The project has been selected by a joint Commission of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the two countries and is co-funded by the Italian Ministry of Research and University. The research activities are aimed at improving the basic knowledge, the design procedures, the application systems, as well as the experimental tools of Seismic Isolation in order to promote its use in the Algerian current design practice for either new constructions and the seismic retrofitting of the existing ones. The main goals of the research project are: 1) dissemination of the knowledge in the seismic protection advanced techniques among researchers and designers; 2) layout of a laboratory for devices’ full scale testing; 3) education and training of technicians in the use and design of new seismic protection system; 4) contribution to the drafting of guidelines (compatibles with the existing Algerian seismic code and the usual design procedures) for the design of base-isolated buildings. The bilateral collaboration is motivated by the fact that Italy is a world-wide leading country in the application and production of devices for Seismic Isolation and has high scientific and a technological know-how; on the other hand, Algeria is a developing country characterised by elevated seismic risk where the demand for modern antiseismic design is increasing fast. Huge programs of building development are planned in Algeria, mainly in seismic areas; this suggests the use and proper application of seismic protection techniques with a high benefit-cost ratio, like Seismic Isolation. The paper gives an overview of the research project by highlighting the innovative methodological approach and reports on the results so far obtained.
