AB  - This paper documents performance of cast-in-place reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in the Durrës municipality during Albania earthquake of November 26, 2019 (MW 6.4). Both mid- and high-rise RC buildings were affected by the earthquake, experiencing structural and/or non-structural damage and even collapse in some cases. The authors performed a reconnaissance study after the earthquake and were involved in seismic assessment of buildings in the affected area. Besides the observations related to physical damage of RC buildings, the paper also presents results of a statistical analysis of damaged RC buildings in the Durrës municipality.  The discussion in the paper is focused on damage patterns and failure mechanisms that are relevant for the seismic response of RC structures. Most common damage pattern observed after the earthquakes was related to masonry infill walls, which experienced damage and failure in some cases, and affected the performance of adjacent RC columns due to the infill/frame interaction. Taller RC framed buildings (10 storeys and higher) were expected to have RC shear walls; however, these walls were reportedly absent in the damaged buildings of this type. In some cases, masonry infill walls (instead of RC shear walls) were used in the elevator shaft areas, which resulted in inadequate seismic performance. A case study has been presented to illustrate seismic behaviour of mid-rise and high-rise cast-in-place RC buildings in the November 2019 earthquake, and is based on post-earthquake field observations and a detailed seismic assessment of two earthquake-damaged buildings. Finally, relevant lessons and recommendations are presented in light of the observed performance of RC buildings.

AB  - Recent earthquakes in Balkan, including the September 21 and November 26, 2020 Albania
earthquakes, March 22, 2020 Zagreb earthquake, and the December 29, 2020 Petrinja, Croatia
earthquakes had devastating consequences for the affected population of these countries.
Besides substantial structural damage of RC buildings as well as loadbearing masonry buildings,
these earthquakes caused significant damage of non-structural masonry elements. This paper
presents examples of the damage for loadbearing and non-structural masonry walls (infills
and partitions) due to out-of-plane seismic effects, as observed by the authors during the
reconnaissance visits to the affected areas. This type of damage can prevent the evacuation
of people from the buildings during the earthquake, as the falling masonry elements block the
evacuation routes, and hinder the reoccupancy and functional recovery of affected buildings after
an earthquake. The authors recognize that both loadbearing and non-structural walls (infills and
partitions) experienced out-of-plane collapse due to lack of connection to the floor/frame. Using
the examples of the damage or failure of masonry walls during the recent earthquakes, their
failure mechanisms were explained and the lessons learned were summarized in the paper.
