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 of new buildings conforming to the Italian Seismic Design Code. C [...]

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 [...]

The seismic events which hit Central Italy on 24 August, October 26 and October 30 2016 have caused casualties and major damage mostly to buildings and architectural heri [...]

The paper deals with the seismic protection of existing buildings using external viscous damper systems to increase energy dissipation capacity. Usually the addition of d [...]

Viscous dampers are energy dissipation devices widely employed for the seismic control of new and existing building frames. To date, the performance of systems equipped w [...]

In the last few decades, high damping natural rubber (HDNR) bearings have been extensively employed for seismic isolation of bridges and buildings because of their low ho [...]

This work proposes an analytical technique for the analysis of the effects of axial loads on the dynamic behaviour and seismic response of tall and slender bridge piers. [...]

This paper presents a probabilistic methodology for the optimal risk-based design of linear viscous/visco-elastic dampers in single and/or coupled buildings [1]. The unce [...]

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 [...]
