In the paper one presents some research developed at the University of Naples in the field of structural dynamic control. The research is mainly focused on the possibilit [...]

The mitigation of the structural response under seismic action can be achieved , as well known, by introducing proper variations to the mechanical parameters of the struc [...]

In the paper one addresses problems concerning the analysis in the static and dynamic ranges of structures made by masonry material. The analysis of quasi-brittle constru [...]

In the paper one addresses the problem of the evaluation of contribution of the masonry infill embedded into structural elastic rc or steel frames to the overall lateral [...]

This paper provides information on the latest R&D within COVICOCEPAD project approved in the framework of Eurocores program. It addresses the use of TLD, base isolati [...]

The paper focuses on curved non linear structures with lose material, mainly addressing the problem of safety assessment of masonry bridges under static loads. This issue [...]

In the paper a theoretical procedure about the deformation process –up to the collapse condition—of a masonry 2D solid subjected to an increasing quasi-static loading [...]

In the paper one summarizes a recent model for designing the reinforcement optimal distribution in the case of some planar elements, e.g. fiber-reinforced-polymers strips [...]

In the paper one addresses the problem of similar structures characterized by the same material and geometry, and subject to proportional loads. After introducing the rel [...]

The analysis of seismic vulnerability of old masonry structures is very hard, especially when already damaged by earthquakes. Modelling of the structure is often very har [...]
