Ancient Greek and Roman structures composed of large heavy members that simply lie on top of each other in a perfect-fit construction without the use of connecting mortar [...]

An experimental and numerical investigation is presented that studies the sliding response of a rigid body when subjected to horizontal dynamic and earthquake excitations [...]

The preliminary design of seismically isolated R/C highway overpasses is the target of a software based on the current design provisions of Eurocode 8 (Part 2) as well as [...]

The present paper focuses on both existing and new R/C bridge overpasses and aims at a) the design and pilot production of elastomeric (steel-laminated) bearings, specifi [...]

The upgrading of the flexural capacity of reinforced concrete (R/C) vertical members with externally applied CFRP layers as means of tensile reinforcement is investigated [...]

This paper presents results of the measured and predicted response of a bridge pier model structure which has been erected at the Volvi-Greece European Test Site. After a [...]

A series of linear and non-linear numerical simulations are presented of the dynamic and earthquake behaviour of post-Byzantine churches in Greece. They are made of mason [...]
