This document summarizes the results of a workshop on seismic damage to masonry buildings. The workshop was held in Padova, Italy, in 1998 and focused on the assessment and mitigation of seismic damage to masonry buildings. The workshop participants discussed survey and measurement techniques, retrofitting criteria and approaches used in different European countries.

Many traditional masonry buildings are exposed to high intensity earthquakes where the collapse of masonry claims the majority of casualties. This workshop provided a forum for discussion, including survey and measurement, retrofitting criteria and approaches used in different European countries.
