Post‐earthquake field assessment and damage correlation of elevated reinforced concrete water tanks in Kahramanmaras/Elbistan, Türkiye

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study evaluates the seismic performance of elevated reinforced concrete (RC) water tanks in the Elbistan region following the February 6, 2023 Kahramanmaras–Elbistan earthquakes. Field investigations, visual damage surveys, non‐destructive testing (ultrasonic pulse velocity—UPV), concrete compressive strength measurements, peak ground ...

Modeling of seismic hazard

open access: yes, 2018
The design and construction of structures in seismic areas requires knowledge of the seismic actions to which they can be subjected throughout their useful life. In general, it is not enough to establish what would be the maximum acceleration which could act upon the structure to be designed, but, in addition, the frequency with which the seismic ...

Fault slip-rate variations during crustal-scale strain localisation, central Italy

open access: yes, 2002
Rates of plate motion are generally uniform over 10–102 Myrs timescales. Faults between tectonic plates might, therefore, be expected to show temporally-uniform slip-rates if the same number of faults remain active. For an extending region of the Eurasia-

Structural capacity of precast concrete walls with openings: A parametric study on connection types and reinforcement ratios

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The structural role of precast concrete walls with openings is often overlooked in design practice due to concerns about reduced stiffness, stress concentration, cracking around openings, and potential unexpected failure modes under seismic loading.

Seismic evaluation of the southbound Stellenberg Interchange Bridge, B5593, in South Africa

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a nonlinear finite element assessment of the seismic vulnerability of Bridge B5593, located in the south‐western region of South Africa. Previous evaluations identified a high likelihood of column failure; however, these were based on linear material models incapable of capturing damage evolution.

Some considerations on performance-based seismic design

open access: yes, 2007
In the last years, a substantial change has been brought in the vision of the design objectives of an engineered facility: from the need to ensure its resistance at a minimum cost in a deterministic context, to the more recent design approaches aimed at ...
