Decision-making approaches for optimal seismic/energy integrated retrofitting of existing buildings
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2023 Given the ambitious targets of carbon emission reduction set for the very near future, it is now expected that retrofitting operations on existing buildings aim both at reducing their operational energy consumption and at improving their seismic ...

Seismic risk reduction through retrofitting of school masonry buildings from Romania
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2023 Retrofitting the existing building stock is needed since it can cause significant losses as in case of a damaging earthquake, particularly in structures used for public services, such as schools.

Out‐of‐plane reinforcement of masonry walls using joint-embedded steel cables [PDF]
, 2020 The out-of-plane mechanism (rocking) of walls often causes fatalities and collapses of historic buildings during earthquakes. This paper addresses the problem of assessing the seismic resistance of walls subjected to out-of-plane bending, before and ...

Masonry Walls Retrofitted with Vertical FRP Rebars
Buildings, 2020 The out-of-plane behaviour of the walls as a consequence of an earthquake is the main vulnerability of existing masonry structures. In the case of rigid in compression not tensile resistant material, incremental dynamic analyses may be employed to ...
