This paper presents the results of a numerical analysis – carried out by way of the academic ver-sion of the TREMURI software implementing the Equivalent Frame Method – that was aimed at generating fragility curves to be associated with existing masonry buildings resting on soils with different mechanical pa-rameters and subjected to differential settlement scenarios. These numerical fragility curves, once validated on the basis of information concerning real cases, could represent a useful tool for decision makers and geotech-nical engineers in planning/selecting/designing appropriate foundation repairing/replacing measures aimed at preventing the attainment of intolerable damage severity levels.

Abstract
This paper presents the results of a numerical analysis – carried out by way of the academic ver-sion of the TREMURI software implementing the Equivalent Frame Method – that was aimed at generating fragility curves to be associated with existing masonry buildings resting on soils with different mechanical pa-rameters and subjected to differential settlement scenarios. These numerical fragility curves, once validated on the basis of information concerning real cases, could represent a useful tool for decision makers and geotech-nical engineers in planning/selecting/designing appropriate foundation repairing/replacing measures aimed at preventing the attainment of intolerable damage severity levels.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
