Seismic isolation techniques are widely used to mitigate earthquake-induced damage in structures; however, their application in low-cost unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings remains limited. This ...

Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings are prone to significant damage when subjected to ground motion. Some strengthening methods have been proposed to increase the seismic capacity. However, the ...
