Repair work of conventional steel-concrete composite frames can be very expensive, sometimes impossible due to practical problems. EU-funded research project FUSEIS (RFCS [...]

To calculate the behaviour factor by means of a re-analysis of a pushover curve, each modern seismic code defines the reference parameters in a different way which result [...]

In this work, the nonlinear analysis of an existing industrial steel structure (Sodium building), and its retrofitting using SSCD dampers is demonstrated. Specific numeri [...]

The purpose of the present contribution is to summarize the results achieved in the frame of the research project MEAKADO funded by the Research Fund for Coal and Steel o [...]

Concentrically braced frames (CBF) represent a very effective structural form against horizontal loading, providing high lateral resistance at the same time limiting late [...]
