Seismic amelioration of existing reinforced concrete buildings. Strategy to optimize the amount of reinforcement for joints [PDF]
, 2017 Most of the existing Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings in Italy were built according to obsolete regulations that were not enough aware of issues related to seismic design so that they need to be upgraded by pursuing either amelioration or full seismic ...

Application of a prioritisation scheme for seismic intervention in schools buildings in Italy [PDF]
, 2008 A risk management framework has recently been developed to assign priorities for the rehabilitation of school buildings in Italy, and to give timescales within which retrofit or demolition must take place.

A novel formulation of the flexural overstrength factor for steel beams
Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2013 Abstract The ductile design of steel structures is directly influenced by the flexural behaviour of steel beams, which should be sufficient to allow plastic hinges to rotate until the collapse mechanism is completely developed. To guarantee the achievement of such a performance, the beam flexural overstrength must be quantified to appropriately apply

Seismic Performance of CFST Frame-Steel Plate Shear Walls Connected to Beams Only
Shock and Vibration, 2021 The safety and cost of structures composed of concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) frame-steel plate shear walls (SPSWs) with two-side connections are governed by the seismic performance.
