In the European standard for structural assessment and retrofit of buildings, procedures are recommended and values of parameters needed in redesign are specified. However, the standard includes inconsistences and unnacceptable requirements regarding the architectural heritage buildings. On the basis of experimental and analytical research, additional recommendations have been proposed to relax the code requirements.

In the book, the earthquakes and seismic behaviour of masonry buildings are discussed. The mechanical properties of masonry and masonry materials are presented and the basic principles and equations for the numerical calculation and verification of limit states, as well as seismic resistance of different masonry structural systems are explained. Seismic assessment and retrofit of existing masonry structures, including cultural heritage buildings, is also discussed.
