- Abstract
Fragility curves have proved to be an efficient tool for the seismic vulnerability assessment of buildings made of stone masonry such as those located in historic districts of Eastern Canadian cities. However, most studies do not take into consideration the case of collapse in the out-of-plane direction. This failure mode may be critical for elements such as chimneys, firewalls, and front walls. This study focuses on the assessment of seismic vulnerability of stone masonry buildings sensitive to out-ofplane failure. A model of out-of-plane capacity showing the degree of damage in terms of displacements was developed as well as a calculation method for displacements in the out-of-plane direction taking into account the filter effect of the building in plane direction. Fragility curves derived are used to estimate the probability of damage in different seismic scenarios.
