Historic buildings and monuments are an important part of our cultural heritage that must be protected and their sustainability ensured, especially when earthquakes occur. In this paper, a technique that uses structural steel frames is proposed as one way of strengthening unreinforced masonry (URM) in historical buildings. The idea underpinning this technique is to reduce the earthquake displacement demand on non-ductile URM walls by attaching steel frames to the building floors from inside. These frames run parallel to the structural system of the building and are fixed at their base to the existing foundation of the building. Furthermore, they are constructed rapidly, do not occupy architectural space, save the building’s historic fabric, and can be easily replaced after an earthquake if some minor damage ensues. The proposed technique was applied to a five-story historical masonry building in Istanbul. The results of seismic performance analysis indicate that even though the building has plan irregularities, the proposed steel frames are able to effectively enhance the building’s seismic performance by reducing inter-story drifts and increasing lateral stiffness and strength.

A procedure is presented for analyzing steel frames with any combination of pinned connections, fixed connections, connections with any specified flexibility characteristics, or any of seven commonly used connection types. A method is outlined for expressing, in a nondimensional form, the moment–rotation characteristics for all connections of a given type. The dimensionless relationships are listed for the commonly used structural steel framing connection types. The incorporation of connection deformations into a linear structural analysis, by modifying the stiffness matrix and fixed-end-force vectors for each member, is demonstrated.An iterative nonlinear analysis procedure is described in which repeated modifications are made to assumed flexibility characteristics for all connections in a structure. When a suitable set of connection flexibility characteristics has been arrived at, a single analysis is performed to determine the correct structural deflections and internal forces.
