The seismic waves show a variation of the signal characteristics at different points during the motion through soils. This difference is not only due to the time lag amon [...]

Existing reinforced concrete frame buildings designed for vertical loads only could suffer severe damage during earthquakes. In recent years, many research activities wer [...]

In this paper, Chinese rc (reinforced concrete) bridges piers damaged after a strong earthquake, were repaired and retrofitted by means of some innovative interventions w [...]

Utility systems are essential for assuring a high standard of life in developed countries. Water, electricity and roads are just some of the classical examples. Earthquak [...]

In this paper, the results of the experimental tests, carried out at the Laboratory on Materials and Structures of the University of Roma Tre to characterize masonry pane [...]

Existing reinforced concrete frame buildings with non-ductile detailing suffered severe damage and caused loss of life during earthquakes. Different rehabilitation system [...]

This research aims to study the seismic performance of existing r.c. bridge piers specimens heavily damaged after previous pseudodynamic tests and actually repaired and u [...]

Shaking table tests on a 3D infilled RC frame have been performed, as a part of a more complex research project, in the aim to study the effects of infill walls on RC fra [...]
