Description

In North Macedonia there are a large number of masonry structures that built before the existence of the seismic design regulations. Most of the existing masonry structures are single-family houses, in addition there are many public buildings. Within the research, a typological classification of existing masonry structures will be made in order to assess the seismic risk of the selected region. From the existing building fund, the buildings intended for housing are selected for typological classifications. In this context, Debar, Kicevo and Gostivar were selected, which lie on the active fault zones passing through North Macedonia. Seismic risk assessment is essential to maintain the durability of the structures and to ensure the safety of users. The main objective of the research is to take the first and basic steps for seismic risk assessment. To make this assessment, certain parameters of existing buildings will be used.

Typological Classification of Existing Masonry Structures in Debar, Gostivar and Kicevo -North Macedonia
