Summary
This paper provides a criterion for the proportioning of a steel frame for the retrofit
of an unreinforced masonry building. A standard model to parametrize the values of
the seismic forces absorbed by the masonry structure and steel frame is defined. The
main aspect of the paper concerns the proportioning of the stiffness of the steel
frame and the size of the anchor under shear force that the masonry panel provides
for the steel frame.
The interactions between the masonry building and the steel frame are analyzed by means of a commercial finite element code. purchase the full-text of this paper (price £20)
