The effects of earthquakes on non-structural components and medical equipment very often dictate the seismic vulnerability of health facilities, since their failure affec [...]

Seismic risk reduction is a fundamental task in earthquake prone regions. It affects also historical structures, which are characterized by a high degree of uncertainty d [...]

Structural Health Monitoring for civil structures is becoming increasingly popular in Europe and worldwide also because of the opportunities that it offers in the fields [...]

In Italy many precast industrial buildings built between 1950s and 1970s are characterised by beam – column connections based on concrete-neoprene friction strength. Nu [...]

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 [...]

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 main goal of this research is to quantify through an experimental approach the parameters of ductility, strength and stiffness, which characterise the seismic behavio [...]
