A Study on Numerical Analysis of Gol-Gumbaz's Dynamic Behavior

Abstract

Historically significant masonry buildings, particularly those in seismically active zones, have often been destroyed by earthquakes. High inertial mass, weakening of strength and stiffness of structural materials with time, loose connections between load-bearing walls and floors, and pliability of floors are the primary causes of their exceptional sensitivity to earthquakes ence, it's crucial to evaluate the seismic behavior of these old stone buildings and estimate their capacity so that the design foundation for strengthening or retrofitting techniques and interventions may be established. On the premise of a fixed base, this work presents the results of a numerical analysis of GolGumbaz using the method.
