The structural integrity of existing masonry buildings is increasingly important in urban areas, particularly in the Mediterranean region, where such structures are prevalent. This paper addresses the vulnerability of typological residential masonry buildings subjected to vertical ground settlements, a less explored area compared to seismic vulnerability. Previous studies have largely relied on empirical methods for damage assessment due to differential settlements, focusing on criteria like differential settlement ratio and angular distortion. This study aims to fill the gap by applying non-linear analytical approaches to assess the fragility of masonry buildings under these conditions. The methodology involves monotonically increasing differential settlements applied at the base of the building elements, followed by a detailed damage estimation. Five conventional damage states, derived from the stress–strain constitutive relationship of non-linear hinges, are used for this purpose. The European Macroseismic Scale EMS98 provides the framework for defining these damage thresholds. The analysis documents the activation step for each damage state, mapping the progression of damage and identifying critical failure points within the structure. This comprehensive evaluation enhances the understanding of structural response under ground settlements and contributes to the development of more resilient construction and retrofit strategies. The findings highlight the critical stages of damage progression, offering valuable insights for engineers and researchers in the field of civil engineering.
