The need of compacting masonry in its plan and improving transverse connections to get
good seismic behaviours suggests the idea of using a three-dimensional tie system for the …

An extensive experimental campaign has been performed in the structural laboratory of the
University of Basilicata, Potenza, Italy on a full scale beam-column joint based on the post …

This paper describes results of shaking table testing of a post-tensioned timber frame
building in the structural laboratory of the University of Basilicata in Potenza, Italy. This …

This paper focuses on the development of energy dissipaters for rocking precast systems.
The energy dissipaters developed in this work are to be used externally, having the …

The high seismic vulnerability of several monumental masonry buildings can be ascribed to
the low strength of the materials employed, to the presence of wide openings and slender …

Implementing a low-damage design (LDD) approach to improve the seismic behavior of
existing RC bridge bents as a retrofit strategy is the main focus of the present study …

Commonly, the damage detection techniques for structures prone to earthquakes are based
on the changes of modal parameters between different structural states, namely before and …

This paper describes initial experimental testing to investigate feasible sources of passive
damping for the seismic design of post-tensioned glue laminated timber structures. These …

This paper describes the numerical modelling of post-tensioned timber (Pres-Lam) frame
systems under non-linear dynamic and static loading. From the conception of the post …

This paper describes the results of preliminary shaking table testing performed on a post-
tensioned glulam framed building in the structural laboratory of the University of Basilicata in …
