This work presents the first step of a methodology to calculate monetary losses in reinforced concrete moment resisting buildings through an innovative and advanced metho [...]

The adequate modelling of the nonlinear cyclic demand of structural elements is deemed crucial to ensure a reduced level of uncertainty in the numerical estimates of the [...]

The recent concerns regarding the seismic safety of the existing building stock have placed the review of current seismic assessment procedures on the top of the agenda. [...]

This paper presents a numerical study on the behavior of Rubberized Concrete (RuC) Filled Steel Tubes (CFST)—RuCFST. Firstly, recent research on RuC and RuCFST is prese [...]

This paper deals with the design and behaviour of panel zones in steel moment-resisting frames. A detailed review of previous and existing European and North American pan [...]

This paper examines the seismic performance of composite steel-concrete moment-resisting frames. Several sensitivity and parametric investigations are undertaken using an [...]
