This paper presents a study on the behaviour of the walls of the Rocca Roveresca of Senigallia in Italy built in the XIV century on the ruins of a former Roman defensive [...]

Steel and concrete hybrid systems are obtained through a combination in series of steel elements and reinforced concrete elements with the aim of exploiting at their best [...]

This paper presents an analytical model, based on the beam-on-dynamic Winkler foundation approach, for the evaluation of the kinematic stress resultants in single incline [...]

The seismic events which hit Central Italy on 24 August, October 26 and October 30 2016 have caused casualties and major damage mostly to buildings and architectural heri [...]

In this work innovative hybrid coupled shear walls (HCSW) are considered, their design is discussed, their efficiency and limitations evaluated by means of nonlinear stat [...]

This work presents a simplified procedure for the evaluation of the kinematic stress resultants in single piles subjected to earthquake soil displacements. The procedure [...]

In this paper the seismic behaviour of single piles embedded in layered soil deposits is evaluated by considering the soil-pile kinematic interaction. The kinematic analy [...]

High Damping Rubber (HDR), commonly used for seismic isolation devices, may also be used to produce passive dissipation devices. HDR-based devices have a number of advant [...]

The aim of this paper is to study the effects of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) on the seismic response of coupled wall-frame structures on pile foundations considering [...]
