This contribution gives an overview of the SINAPS@ French research project (http://www.institutseism.fr/en/projects/sinaps/) which motivated the mini-symposium, and then [...]

When attempting to predict the seismic response of reinforced concrete (RC) structures, a trade-off has to be found out between a realistic representation of the dissipat [...]

Whatever the level of seismicity of a country, the seismic risk has to be assessed and accounted in the frame of nuclear plant safety, from its design, during its operati [...]

Seismic assessment of historical masonry structures is a crucial field of architectural heritage. However, for this kind of structures, it may be difficult to get informa [...]

The way of quantifying energy dissipations in reinforced concrete (RC) structures during seismic events is still a complex issue to solve out. However, the designer would [...]

Nowadays sustainable constructions imply an objective of energetic performances by reducing the level of thermal conduction. The thermal-bridge shunt elements, an innovat [...]

Severe loadings such as earthquake on reinforced concrete structures induce strong nonlinear behaviors till rupture, due to concrete cracking, steel plasticity and bond-s [...]

This paper deals with the behavior of reinforced concrete bearing walls subjected to seismic loading. The presentation focuses on the numerical tools dedicated to nonline [...]
