Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Risk management has evolved to analyze risks in a systemic way, integrating local knowledge with the abstract concept of resilience, which is now an imperative for vulnerable and exposed communities. However, existing decision‐support tools are mainly focused on technical‐functional aspects and, although based on rigorous and scientific ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract The use of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) in precast tunnel segments is among the most established and representative applications of this material. Over the past two decades, numerous tunnel linings were constructed with partial or total substitution of conventional steel reinforcement by fibers, this yielding to quantifiable benefits in ...

Assessment and Reduction of the Seismic Vulnerability of a Stone Masonry Vault
Periodica Polytechnica Civil Engineering, 2015 A numerical approach is presented to assess the seismic vulnerability of barrel masonry vaults and evaluate the eectiveness of a traditional retrofitting intervention consisting in the reinforcement of the extrados. A linear elastic no–tension model is adopted to cope with the negligible strength in tension of ancient brick and stone masonry and ...
