This paper discusses the seismic vulnerability of Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings
designed to gravity loads only, which are representative of the Italian building stock mainly …

The results of 153 specimens from an experimental study on fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)
and steel spiral-confined (FRP-SS-confined) circular concrete columns were collected from …

In the reinforced concrete (RC) structures with steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) as a lateral
resisting system, to obtain maximum capacity of SPSW, implementing proper connections …

Axial compression tests were carried out on 72 FRP (fiber reinforced polymer)–stirrup
composite-confined concrete columns. Stirrups ensure the residual bearing capacity and …

In this paper a multiperformance optimization procedure to design dissipative bracing
systems controlling the structural performance while minimizing the intervention cost is …

The protection of cultural heritage from seismic risk is an open issue due to the difficulties in
finding technical solutions allowing a balance between their effectiveness and invasiveness …

The assessment of maximum displacement demand is a crucial point in the design of
seismic isolating systems, in particular when the non linear behaviour of devices is modeled …

The present paper demonstrates the results of an experimental study on full-scale masonry
columns strengthened with reinforced high ductile concrete (RHDC) system. This technique …

Nowadays, seismic retrofit through isolation strategy represents a consolidated technique of
protection against design earthquakes. This technique is also applied on existing structures …

In this paper, an analytical expression was derived for the prediction of shear strength of
slender reinforced concrete (RC) beams with stirrups. Failure occurring in B and D regions …
