The EU's Strategy for Sustainability: A Landmark Turn With the European Green Deal?
European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.ABSTRACT While the European Green Deal (EGD) has been widely recognized as a milestone in the EU's sustainability strategy, scholars disagree on the nature of the policy change it represents. Critics highlight its limited social and environmental ambitions, despite its portrayal as a “man on the moon” moment.

Seismic vulnerability of existing buildings: non-invasive approach for dynamic behaviour assessment
GEOmedia, 2018 This paper presents a brief overview of the concept of seismic risk, with particular regard to existing civil buildings. Given that the seismic risk can be expressed as a combination involving seismic hazard and seismic vulnerability, these aspects are ...

Application of association rules to determine building typological classes for seismic damage predictions at regional scale. The case study of Basel [PDF]
, 2019 Assessing seismic vulnerability at large scales requires accurate attribution of individual buildings to more general typological classes that are representative of the seismic behavior of the buildings sharing same attributes. One-by-one evaluation of

Seismic vulnerability assessment of motorway bridges
, 2010 The paper presents a general Seismic Vulnerability Benchmark System (SVBS) for bridges, developed within the framework of the research project »Seismic vulnerability assessment of bridges in Germany« funded by the German Federal Highway Research Institute. For each bridge type, a three-level vulnerability assessment procedure is provided and the system

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article presents a capacity‐based assessment procedure for beam–column (b–c) joints of reinforced concrete frames with floor slabs and transverse beams. The procedure extends a previously proposed assessment methodology for determining the hierarchy of strengths and the sequence of events in symmetrically reinforced planar b–c joints.
