Seismic Retrofitting of Mustafa Pasha Mosque in Skopje: Finite Element Analysis

A finite element analysis was carried out to assess the seismic behavior of Mustafa Pasha mosque in Skopje and the efficiency of a CFRP-based strengthening technique. The numerical models of the as-built and retrofitted mosque were calibrated and validated against the results of an extensive experimental investigation based on shaking table tests on a large-scale physical model. Linear dynamic and nonlinear static analyses were performed to design the retrofitting intervention and to analyze the seismic behavior of the large-scale model before and after strengthening. Experimental and numerical results were compared to assess the accuracy of the models. The formation of crack patterns observed on the large-scale model in the different phases of the testing program was analysed and the responses to lateral load were compared. Finally, the numerical models were used to predict the seismic behavior and the effectiveness of the retrofitting system on the full-scale prototype.
