Nonlinear static procedures, which relate the seismic demand of a structure to that of an equivalent single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) oscillator, are well-established tool [...]

RINTC, which started in 2015, is a joint project of ReLUIS and EUCENTRE, two centers of competence for seismic risk assessment of the Italian civil protection. The goal o [...]

Simplified computational tools for the seismic analysis of structures are often used within the framework of performance-based earthquake engineering. Substitution of a c [...]

Critical Infrastructures (CIs) provide essential goods and services for modern society; they are highly integrated and have growing mutual dependencies. Recent natural ev [...]

Probabilistic seismic risk assessment of civil infrastructures has been attracting attention in Japan, especially after recent mega-earthquakes with a long-lasting series [...]

The paper presents part of a study on the probabilistic seismic performance assessment of an existing industrial facility featuring a steel structure as the main building [...]

Evaluation of the vulnerability of buildings in urban areas to flooding is a fundamental step in flooding risk mitigation. In this work, a new GIS-compatible computer pla [...]

Non-linear static procedures are well-established analytical tools for performancebased seismic design and assessment. On the other hand, near-source (NS) ground motions [...]

The bilinear approximation of force-deformation capacity curves is investigated for structural systems with non-negative-stiffness. This piecewise linear approximation pr [...]

The seismic assessment of existing buildings is subject to uncertainties. These uncertainties can sometimes be comparable to that of the ground motion representation. Sei [...]
