Reinforced concrete (RC) coupling beams are often used to transfer and resist the earthquake loads. Coupling beams can improve significantly the stiffness and the strength of the all lateral resistant structure. By performing inelastically they decrease th ...
The seismic assessment of masonry buildings, both modern unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings and historical heritage constructions, is a complex task, characterised by a several sources of uncertainty, which regard the appropriate modelling of strategy th ...
A unidirectional shake-table test was performed on the half-scale prototype of a natural stone masonry building aggregate, to investigate the seismic performance of this type of historical construction and to assess the effectiveness of two retrofit soluti ...
The region of Basel is considered one of the most seismically vulnerable in Switzerland: in 1356, a very damaging earthquake hit the city, which nowadays is characterized by a significant concentration of population and economic activities. Hence, the Cant ...
Though flexible diaphragms play a role in the seismic behaviour of unreinforced masonry buildings, the effect of the connections between floors and walls is rarely discussed or explicitly modelled when simulating the response of such buildings. These flexi ...
Equivalent frame models are an effective tool for the seismic assessment of existing masonry structures. Due to their simplicity, these models can be used to perform multiple nonlinear dynamic analyses, accounting explicitly for different sources of modeli ...
This paper explores the concept of dissipative exposed column base connections by means of anchor rod yielding. This concept aims at enhancing the seismic performance of low-rise steel moment-resisting frames (MRFs). A mechanics-based model is proposed tha ...
This paper describes a research program involving wood-sheathed and cold-formed steel (CFS) framed diaphragm assemblies.The diaphragm’s response to in-plane monotonic and reversed cyclic lateral loading is investigated in an effort to characterize the seis ...
Reinforced concrete (RC) coupling beams are often used to transfer and resist the earthquake loads. Coupling beams can improve significantly the stiffness and the strength of the all lateral resistant structure. By performing inelastically they decrease th ...
Although a wealth of knowledge on the behavior of steel moment frame structures has been gained from past experimental studies, there are only a limited number of system-level tests examining seismic response near collapse. Such experimental data is essent ...
