Advanced Seismic Assessment of Four Masonry Bell Towers in Italy after Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) Identification

, 2019
The paper presents an advanced seismic assessment of four masonry bell towers located in Northern Italy based on detailed 3D FE models on which elastic parameters were previously identified by operational modal analysis. The numerical assessment includes

A Multi-Disciplinary Approach to the Seismic Assessment of the National Palace of Sintra

International Journal of Architectural Heritage, 2019
The presence of important built heritage in Lisbon and surroundings, a seismically-prone area, always requests measures to protect them. The National Palace of Sintra, a complex structure composed of different unreinforced masonry buildings, is one of ...

Subjective Seismic Safety Assessments

Journal of Structural Engineering, 1984
The safety of ten structures which were damaged in the 1964 Alaska earthquake and two in the 1971 San Fernando one was assessed by considering seven subjective factors not evident in the usual resistance and load measures. The subjective factors were the financial climate, labor conditions, political climate, weather, quality of inspection, experience ...

Seismic Assessment

The first step in developing any solution is to properly diagnose the problem. Understanding structural vulnerabilities and deficiencies as part of a seismic assessment is critical to forming a solid foundation for subsequent retrofit design. This chapter summarises the broad topic of seismic assessment including the levels of assessment, the knowledge

Probabilistic Seismic Structural Assessment

Computing in Civil Engineering (2007), 2007
The deterministic seismic assessment methods remain insufficient to define structural behavior under earthquake effect due to the uncertain and random variables in the analysis. Including the probabilistic approaches into these analyses for definition of seismic structural behavior will give more rational results.

Seismic Risk Assessment

1995
Large earthquakes could potentially cause extensive property damage, loss of life, and environmental damage as a result of damage to critical facilities. Assessment of seismic risk to critical facilities such as nuclear power plants and chemical plants is not only important from the standpoint of a large capital investment but also because of potential

Evaluation of force‐based and displacement‐based out‐of‐plane seismic assessment methods for unreinforced masonry walls through refined model simulations

Earthquake engineering & structural dynamics (Print), 2018
The performance of force‐based and displacement‐based seismic assessment methods for the life‐safety limit state check of out‐of‐plane loaded unreinforced masonry walls is evaluated on the basis of refined numerical simulations.

Advanced Seismic Hazard Assessment

Pure and Applied Geophysics, 2010
Issues pertaining to urban risks are a pressing concern for people involved in disaster mitigation. With the progressing urban sprawl and the emergence of mega-cities around the world, disasters of all kinds become an inevitable consequence of uncontrolled urbanization.

Seismic Data Assessment

2018
In this chapter, I presented seismic data that was made available for analysis and interpretation. This data originated from four mines: El Teniente Diablo Regimento Sector (DR Sector), Northparkes Mines Lift 2 (NPM), PT Freeport Indonesia DOZ Mine (DOZ) and Palabora Mining Company (PMC).
