Raising the bar in seismic design

Cost–benefit analysis of alternative design methodologies and earthquake-resistant technologies

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 dea ...

This article presents a numerical study on the influence of the anchorage shear hysteresis on the seismic response of nonstructural components (NSC) connected to multi-storey reinforced concrete (RC) buildings, and of the anchorage itself. To cover a variety of different types ...

High-rise buildings have large impact on the community and a significant economic value, considering the resources involved from the design through construction and use. Due to the increasing demand for renewable construction materials, the use of mixed timber-concrete solutio ...

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 integrate ...
