The aim of this paper is to investigate the role of damage and loss analysis in the Performance-Based Wind Engineering. The loss of structural serviceability under the ac [...]

The robustness of a structure, understood as its ability not to suffer disproportionate damages as a result of a limited initial failure, is an intrinsic requirement, inh [...]

Wind engineering problems are characterized by the significant uncertainty affecting both the acting loads and the structural characteristics. A relevant contribution is [...]

In recent years, the use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites has become increasingly popular for retrofitting concrete elements. One important application regard [...]

Complex structural systems like long suspension bridges, are exposed to various external loads such as traffic-induced and wind-induced during their service life. These s [...]

The robustness of a structure, intended as its ability not to suffer disproportionate damages as a result of a limited initial failure, is an intrinsic requirement, inher [...]

The modern design philosophy known as the performance-based design has earned the attention of the scientific community over the last two decades, especially in the field [...]
