Recent earthquakes as the 2012 Emilia earthquake sequence showed that recently built unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings behaved much better than expected and sustained, despite the maximum PGA values ranged between 0.20-0.30 g, either minor damage or str ...
Nonstructural components in buildings can be subjected to very large acceleration and deformation demands during earthquakes. This is particularly true for flexible components that are tuned or nearly tuned to one of the modal frequencies of the supporting ...
In steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) with composite floor slabs, seismic loads are transmitted from the slab into the beam through shear studs. Shear strength degradation of the studs due to cyclic loading results into the loss of the load transfer mech ...
In capacity-designed steel moment resisting frames (MRFs), column base connections feature a strong-base/weak-column design philosophy. Prior studies on fixed-end wide flange steel columns featuring seismically compact cross sections subjected to coupled a ...

Cracks are the most important source of information about the damage that occurs to unreinforced masonry piers under seismic actions. To predict the structural state of unreinforced masonry piers after an earthquake, research models have been developed to ...

Numerical models that can simulate coupled geometric instabilities in steel beam-columns are required for the seismic assessment of certain steel moment-resisting frames. Reliably simulating coupled instabilities requires that the steel material is precise ...
This paper presents a procedure for the extension of the Vulnerability Index Method (VIM) to the seismic assessment of hybrid timber-masonry buildings. The research is based on the execution of a detailed numerical study of this peculiar structural typolog ...
Structural steels have long been used in construction applications. Their mechanical properties and behavior under seismic loading or under fatigue design are of considerable interest for researchers and engineers. Although extensive studies have been cond ...
This paper summarizes preliminary findings of nonlinear simulations aiming to quantify the seismic demands of codecompliant steel MRFs with variable panel zone targeted shear distortions, 𝛾!. The probability of beam fractures is explicitly considered in th ...
Earthquake loss estimation in composite-steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) necessitates a proper estimation of the level of damage in steel beam-to-slab connections. These usually feature welded headed shear studs to ensure the composite action between t ...
