Masonry infilled R/C buildings present a number of complexities inherent to inplan eccentricities and asymmetric layout of infills. Their dynamic earthquake response cann [...]

A Graphical Dynamic model is derived to describe the directional earthquake response of two-ways plan-asymmetric systems, which retains the insightful educational evidenc [...]

The holistic renovation of existing buildings is nowadays acknowledged as an essential and urgent action to reduce the environmental impact and increase the resilience of [...]

Recent earthquakes have demonstrated that the seismic behaviour of existing reinforced concrete buildings, not designed to resist to earthquake loadings, is strongly affe [...]

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 [...]

As a consequence of the large number of masonry buildings and their important historical value, there is an ongoing effort to investigate their structural behaviour. This [...]

In this paper, the results of a damage reconnaissance activity carried out on eight minor historic centers of Abruzzi after the 6.3 Mw L’Aquila earthquake, occurred on [...]

This paper reports on the damage observed after the recent April 6, 2009 earthquake that hit the city of L’Aquila, in the Abruzzi Region, in Italy. The main shock measu [...]

This paper reports the results of the seismic vulnerability assessment of an existing reinforced concrete highway bridge, “Della Valle viaduct” on Tollway 24, built i [...]

The present paper reports on an Italian collaborative research study on the applicability of nonlinear methods of analysis to regular and irregular existing RC buildings [...]
