Comparative Economic Assessment of R/C Buildings with Innovative Seismic Protection Systems
Abstract eng: Knowledge of base-isolation and energy-dissipation is broadly developed all over the world but the number of applications is everywhere limited. The extra-cost associated to the insertion of the protection tools always represents a strong restraint to the application of new technologies. The direct cost comparison induce a wrong evaluation, because it does not take into account for the differences in the performance levels characterising the conventional and enhanced solutions. Comparative analyses of the probabilistic characterization of the seismic response of conventional and advanced variants of the same structural scheme, in terms of story drifts, plastic hinges' rotations, floor accelerations, allow to demonstrate the effectiveness of the innovative protection technologies.
