Numerical simulations of derived URM-RC buildings: Assessment of strengthening interventions with RC
Journal of Building Engineering, 2021 Abstract The use of reinforced concrete (RC) in retrofitting interventions on existing unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings has been spreading all over the world since the beginning of the twentieth century. However, many of these mixed URM–RC buildings have revealed to be particularly vulnerable to seismic action , and their inherent complex ...

Assessment of seismic vulnerability of RC frames at the end-of-row of buildings with floor-to-floor alignment using multi-strips analysis MSA [PDF]
JES: Journal of Engineering Sciences, 2022 During earthquakes’ excitation, adjacent buildings start vibrating out of phase (in different directions) leading to collisions with each other causing severe damage in a phenomenon known as structural pounding.

Evaluation and considerations about fundamental periods of damaged reinforced concrete buildings [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013 The aim of this paper is an empirical estimation of the fundamental period of reinforced concrete buildings and its variation due to structural and non-structural damage. The 2009 L'Aquila earthquake has highlighted the mismatch between experimental data

Seismic Behavior of Tunnel Form Reinforced Concrete Buildings with Mass Irregularity in Elevation [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2019 Non-uniform mass distribution in elevation is one of the main sources of irregularity in buildings that could lead to concentration of nonlinear deformations followed by local or global damage to buildings during earthquake excitation.
