Matteoni, M.M. (author), Ciurlanti, Jonathan (author), Bianchi, S. (author), Pampanin, Stefano (author)Different low-damage technologies have recently been developed to meet society's growing expectations for earthquake-proof buildings. Among others, the PRESSS (PREcast Seismic Structural System) technology has proved its capability to withstand earthquakes with minimal damage, effectively mitigating socio-economic losses. However, applying...conference paper 2023

D’Amore, Simone (author), Bianchi, S. (author), Ciurlanti, Jonathan (author), Pampanin, Stefano (author)In the last decades, recent earthquakes have further highlighted the high vulnerability of non-structural components. Post-earthquake damage due to building envelope, equipment and building contents can lead to substantial economic losses in terms of repair costs and daily activity interruption (downtime). Moreover, non-structural damage can...journal article 2023

Ciurlanti, J. (author), Bianchi, S. (author), Pampanin, Stefano (author)The severe socio-economic impact of recent earthquakes has represented a tough reality check, further confirming the mismatch between society expectations and reality of seismic performance of modern buildings. Life-safety code-compliant design criteria are not enough when dealing with new structures. To raise the bar in terms of structural...journal article 2023

Pedone, Livio (author), Bianchi, S. (author), Giovinazzi, Sonia (author), Pampanin, Stefano (author)When dealing with seismic risk assessment at a large scale, the collection of relevant building data is still deemed a challenging task, often leading to limited building knowledge and, consequently, high uncertainties. Therefore, innovative yet standardized frameworks and adaptive tools are needed to support the seismic risk assessment of...journal article 2022

Bianchi, S. (author), Ciurlanti, J. (author), Overend, M. (author), Pampanin, Stefano (author)Structural safety and environmental sustainability are major factors in investment decisions for building systems, but are rarely considered simultaneously. Recent research efforts have redressed this by developing assessment methodologies and technical solutions for integrated energy efficiency and seismic performance. These studies are...journal article 2022

Fusco, Daniela (author), Messali, F. (author), Rots, J.G. (author), Addessi, Daniela (author), Pampanin, Stefano (author)Terraced houses built in the Netherland after 1980 are often characterized by the use of large units connected at corners by continuous thin layer mortar joints. Unlike the running bond pattern, usually modelled as a rigid connection, the vertical continuous connection may fail in shear and influence the global seismic capacity of the entire...journal article 2022

Fusco, Daniela (author), Messali, F. (author), Rots, J.G. (author), Addessi, Daniela (author), Pampanin, Stefano (author)In recent years, the seismic risk in the north of the Netherlands has increased due to gas extraction. Since 2014, the Delft University of Technology started a research program to assess the seismic response of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings. The Dutch URM buildings are characterized by slender piers and transverse walls. In common...conference paper 2021
