An effective assessment of the static and dynamic structural behavior of historical monuments requires the development and validation of suitable adaptive structural mode [...]

The paper investigates the reliability of simply supported bridges retrofitted with seismic isolation, using fragility curves, which describe the probability of reaching [...]

New tools for the analysis of the seismic behaviour of plan-asymmetric structures are herein presented and the concepts of “polar spectrum” and limit domains are disc [...]

This paper presents the most significant results obtained within a broad range of experimental tests aimed at evaluating both the effectiveness and robustness of the Base [...]

Base isolation is nowadays widely considered as an effective strategy to protect structures subject to seismic excitations. However, it has been shown that, in the case o [...]
