Abstract:
The old historical buildings in Palestine were built thousands years ago, by using large stones
and the old traditional methods of construction and materials available at that time.
It is still unknown how these buildings are affected when exposed to the forces of earthquakes.
In fact, the effect of these forces varies based on the different establishment of these buildings
and the materials used when they were established.
Ancient existing stone structures have been severely affected when subjected to seismic load
motions; this may be due to lack the periodic maintenance of these buildings and the presence of
weaknesses in these buildings Resistant to earthquake loads. Restoration and retrofitting are two
ways to preserve these historic buildings. Therefore, the focus of this research will be on using
the Nonlinear Static Analysis Approach and investigating the seismic response of existing
historic stone buildings against seismic forces. In addition, it aims at finding ways to develop and
strengthen those old buildings against the forces, as well as to assess the seismic bearing strength
of historical buildings in Palestine. For this purpose, a typical building structure in the old city of
Hebron will be analyzed using 3muri software program, which is a specified finite element
software for masonry building assessment. The results of the analysis of this building under the
influence of seismic loads will be studied and appropriate recommendations will be presented to
strengthen those buildings and support them to resist earthquakes in the future.
