The seismic performance of the infill masonry (IM) walls is characterized by the interaction with the surrounding reinforced concrete (RC) frames, which can result in dif [...]

Recent earthquakes around the world, particularly those that have recently occurred in the southern regions of Europe, have provoked extensive damages in many traditional [...]

An experimental cyclic campaign of RC hollow piers has being carried out in the Laboratory for Earthquake and Structural Engineering (LESE) of the Faculty of Engineering [...]

During last decades, have been made many studies about RC columns under uniaxial and biaxial horizontal cyclic loading , however, the knowledge about biaxial behavior is [...]

The present study is focused on the analysis of damage evolution observed in an experimental campaign on 24 RC columns tested under uniaxial and biaxial loading. The obse [...]

During mid-2010, the PEER (Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center) and NEES (George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation) institutions co-s [...]

This work consists on the seismic analysis of the Talübergang Warth bridge studied within the framework of the European research project entitled VAB - Vulnerability Ass [...]

This paper aims at identifying suitable approaches for the numerical modelling of stone masonry arch bridges with the purpose of estimating the traffic effects by means o [...]

Non-linear reinforced concrete bridge piers’ cyclic behavior is known for being influenced by shear. That is particularly visible in the case of hollow piers where the [...]

The strong motivation for this work relies on the peculiar structural behavior of RC hollow section piers, quite similar to structural wall, and therefore the higher diff [...]
