Building exposure and vulnerability models for seismic risk assessment have been the focus of a number European projects in recent years, but there has never concerted effort among research community to produce uniform model. The Commission’s Horizon 2020 SERA project work package that is dedicated objective, through development an model, associated set fragility/vulnerability models, database socioeconomic indicators order calculate probabilistic integrated at scale. This article provides...
The seismic events in Northern Italy, May 2012, have revealed the vulnerability of typical Italian precast industrial buildings. aim this paper is to present a fragility model for RC buildings, be used earthquake loss estimation and risk assessment by comparing two building typologies three different codes: D.M. 3-03-1975, 16-01-1996 current code that has been released 2008. Based on geometric characteristics design procedure applied, ten classes were identified. A Monte Carlo simulation was...
Forest road planning incorporates crucial strategies essential for sustainable timber extraction, minimizing environmental impacts and ensuring safe access to forest regions. This paper presents a literature review conducted examine publications related roads ultimately filter evaluate the information on incorporation of classification systems in roads. Using Scopus database gather publications, various data points were mapped, such as temporal distribution citation metrics, keyword inputs...
Summary The shape of design spectra, traditionally based on regions characterized by constant displacement, velocity, and acceleration, has been discussed from a conceptual point view Calvi (2018). In the same study, formulation for definition spectra relying four parameters was proposed. Predictive models are proposed herein to calculate these parameters, conditional magnitude distance. These were developed using large number recorded ground motions in Italy, they allow defining combined...

Integration of sustainability into industry has encouraged practices circular economy, reusing and recycling resources. This paper studies alternative solutions to materials traditionally used for unpaved roads, with a byproduct the pulp (not pre-treated), analyses its valorisation potential from geotechnical perspective. Two approaches were adopted: (1) assessment properties base (aggregate, local soil byproduct) mixtures (aggregate/local byproduct, 3% or 6%); (2) design layer (case study),...
Unpaved roads are essential as transportation infrastructure. These traditionally built utilizing local soils and aggregates. The application of different materials to improve the strength overall performance these road solutions has been investigated. This study focuses on assessment suitability reinforcing a fine soil using natural fibres from forest value chain—specifically, pine needles—for unpaved roads. resilient response both unreinforced reinforced was assessed with RL-CBR tests...
