One of the most widespread structural systems is represented by Moment Resisting Frames (MRFs). resistant seismic frames. This structural system is made up of frames capable of resisting seismic actions through predominantly ...

The ultimate behaviour of aluminium members is strongly affected by the interactive local buckling in the elastic-plastic range occurring in the element plates constituting the cross-sections and by the strain-hardening ...

Results of experimental tests carried out on Reinforced Concrete (RC) frames and connections equipped with integrated slab pointed out that the presence of the slab increases the flexural capacity of the connection, by ...

Since the end of the eighties, numerous studies have been conducted analysing the relationship between the infrastructures and the economic development of the territory, highlighting its close correlation. In the last ...

The Theory oj Plastic Mechanism Control (TPMC), based on the application oj the kinematic theorem oj the plastic collapse, has been developed in the nineties with rejerence to moment-resisting jrames (MRFs) and progressively ...

Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) composites represents nowadays an innovative and efficient technique for strengthening of masonry structural elements. In recent years, the use of plant fibres within the composite, instead ...

Ph.D. Thesis proposes a Soft-Computing approach capable of supporting the engineer judgement in the selection and design of the cheapest solution for seismic retrofitting of existing RC framed structure. Chapter 1 points ...

The study of the static and dynamic behaviour of the architectural heritage of historical-artistic value made up of rigid stone blocks is a topic of particular interest in the field of modern Seismic Engineering. Such ...

In last few years, scientist and researchers are working to find the best solution for integrated reinforcement techniques to achieve integrated (Structural and Thermal) upgrading or retrofitting of masonry walls using ...

One of the most common ways to conceive seismic-resistant steel structures is by adopting the Moment Resisting Frames (MRFs). This approach ensures that the building withstands the seismic event through the development of ...
