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 reports on the results of an ongoing Research Project aimed at computing the risk of collapse in new buildings conforming to the Italian Seismic Design Code. C [...]

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 [...]

In this paper a general sensitivity-based gradient methodology developed to investigate the relation between seismic performance reduction and regularity of brace overstr [...]

Frame finite element models permit obtaining, at moderate computational cost, significant information on the dynamic response behavior of steel–concrete composite (SCC) [...]

In this paper a design method for buckling-restrained braced steel frames is examined. The proposed method aims to obtain an uniform yielding of all Buckling Restrained B [...]
