It is well known that the axial load plays an important role in the evaluation of the structural capacity of RC columns. In existing buildings this problem can be even mo [...]

The seismic assessment of existing buildings is an essential issue of seismic engineering. This work is focused on the effects of a bi-directional analysis on the evaluat [...]

This work is aimed at investigating the variation of the seismic response of RC structures subjected to different ensembles of ground motions in the nonlinear dynamic ana [...]

In recent years induced seismicity in the Netherlands considerably increased. This implied the need for a comprehensive study to assess the seismic vulnerability of the b [...]

A new structural approach allows the use of stone also in seismic areas. It consists in avoiding the weak point of stone’s structural behaviour - the absence of a signi [...]
