## Abstract The paper analyses the most recent research carried out in Italy concerning the seismic behaviour of historic buildings. The last Umbria (Italy) earthquake in 1997 was an interesting on site test for the evaluation of the repair and prevention techniques applied to masonry building of h
A hypothetical 5-storey prototype structure with reinforced concrete (RC) frame and unreinforced masonry (URM) wall is considered. The paper focuses on a shake-table experiment conducted on a substructure of this prototype consisting of the middle bays of its first storey. A test structure is constr
This paper discusses the effect of scale or size effect on the structural behaviour of masonry under compression. Small scale modelling has been employed as a means to understanding masonry structural behaviour over the years, because testing prototype masonry structures is both costly and difficult
