SUMMARY A methodology for the performance‐based seismic risk assessment of classical
columns is presented. Despite their apparent instability, classical columns are, in general …

From the mechanical point of view, the particularity of masonry structures stems from the fact
that the structural system is hard to be modeled by the classical Continuum Mechanics …

The seismic vulnerability of statues mounted on monolithic or multidrum columns is
presented in this article. Emphasis is given to the procedure that should be followed for the …

This paper presents a numerical study of the response to earthquake actions of eight ancient
Greek multidrum columns, which were chosen as representative of a broad spectrum of the …

Throughout history, dry‐stone masonry structures have been strengthened with different
types of metal connectors in order to increase their resistance which enabled their survival …

The complex dynamics of a quarter‐scale model of a graphite nuclear reactor core,
representative of the second generation of British advanced gas‐cooled nuclear reactors, is …

On the south flank of the Acropolis of Athens there are two 10-m high columns belonging to
the monument of Thrasyllos, free-standing since the third century BC. Obviously they have …

A novel, compact mathematical formulation is presented to describe the dynamic rocking
response of single and double block systems subjected to gravity and/or ground excitation …

The seismic performance assessment of the ancient Temple of Aphaia in Aegina island,
Greece, is presented. The Temple of Aphaia was erected around 500BC using porous …

Reliable estimation of seismic stability of structures built in seismically active regions is an
objective that requires a complex investigation and different types of activities. For historical …
