The seismic assessment of structures depends on a large number of aleatory and epistemic uncertainties, which are majorly associated to the estimation of the structural d [...]

The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the cyclic behavior of RC hollow piers, with and without with CFRP retrofit, by comparison of experimental tests results w [...]

Over the last years, there has been increasing interest on experimental testing to support better understanding of structural behaviour under earthquake loading, with emp [...]

The assessment of seismic design of long span Metal buildings is controlled by several factors and considerations. The basic considerations for seismic design are related [...]

Development of earthquake risk mitigation strategies is a major concern of the seismology and seismic engineering communities with the main purpose to evaluate the impact [...]

The recent concerns regarding the seismic safety of the existing building stock have placed the review of current seismic assessment procedures on the top of the agenda. [...]

Reports of seismic effects on reinforced concrete bridges, especially those built according to the codes of practice of the seventies, show that a lot of them behave poor [...]

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 [...]

This work addresses basic concepts regarding the wind effects on tall buildings and their subsequent wind responses. The methodology proposed in Eurocode 1 for quantifica [...]

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