Seismic vulnerability assessment for Montreal
Georisk: Assessment and Management of Risk for Engineered Systems and Geohazards, 2015ABSTRACTIn Canada, Montreal is the second city with the highest seismic risk. This is due to its relatively high seismic hazard, old infrastructures and high population density. The region is characterised by moderate seismic activity with no recent record of a major earthquake.

BIM Modeling Methods for Seismic Vulnerability Assessment
BIM in Construction & Architecture, 2019The dramatic seismic events that have recently occurred in Italy have highlighted the extreme fragility of the existing built heritage. The present article intends to investigate the potential of BIM modeling in structural improvement projects of existing buildings with framed structure in reinforced concrete.

Assessment of seismic vulnerability of structures
Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2006The paper addresses the application of effective tools for investigating structural integrity under earthquake loading, namely experimental testing, computer analysis and field data collection, and their combination. In particular, the application of hybrid (experimental-analytical) distributed (using several sites) simulation, hereafter referred to as

Assessing the seismic vulnerability of a historical building
Engineering Structures, 2013The work deals with the structural analysis of an historic masonry building, Palazzo del Capitano in Mantua, subject to significant static instabilities due to an overturning of the longitudinal facades, probably related to ground settlements. The exact geometry of the structure is acquired by means of the laser scanning technique and thanks to ...

Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of the Washington Monument
2014In 2011, the Washington Monument was subjected to ground shaking from the Magnitude 5.8 Mineral, Virginia earthquake (Mineral event), whose epicenter was roughly 80 miles from the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Shaking of the 555-foot tall unreinforced stone masonry structure resulted in damage, most significantly to the pyramidion, the pyramidal ...

SIMPLIFIED PROCEDURES FOR SEISMIC VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT OF MASONRY CHURCHES
2020The conservation of the huge building heritage in Italy is a very complex challenge considering the high structural vulnerability that characterizes historical buildings and the significant seismic hazard affecting the Italian territory. In order to adopt preventive policies aimed at preserving such a valuable heritage, in the last decades many ...

Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Fuel Storage Tanks in Italy
Journal of Pressure Vessel Technology, 2018Seismic hazard represents one of the possible triggering causes for NaTech accidents in refineries and production plants. The vulnerability of steel storage tanks was evaluated within the framework of a rapid risk assessment. Tanks dataset is composed of 70 refinery items in located in various parts of Italy and the seismic calculations are performed ...

Seismic vulnerability assessment and design of pipelines
Journal AWWA, 2010Pipelines are vulnerable to earthquake shaking (ground motion) and permanent ground deformation (PGD) resulting from liquefaction landslide and fault movement. Pipe performance during an earthquake depends on four parameters: ruggedness, resistance to bending, joint flexibility, and joint restraint.

Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of Two Nepalese Rana Palaces
Earthquake Spectra, 2017The Rana dynasty ruled Nepal from 1846 to 1951 and was responsible for the construction of a number of private and government Neoclassical‐ or Baroque‐style palaces in Kathmandu and other parts of the country. Following the 2015 Gorkha (Nepal) earthquake, detailed damage assessments of these buildings were undertaken by local and international teams ...

NUMERICAL PROCEDURE FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF SEISMIC VULNERABILITY OF MASONRY BUILDINGS
International Journal of Building Sustainability and Secure, 2014Most of existing masonry buildings are located in seismic areas and many of them were constructed without a seismic code. So it is important to assess the seismic capacity of these structures and, if necessary, making strengthening interventions. The huge number of buildings that have to be analyzed implies that it is not possible to assess all of ...
