Evaluating structural resistance and updating modeling uncertainties through testing

Miguel Fernández Ruiz, Peter Tanner, Nicola Tarque, Binbin Zhou et autres

Abstract The aging of infrastructure necessitates a robust and rational methodology for the assessment of existing structures. Design codes provide general models which cover different design scenarios and are thus overly conservative. Also, such design approaches lack field data and, if applied …

Seismic behaviour of aggregated reinforced masonry dwellings considering the combined influence of diaphragm stiffness and height irregularity

Rodrigo Hermosilla-Osorio, Beatriz González-Rodrigo, Nicola Tarque, Sebastián Torres-Olivares et autres

Abstract Aggregate dwellings are a common construction configuration in urban environments in the Americas, where space constraints favour terraced construction. However, seismic interaction between adjacent dwellings can significantly alter their structural response, especially when there are differences in height or in the …

Seismic performance assessment of RC wall buildings with low boundary confinement using a nonlinear beam-based model

Gustavo Loa, Nicola Tarque, Juan Murcia‐Delso

The performance and safety of modern reinforced concrete (RC) wall buildings with limited boundary confinement remains uncertain in countries with evolving design practices and moderate-to-high seismicity. This paper presents a numerical assessment of their seismic response through nonlinear analyses conducted on 20 …

Evaluation of the Seismic Force Reduction Factor (R) for Adobe Walls Design

Nicola Tarque, R. R. Gutierrez, Edisson Moscoso, D. Torrealva

Earth-based construction (particularly adobe and rammed earth) continues to provide housing for nearly a quarter of the world’s population, reflecting its economic accessibility and deep cultural roots. Yet, despite its widespread use, seismic design for earthen structures remains anchored in allowable-stress methods …

Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Out-of-Plane Behaviour of Dry-Joint Stone Historical Walls

Leonel Lipa Cusi, Nicola Tarque, Luca Pelà, Jose María Goicolea et autres

This dataset provides a comparative visual analysis of the out-of-plane overturning behavior of an Inca dry-stone masonry, featuring video recordings of both experimental tilt-table tests and their corresponding numerical simulations. The physical experiments were conducted using a scale model of concrete blocks …

Numerical study on the seismic behaviour of aggregate reinforced concrete block masonry buildings

Sebastián Torres-Olivares, Beatriz González-Rodrigo, Diego Antonio Hidalgo-Leiva, Nicola Tarque et autres

Abstract Current seismic codes predominantly focus on isolated structures, despite the widespread presence of building aggregates in urban environments. This issue is particularly relevant in Costa Rica, where partially grouted reinforced concrete block masonry (PG-RCM) buildings are routinely constructed directly adjacent to …
