The paper gives an overview of recent developments in the field of masonry technologies and seismic design criteria for new masonry buildings, drawing mainly from experimental researches and coordinated projects carried out in Italy and Europe. In the first part, some code-related issues are discussed with reference to the Italian norms and Eurocodes. In the second part, some significant outcomes of recent research projects on unreinforced and reinforced masonry systems are reported, with possible interaction with design code regulations. Suggestions for code improvement are given.

Abstract
The paper gives an overview of recent developments in the field of masonry technologies and seismic design criteria for new masonry buildings, drawing mainly from experimental researches and coordinated projects carried out in Italy and Europe. In the first part, some code-related issues are discussed with reference to the Italian norms and Eurocodes. In the second part, some significant outcomes of recent research projects on unreinforced and reinforced masonry systems are reported, with possible interaction with design code regulations. Suggestions for code improvement are given.File in questo prodotto:
