Typical shortcomings of existing masonry buildings: wall-wall \/ wall-floor ties<\/strong><\/p>\n Floors are one of the most vulnerable parts of buildings constructed without any seismic criteria. The beams that form the floor are often simply resting on the supporting walls, held in place by a simple frictional force. In the event of violent seismic action there is a contemporary upward and lateral thrust; the friction force between wall and beam loses its effectiveness and the beams come away from the walls. A transversal movement causes the wall to rotate with respect to the vertical plane as they are not held together.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Deformable and disjointed floor<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The remedy: box action = unity gives strength<\/strong><\/p>\n If the walls are not connected to one another, the maximum earthquake resistance is simply that offered by the individual parts, but if they are properly connected there will be an increased resistance<\/strong> given by the box action effect.
