The influence of infills on the seismic response of frame structures has long been recognised. Typically, stiffness and strength of the infill and connections between inf [...]

This paper reports on the results of an ongoing Research Project aimed at computing the risk of collapse in code-conforming new Italian buildings. A companion paper descr [...]

This paper reports on the results of an ongoing Research Project aimed at computing the risk of collapse in new buildings conforming to the Italian Seismic Design Code. C [...]

In proximity of a seismogenic source (near-fault or near-source), meaning for maximum distances ranging from about one km to a few tens of km as a function of earthquake [...]

This paper presents a probabilistic seismic demand model for predicting the pseudo-acceleration response of a linear nonstructural component attached to a linear structur [...]

Seismic analysis of flexible earth-retaining structures, such as diaphragm walls, is a challenging soilstructure interaction problem whose rigorous solution calls for ref [...]

Eurocode 8 Part 3 (EC8-3) is devoted to assessment and retrofitting of existing buildings. In order to take into account the uncertainty in the knowledge of structural pr [...]
