A shake table protocol for seismic assessment and qualification of acceleration‐sensitive
nonstructural elements (NEs) is developed. The paper critically reviews existing protocols …

A novel multibody rocking model is developed to investigate the dynamic response of two
stacked rigid blocks placed on a linear base isolation device. The model is used to …

Shake table testing represents the best option for assessing and qualifying acceleration-
sensitive nonstructural elements (NEs). Several testing protocols are defined in regulations …

The paper investigates the seismic response of nonstructural elements (NEs), focusing on
acceleration‐sensitive components housed in buildings, modelled as inelastic Ibarra …

While earthquakes pose a threat to both museum buildings and collections, the latter can be
especially vulnerable. Seismic damage to museum collections can be minimized by …

Earthquake damage to freestanding contents has received significant concerns in past
earthquakes. Shaking table tests are conducted to investigate the seismic performance of …

Earthquakes pose a significant threat to museum artifacts, as they can lead to irreversible
damage or even complete destruction. Nylon lines have been commonly used in museums …

Fasteners are widely used in museums as an attachment method to secure objects.
However, due to the lack of research on the seismic behaviour of fasteners under seismic …

In seismic-prone areas, ecclesiastical masonry complexes have shown very high
vulnerability, as detected after the last Italian earthquakes, such as those that occurred in …

Past earthquakes highlighted the vulnerability of cleanrooms, especially in earthquake-
prone countries like Italy; the post-earthquake reconnaissance showed that damage to …
