Ground motion selection is one of the most important phases in the derivation of fragility
curves through non-linear dynamic analyses. In this context, an easy-to-use software …

Different forms of hazard can affect structures throughout their existence. The occurrence of
a seismic event in areas exposed to different risks or already affected by other phenomena …

Double Curved Concave Surface Sliders (DCCSS) are seismic isolators based on the
pendulum principle widely used worldwide. Coherently with European code, DCCSS do not …

The seismic performance of existing RC frame buildings seismically retrofitted by base
isolation is examined. Two different types of isolation systems are considered, ie: rubber …

The building stock around the world is exposed to different types of natural actions such as
earthquakes or landslides. In particular, Italy is one of the countries worldwide most affected …

Existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings can be affected by different actions that can
induce permanent or transient effects on them. While applications concerning the seismic …

The insertion of steel bracing systems equipped with dissipative devices is a widely used
technique for the seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete (rc) framed buildings; yet, few …

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 …

Increasing environmental concerns are leading to measures and incentives aimed at
reducing the energy consumption of buildings, which must be accompanied by substantial …

This paper presents an insight on the seismic response and seismic risk of base-isolated
structures performed within the RINTC project, considering different configurations of rubber …
