Multi-Directional Seismic Assessment of Historical Masonry Buildings by Means of Macro-Element Modelling: Application to a Building Damaged during the L’Aquila Earthquake (Italy)

Buildings, 2017
The experience of the recent earthquakes in Italy caused a shocking impact in terms of loss of human life and damage in buildings. In particular, when it comes to ancient constructions, their cultural and historical value overlaps with the economic and ...

Shaking Table Tests and Numerical Analysis of Rocking Vault‐Shaped Segmental Piers Equipped With an Annular Double Sliding System

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To enhance the structural robustness of bridges, a rocking arch‐shaped segmental pier with a double sliding system was previously proposed as a low‐cost solution to protect bridges in developing countries. The rocking behavior is triggered by halting the sliding motion, which increases the horizontal load‐bearing capacity and limits ...

Comparison of Seismic Performance Assessment Using Observed or Simulated Ground Motions in Seismic Hazard Analysis and Ground Motion Selection

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper illustrates opportunities for the use of simulated ground motions in seismic performance assessment – from seismic hazard, ground‐motion selection, response history analysis, and seismic demand hazard calculation. The illustration is through a comparative analysis with the conventional alternative of observed ground motions.

An SSI‐Informed Design for Tuned Mass Dampers With Small‐to‐Large Mass Ratios

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) are used to mitigate structural vibrations induced by seismic or wind excitation, by tuning the device to the system's dominant resonant frequencies. However, the TMD effectiveness can be undermined by soil‐structure interaction, which can lead to elongation of the vibration periods and to combined translational ...
