Abstract

Abstract: This study evaluates seismic performance of a heritage brick masonry building. For this purpose Nonlinear Time History Analysis is done using SAP2000 considering non-linearity of the material. Different mode shapes with their corresponding natural frequencies and stresses (normal and shear) are obtained. These stresses are compared with the permissible stresses given in code of practice for unreinforced masonry structures (IS1905-1987). Results revealed that building is unsafe under seismic loads and some weak failure zones are found.
