seismic risk analysis of a dome-roof adobe house considering in-plane and out-of-plane response of walls

In this article, the seismic performance of a typical dome-roof adobe building is investigated numerically through calibrated macro-modelling. the model had been previously tested on the shaking table at sharif university of technology. the selected excitation is zarand earthquake (2005), chatrood station. since the scaling of the models was performed according to gravity forces neglected procedure, the acceleration and velocity in the model were amplifiedand decreased 1.5 times, respectively. besides, the records were intensified in the time domain and the velocity amplitude was remained intact. two models namely the unretrofitted and retrofitted are studied. the photograph of the models are shown in figure 1.
