Improving seismic resistance of historic masonry buildings have become a major task for structural engineers. In order to extend the service life and apply the new building regulations to existing masonry buildings, an approach based on multi-level evaluation with an appropriate intervention strategy is necessary. Structural interventions should account social, environmental and economic influences in order to incorporate safety, eco-efficiency and sustainability. In this study, a historical masonry railway station building, constructed in Usak city of Turkey, is analyzed according to Turkish Seismic Code and based on the results; seismic performance of the building is evaluated. Vulnerable parts of the structural system are identified by earthquake safety analysis. Afterwards, strengthening intervention technique is proposed for improving buildings seismic response. Outcomes of the numerical analysis show that proposed strengthening methodology improved building seismic capacity significantly and reduced the probability of brittle failure of the masonry parts.
