Reliable stress-strain behavior of concrete is necessary particularly when a member is subjected to combined bending and axial load and confinement effects should be acco [...]

Feasibility of earthquake early warning systems (EEWS) depends on the possibility of immediately detecting the earthquake’s characteristics and on the ability to design [...]

Vector-valued ground motion intensity measures have been extensively investigated recently. Proposed measures are mainly related to pairs of spectral ordinates because th [...]

Seismic assessment of historical buildings is a complex problem due to the wide variety of involved aspects, such as the quality of masonry, the structural systems, the l [...]

Structural and seismic engineering are involved in the design of new industrial facilities, but have certainly a primary role in the evaluation and upgrading of existing [...]

Over last years, Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) wrapping effectiveness has been clearly confirmed especially with reference to concrete structures. Despite evident advant [...]

Codes for design and constructions of pressure-vessel provide a number of loading conditions that have to be considered. Pressures are primary loadings that are applied e [...]

The present paper illustrates preliminary results of the project TELLUS STABILITA, an ongoing three-year project funded by the Italian Ministry of Research focusing on mo [...]

A base isolated system for the reaction mass of two 3x3m movable shaking tables was designed and built to perform experimental tests on large scale structures, especially [...]

Several different technical options are nowadays available to seismically upgrade an existing building. Selecting the best one with reference to a given structure general [...]
