The loss of functionality of health care facilities, which should be guaranteed particularly in the aftermath of moderate-to-severe earthquake ground motions, is typicall [...]

The paper deals with the topic of nonlinear static and nonlinear dynamic analyses of multi-storey r/c frame buildings designed according to Eurocode provisions. In partic [...]

Seismic risk reduction is a fundamental task in earthquake prone regions. It affects also historical structures, which are characterized by a high degree of uncertainty d [...]

Structural Health Monitoring for civil structures is becoming increasingly popular in Europe and worldwide also because of the opportunities that it offers in the fields [...]

The paper deals with the topic of analyses performed according to modern code provisions, in particular Eurocode 8 (EC8) rules. Elastic, non linear static and non linear [...]

The paper deals with the topic of seismic response of three existing structures. They are multi-storey r/c frame buildings, a very spread typology in Italy; in particular [...]

The response spectrum method, as usually applied, provides the maximum positive values of individual response, but the critical combination of these responses may be char [...]

The paper deals with the effects of different seismic input on systems structural response, considering the variability of the input on dynamic non linear analyses perfor [...]
