properties can be so inferred using the network, given the results of qualitative investigation.The so established probability model can be used for preliminary reliability analysis or as prior distribution for further updating
