Proposed multivariate predictive approach of masonry wall seismic performance

This chapter outlines the implementation of a statistical multivariate technique referred to as the Projection to Latent Structure (PLS), to predict the maximum displacement as a key masonry wall performance indicator. It utilizes the wall geometrical and material characteristics within a statistical Multivariate Data Analysis platform that adopts the PLS technique for data analysis. Masonry wall systems comprise one of the most common type …
