Abstrait:

The paper presents a novel optimization framework aimed at the minimization of seismic retrofitting-related costs for existing unreinforced masonry building structures. The framework provides topology optimization of reinforcements (reinforced plasters) to implement in masonry walls for the accomplishment of seismic safety checks under the reference seismic load combinations. Optimization is carried out by a genetic algorithm (GA) developed in MATLAB®, which controls a 3D finite element equivalent frame model of the masonry structure developed in OpenSees. The GA routine iterates the reinforcement configurations employing specific genetic operators. The feasibility of each candidate retrofitting solution is assessed by performing in-plane shear and flexural safety checks of masonry walls. The framework is finally tested with a case study masonry structure supposed to be made of average-quality or poor-quality masonry. Results will show that the proposed framework can effectively provide the minimization of seismic retrofitting costs for existing masonry structures, giving as output the optimal configuration of the reinforcements within the structural layout.
