On the mechanical modeling and the optimal design of tensegrity structures
(2015-04-22)
In this thesis, we investigate the use of the most fundamental elements; cables for tension and bars for compression, in the search for the most efficient bridges. Stable arrangements of these elements are called tensegrity ...
Influenza del comportamento ciclico dei collegamenti trave-colonna sulla risposta sismica di telai in acciaio regolari o in presenza di "set-backs"
(2015-04-28)
In accordo con i criteri della progettazione sismica tradizionale, la dissipazione dell’energia sismica in ingresso nei telai sismo-resistenti avviene in alcune zone degli elementi strutturali che vengono impegnate in campo ...
A conceptual model to design recycled aggregate concrete for structural applications
(2015-05-05)
This thesis proposes a conceptual formulation for controlling the resulting mechanical
properties of Recycled Aggregate Concretes (RACs) via generalised mix-design rules intended at
covering the specific features of Recycled ...
Pseudo dynamic tests and numerical analysis of free from damage multistorey steel buildings with innovative connections
(2019-04-17)
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 ...
Innovative probabilistic methodologies to assess seismic vulnerability of simple supported girder bridges
(2019-04-15)
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 ...
Robustness and seismic behaviour of structures equipped with traditional and innovative beam-to-column connections
(2017-05-29)
Moment Resisting Frames are structures that withstand seismic actions by the bending of girders,
columns and connections. Their main source of stiffness and lateral strength is given by the flexural
resistance of members ...
Vulnerability analysis of buildings in areas affected by slow-moving landslides and subsidence phenomena
(2017-06-12)
Slow-moving landslides and subsidence phenomena yearly induce huge damages both direct (on structures and/or infrastructures with them interacting) and indirect (corresponding to the associated economic losses). For this ...
Caratterizzazione del comportamento statico e dinamico delle strutture monumentali
(2018-06-06)
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 ...
Flax TRM composite systems for strengthening of masonry: from the material identification to the structural behaviour
(2020-04-14)
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 ...
Simplified methods for the evaluation of seismic performances of steel MRFs and CBFs
This work aims at the definition, application and validation of
a simplified performance-based method for the evaluation of seismic
performances of steel buildings. Reference is made to steel Moment Resisting
Frames ...
