Article Synopsis
- Seismic assessment of masonry structures requires effective numerical models to handle their nonlinear behavior and uncertainties due to incomplete knowledge of various parameters.
- The Bayesian approach, though not extensively explored for historic masonry, is gaining attention for its ability to integrate multiple information sources and improve parameter identification.
- This study employs a Bayesian framework alongside probabilistic structural analyses to create reliable seismic fragility curves for non-isolated masonry towers, demonstrating advantages over traditional deterministic methods.
