Classification of earthquake induced wall damages for masonry

Abstract

The state can come into a state of emergency, after strong earthquake, when fast, efficient and professional assessment of the damaged buildings is needed. As the number of masonry buildings is the largest in the fund, it is important to have a clear methodology for assessing the status and damage to masonry buildings. Damage classification presented in this paper is a contribution to defining procedures and methodologies. Damages are classified in accordance to earthquake action direction relative to damaged part of structure, and to conditions for damage occurrence. Failure mechanisms are shown, followed by sketches and photographs.

U slučaju dejstva jačih zemljotresa, država može doći u stanje vanredne situacije, kada postoji potreba za brzim, efikasnim i stručnim procenama stanja oštećenih objekata. Kako je broj zidanih objekata, najveći u fondu objekata, značajno je imati jasnu metodologiju procene stanja i štete na zidanim objektima. Klasifikacija oštećenja zidova prikazana u ovom radu je doprinos proceduri definisanja te metodologije. Oštećenja su klasifikovana u odnosu na pravac delovanja zemljotresa na oštećeni zid objekta i prema potrebnim uslovima za nastanak oštećenja. Prikazani su mehanizmi loma uz objašnjenja i ilustracije fotografijama i skicama.
