Abstract


The article deals with the basic considerations to be kept in mind when designing “simple buildings" built with masonries which can be exposed to seismic vibrations. The influence of so usual "confined masonries" on the seismic wave is also analyzed. These masonries are actually reticulate frames with masonry panels filling them. After analyzing mechanisms of failures in masonry buildings exposed to earthquake, the article concentrates on the layout of reinforcements which can diminish seismic effects.
