The Pier Luigi Nervi's concrete structure of Palazzetto dello Sport: Modeling and dynamic characterization

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents a numerical and experimental study aimed at the modeling and dynamic characterization of the reinforced concrete structure of the Palazzetto dello Sport in Rome, designed and by Pier Luigi Nervi with Annibale Vitellozzi, and built by Nervi & Bartoli contractors in 1956‐57.

Robustness assessment of reinforced concrete structures for different failure scenarios

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study describes the robustness assessment of 3D reinforced concrete structures analyzing the response of the 2D frames in different design configurations and failure scenarios. The structures are characterized by both frames with wide beams and seismic‐resistant frames with deep beams.

Experimental evaluation of reinforced concrete columns produced with natural perlite aggregates under cyclic loading

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract A total of four reinforced concrete (RC) columns were tested to compare the structural capacities of RC columns produced by natural perlite aggregates and conventional concrete. The structural performance of the RC columns made from natural perlite aggregates was compared to conventional RC columns regarding the same concrete strength levels ...

Comparative analysis of the seismic hazard of Central China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Seismic hazard assessment is globally recognised as a tool in identifying levels of earthquake ground shaking within an area. However, methodologies for seismic hazard calculation are wide ranging and produce variations in results and maps.

CORR‐DATA: A database of corrosion parameters measured on existing reinforced concrete structures for enhanced structural assessment

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The corrosion of reinforcing bars embedded in concrete strongly compromises structural performance over time. However, its detection and quantification remain challenging due to limited comprehensive knowledge of natural corrosion patterns in existing structures.

Experimental investigations and design of precast concrete‐filled steel corrugated sheet slender columns with intermediate connection

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Concrete‐filled steel corrugated sheet (CFSCS) offers confinement to the core concrete while the outer galvanized corrugated steel sheet (GCSS) offers excellent corrosion resistance. Application of precast multiple CFSCS columns connected through high‐performance concrete (HPC) in constructing a slender column offers ease of construction while

OpenSHA implementation of the GCIM approach for ground motion selection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Ground motion selection is known to be an important step in seismic hazard and risk assessment. There have been numerous procedures proposed for selecting ground motions ranging from somewhat ad-hoc guidelines specified in seismic design codes to more ...

Stochastic Response of Composite Post Insulators under Seismic Excitation

open access: yesBuildings
Composite post insulators are crucial facilities in substations and are prone to significant damage during seismic disasters. However, existing research lacks seismic motion models suitable for power facilities and rarely involves stochastic models ...
