Local soil conditions can significantly modify the seismic motion expected on the soil
surface. In most cases, the indications concerning the influence of the underlying soil …

This study proposes a practical fragility-oriented approach for the seismic retrofit design of
case-study structures. This approach relies on mapping the increase of the global …

Robust performance‐based earthquake assessment should consider the effects of both
aleatory and epistemic uncertainty on seismic response parameters. While the effects of …

This recommendation is written to improve the assessment of the in situ. Compressive
strength of concrete in existing structures by combining core strength values and non …

With a view to providing general Storey Loss Functions (SLFs) for existing reinforced
concrete (RC) residential buildings in Italy, this paper layouts the procedure and the …

Abstract Geotechnical Seismic Isolation (GSI) is an innovative technique for protecting
structures in earthquake-prone areas. The main idea is to improve the foundation soil so that …

Seismic risk management of building portfolios requires a reliable evaluation of earthquake-
induced losses. This is commonly performed using consequence models linking structure …

The seismic assessment of existing masonry infilled reinforced concrete (RC) building
portfolios is a highly relevant issue in Italy and other Mediterranean countries, particularly in …

In the last years, many research efforts have been focusing on the development of fragility
and risk models of different building classes and structural typologies for large-scale seismic …

The problem of progressive collapse has been a major topic in structural forensic
engineering since its inception, but it has recently received a growing interest. In the last two …
