Abstract:Earthquakes are the major causes of damage and loss to the built environment, including cultural heritages, monumental buildings, and historical centres. Many regions with predominant active tectonic plates and high seismicity lack recorded ground motion datasets regarding large-magnitude events or near-field records. Among them, the Azores islands in Portugal are the regions with high seismicity. The traditional buildings from the Azores are mainly constituted of rubble stone masonry, which represents one of … Show more
