Unreinforced stone masonry made of low strength mortar has been used for centuries in forming old type stone masonry churches of the “Basilica” typology. The seismic performance of such stone masonry structures damaged during recent strong seismic activity in Greece, combined with long term effects from foundation settlement, is presented and discu...

This paper reports on the sensitivity of earthquake response and damage of long span masonry stone bridges to near field (impulsive type) and far field earthquakes. Towards that objective, the Konitsa Bridge is used as a case study. The particular bridge was selected for offering certain unique features such as long span, built right on an active f...

This paper summarizes observations and conclusions from a series of investigations on the seismic performance of stone masonry Christian basilica churches. A considerable number of these churches develops structural damage to the masonry walls-piers that arises from the amplitude of the gravitational and seismic actions combined with the deformabil...
