SAŽETAK / ABSTRACT:
Unreinforced masonry structures without rigid floor diaphragms are particularly susceptible to earthquake-induced damage. Walls which are perpendicular to the lateral action can collapse out of their plane, posing an immediate danger, while also compromising the integrity of other structural and non-structural components. In the Republic of Serbia, a sizable portion of public facilities, as well as single-family homes, is housed in relatively old buildings of this type. In this paper, two displacement-based procedures are employed to assess the seismic performance of a school building which has previously undergone an inspection and a condition assessment. The first method is based on rocking block mechanics, while the other one relies on the principal mode shape. The investigation is carried out to evaluate and compare the methods and their applicability to routine assessment of masonry structures. Analytical procedure, based on rocking block mechanics, was found to be easy to automate and less sensitive to unreliable input parameters than the second procedure, which relies on numerical analysis.
