Modeling and analysis of common Philippine-made concrete hollow block structures using rigid body-spring discrete element method

The 2013 Bohol tragedy caused by a magnitude 7.2 earthquake has proven the vulnerability of common Philippine concrete hollow block houses to strong ground motion. In this study, computer models of common Philippine-made CRE structures were used to assess their performance and seismic vulnerability...
