Seismic vulnerability assessment method for vernacular architecture considering uncertainty
(International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessBuilt vernacular heritage embraces buildings that are not designed by specialists, but are part of a process that involves many people over many generations and relies on empirical knowledge. Its value as a key-element for ... -
Kinematic approach for seismic vulnerability assessment of masonry churches
(International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessThe application of reliable predictive methods for the seismic vulnerability assessment of historical buildings represents a challenging issue in the process of risk mitigation at regional/national scale, in order to ... -
Seismic behaviour of diaphragm arches: case studies from Catalan Gothic churches
(International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessThe Gothic style spread, starting from the 12th century, from the Ile-de-France to England and other countries of the Mediterranean area, such as Spain and Italy, according to different configurations and construction ... -
Investigation on the seismic response of a large monumental complex
(International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessHistorical masonry structures are characterised by a high level of seismic vulnerability, as demonstrated by recent and past seismic events. Monumental buildings, in particular, represent a very challenging topic. Their ... -
The ISCARSAH guidelines on the analysis, conservation and structural restoration of architectural heritage
(International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2021)
Conference report
Open AccessThe paper introduces the main concepts and criteria presented in the Guidelines on the Analysis, Conservation and Structural Restoration elaborated by the ICOMOS/ISCARSAH committee. The guidelines have been developed with ... -
Three-dimensional finite element analysis of the cyclic response of RC columns
(International Federation for Structural Concrete (fib), 2019)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper presents three-dimensional finite element models for the accurate response simulation of RC columns subjected to severe cyclic loading. The models integrate advanced constitutive models for concrete, steel ... -
Modeling bar slip and pullout capacity of straight anchorages
(International Federation for Structural Concrete (fib), 2019)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper presents an analytical method to predict the bar slip and pullout capacity of straight bars embedded in well-confined concrete, such as column bars extended into a footing or cap beam. Closed-form solutions of ... -
Seismic response analysis of a retrofitted concrete building in Mexico City
(International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineers (IABSE), 2019)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper presents results of an ongoing study on the seismic performance of a retrofitted concrete building located in the soft soil area of Mexico City. The original structure consisted of reinforced concrete frames in ... -
Performance of retrofitted concrete buildings during the September 19, 2017 earthquake in Mexico City
(International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineers (IABSE), 2019)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyThe 1985 Mexico City earthquake resulted in extensive damage and collapse of concrete construction. In the months and years following this earthquake, there was an unparalleled effort to repair and retrofit concrete ... -
