Very large tsunamis are associated with low probabilities of occurrence. In many parts the world, these events have usually occurred in a distant time past. As result, there is risk perception and lack collective memories, making tsunami communication both challenging complex. Furthermore, immense challenges lie ahead as population exposure continue to increase coastal areas. Through last decades, caught populations off-guard, providing evidence preparedness. Recent tsunamis, such Indian...
Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings, largely found in Euroasian regions, are particularly vulnerable to in-plane shear failures during seismic events due the poor capacity of walls. In case historical use strengthening solutions with polymeric and polymer-modified matrices composites is not recommended since breathability could be reduced, leading a fast undesired degradation. this paper, an innovative fiber-reinforced cementitious mortar (i.e., FRCM) system was used improve old-type solid...
Reinforced concrete (RC) columns typical of existing structures often exhibit premature failures during seismic events (i.e., longitudinal bars buckling and shear interaction mechanisms) due to the poor quality absence proper details in potential plastic hinge region. The Fiber Polymers (FRP) externally bonded reinforcement is known be a valid technique improve capacity or ductility RC columns. However, few experimental tests have proven its effectiveness case affected by mechanisms. In this...
Glazed curtain walls are façade systems frequently chosen in modern architecture for mid and high-rise buildings. From recent earthquakes surveys it is observed the large occurrence of non-structural components failure, such as storefronts walls, which causes sensitive economic losses represents an hazard occupants pedestrians safety. In present study, behavior wall stick under seismic actions has been investigated through experimental in-plane racking tests conducted at laboratory...
Abstract Inorganic composites for enhancing the in-plane shear capacity of masonry walls with irregular texture were investigated on twenty-one panels under diagonal compression tests. Three specimens used as control and twelve strengthened two Fibre Reinforced Mortars (FRM-A FRM-B), characterized by a different content fibres embedded in lime-based matrix. The remaining six Fabric Cementitious (FRCM), consisting GFRP grid fibre reinforced matrix (the same FRM-A). influence single-side...
In long-term structural health monitoring (SHM), one of the main challenges is to correlate an observed variation vibration period with a damage level for structure. The aim this paper propose methodology quantify seismic in building through SHM data. For purpose, existing reinforced concrete has been selected as case-study and non-linear dynamics analyses have carried out estimate local global levels. Ranges are derived each level, compared those previously assessed by authors single columns.
A timely post-earthquake damage evaluation in existing bridges is fundamental for an efficient emergency management. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) systems can allow a fast assessment; however, lack of methods the SHM data interpretation recognised. The present paper proposes approach probabilistic seismic detection and quantification ductile bridge piers from vibration-based by comparing time variations modal properties. To this aim, selected properties are natural frequencies...
Although recent efforts have been made to understand the behavior of RC members subjected cyclic biaxial bending, experimental data available in literature are still limited for making conclusions about influence actions on inelastic response columns. To analyze effects bending seismic existing columns with design characteristics nonconforming modern codes, results an program under constant axial load and uniaxial/biaxial presented this paper. The set consists ten tests (seven new three...
Unreinforced masonry buildings (URM) often suffer of local out-of-plane failure mechanisms the walls during a seismic excitation. This study investigates effectiveness relatively novel class inorganic composite materials, namely Fibre Reinforced Mortars (FRM), for strengthening walls. Three experimental tests by using setup to perform on panels, part an enlarged ongoing testing campaign, are presented herein. The specimens solid clay brick subjected compressive axial load and horizontal...
