Shortcomings exist with respect to accounting for the influence of non-structural components, e.g. gypsum panels installed on the ceilings (floors and roof diaphragms) and walls, on the response of cold-formed steel (CFS) framed structures subjected to sei ...
Definition of proper methodologies for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to monitor debris flows will be done in two workshops: one in each participant institution. The objective is to do field demonstrations and measurements to exploit similarities between Al ...
Earthquakes do not kill people, buildings do. Transforming existing cities in earthquake resilient systems should be the main goal for researchers in the field of the seismic analysis of entire towns. Providing means for realistic disaster risk scenario ca ...
Color plus depth format allows building 3D representations of scenes within which the users can freely navigate by changing their viewpoints. In this paper we present a framework for view synthesis when the user requests an arbitrary viewpoint that is clos ...
In Italy, after the destructions of World War II, due the particular development of economy and the political decision in the field of reconstruction, a government option for building construction industrialization comes up only at the beginning of ‘60s. A ...
Constraints and regulations related to new buildings are constantly evolving and all these changes, in our ways of thinking and producing, will have an impact on standards. For the policy field, contractual relationships, risk-allocation models and procedu ...
Greenhouse gas emissions from extracting and manufacturing building materials, often termed “embodied carbon,” are produced before buildings are occupied and are more critical to meeting global climate targets than commonly assumed. In order to motivate re ...
The performance-based earthquake engineering framework utilizes probabilistic seismic demand models to obtain accurate estimates of building engineering demand parameters. These parameters are utilized to estimate earthquake-induced losses in terms of prob ...
bstract A wide range of approximate methods has been historically proposed for performance-based assessment of frame buildings in the aftermath of an earthquake. Most of these methods typically require a detailed analytical model representation of the resp ...

The intelligent building, a major smart city research and development domain, has grown beyond the scope of automation, currently focusing on the occupant centered approaches and the ancillary services offered to the power grid. The Internet of Things (IoT ...
