Seismic Assessment of A Historical Building Made up of Masonry Structure

As India is a place of historical divine, here structure of 18 th century also exist in a safe and static condition without much failure in there stability. In this study we are selecting a historical monumental (mahal) building, collectings its dimensional data, material property, sectional details and strength to model the same structure of same aspects in Sap2000 and to Assign Non linear static analysis to check stability criteria and resistivity of an old structure. However, of these seismic intensity measures, the return period of design earthquakes is more useful, as seismic hazard curves are generally represented with the return period of design earthquakes; seismic design codes also require consideration of the return period of the design earthquake spectrum for a specific site. Therefore, this thesis focuses on the evaluation of seismic fragility curves as a function of the return period. Seismic fragility curves based on the return period are compared with those based on the PGA as an example bridge.
