Mirra, M. (author), Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), de Vries, P.A. (author), Messali, F. (author)In the province of Groningen (NL), where human-induced earthquakes take place due to gas extraction, a large part of the building stock is composed of brick masonry walls and timber diaphragms. In this framework, timber-masonry connections play a crucial role in the global seismic response of the buildings, but their properties and structural...journal article 2022

Messali, F. (author), Esposito, R. (author), Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)The material and structural performance of calcium silicate (CS) brick masonry has received relatively little attention in the past, although this material is often used for the construction of low-rise buildings in Central and Northern Europe. Upon the occurrence of induced seismicity in the north of the Netherlands, an extensive testing...journal article 2020

Esposito, R. (author), Messali, F. (author), Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), Schipper, H.R. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)The exploitation of geo-resources in the northern part of the Netherlands (Groningen region) is triggering shallow earthquakes, rising the need of assessing the current building stock. Being the region not prone to tectonic earthquakes, buildings are designed as wind-resistant systems and have specific characteristics that can limit their...journal article 2019

Messali, F. (author), Esposito, R. (author), Jafari, S. (author), Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), Korswagen, Paul A. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)In recent years, induced seismicity in the north of the Netherlands significantly increased. As a consequence, the seismic assessment of the built environment, which mainly consists of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures not designed for seismic loads, became of high relevance. Within this context, an extensive multiscale testing program has...conference paper 2018

Messali, F. (author), Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), Esposito, R. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)The evaluation of the seismic response of unreinforced masonry buildings is a popular topic all over the world. In recent years, also the Netherlands started to face seismic risk, since the induced seismicity in the north of the country considerably increased (the gas extraction started in 1963, and earthquakes have occurred since the early ‘90s...conference paper 2017

Cyclic pushover test on an unreinforced masonry structure reseambling a typical Dutch terraced houseEsposito, R. (author), Terwel, K.C. (author), Ravenshorst, G.J.P. (author), Schipper, H.R. (author), Messali, F. (author), Rots, J.G. (author)During the last years, induced seismicity in the northern part of the Netherlands increased and the seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures became an important issue. As the problem is recent, the current building stock is not designed to withstand earthquakes and national guidelines are under development, but currently not...conference paper 2017
