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.

A Damage Model for Seismic Retrofitting of Structures [PDF]
Civil-Comp Proceedings, 2009 Numerous damage models have been developed in order to analyse the seismic behavior. Among the different possibilities existing in the literature, it is very clear that models developed along the lines of Continuum Damage Mechanics are more consistent with the definition of damage like a phenomenon with mechanical consequences as they include ...

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 ...

Seismic retrofitting strategies for pre-70 RC buildings: the effectiveness of "local interventions"
, 2022 Existing RC buildings are often vulnerable to seismic loading, thus requiring retrofitting strategies to mitigate such vulnerability. This is certainly true for existing RC buildings realized in Italy before ‘70s and often designed to sustain gravity ...

Simplified Guidelines for Retrofitting Scenarios in the European Countries
Energies, 2023 A large part of the European building stock was built before implementing the recent energy and structural codes, resulting in buildings characterized by deficiencies in terms of comfort, energy savings and structural safety.
