The present study illustrates the main results of an extensive campaign numerical simulations aimed at quantifying seismic reliability reinforced concrete (RC) bare and masonry-infilled frames compliant with current Italian Building Code. For this purpose, a set different residential-use archetype structures are considered, prototype design-assessment tool is created to quantify their performance respect relevant limit states, deriving fragility curves via execution several non-linear...
Assessment of historical buildings is now a matter fundamental importance in civil engineering and researchers have been long working to find the best investigation strategies trying limit their invasiveness as much possible. Among other techniques, modal characterization (or dynamic identification) has gaining popularity due its non-destructiveness for ability capture behavior real structure. Combined with more traditional non-destructive-tests (NDTs) or semi-destructive-tests (SDTs),...
<p>This work deals with the seismic reliability analysis of an existing double-span open spandrel RC arch bridge, aiming to assess its structural safety. In general, is a powerful tool able combine hazard and fragility for computing probability failure specific damage state interest. The present wants apply this consolidated procedure case study bridge located in Vicenza (IT), adopting as suitable engineering demand parameter curvature ductiliy columns between arches beams grillage.</p>
Seismic reliability analysis (SRA) is a powerful tool able to combine seismic hazard and structural fragility for computing the probability of failure specific damage state interest. In this work, SRA has been applied case study an open spandrel RC arch bridge located in North-eastern Italy, adopting as suitable engineering demand parameters both ductile fragile mechanism columns between arches beams grillage. Collapse fragilities are computed each element and, finally, system...
Nowadays, many Codes develop a force-based design approach, which accounts for the inelastic capacity of structures by means reduction coefficient, i.e. behaviour factor.At same time, in earthquake engineering there is an ever-increasing interest on evaluation structural safety, through so-called reliability analysis.Consequently, some studies analysed failure probability code-conforming buildings and they pointed out that actual code's provisions lead to non-uniform safety level.For this...
