Despite the many advantages of tube systems with braces, known as trussed tubes, no specific seismic design criteria exist in the current regulations to design them, and practitioners utilize common methods used for common building structures to deal...
Pushover analysis is the main methodology adopted in practice-oriented applications for investigating the non-linear response of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings; it is applicable for both new and existing buildings. It is well-known that several l...
Masonry arch bridges are important structures of road and rail networks around the world. Over several decades of service life, they suffer deterioration and damage. In order to preserve their functioning, it is necessary to carry out a seismic vulne...
The Benedictine Monastery of São Miguel de Refojos, located in Cabeceiras de Basto (Portugal), is a monumental complex and a distinctive example of the 18th century Portuguese Baroque architecture. This study addresses the state of conservatio...
The Castle of Lanjarón is a 16th century stronghold located in Andalucía, Spain. After losing its military function, the castle was abandoned, leading to significant decay. Designated a national heritage site in 1985, recent efforts hav...
Nonlinear soil–pile–structure interaction (SPSI) phenomena are known to play a vital role in the response of bottom-fixed marine structures. For such structures, these phenomena are commonly considered by the imposition of p-y, τ-z, a...
The seismic assessment of historical masonry aggregates is particularly challenging as their present configuration typically reflects a complex construction history involving geometrical irregularities, heterogeneous structural systems, and mechanica...
In order to further study the dynamic response and damage status of the subway station structure and promote the development of the TOD (transit-oriented development) mode structure system, this paper proposes a calibration method for the seismic per...
Historical masonry towers shaped by successive construction phases present major challenges for numerical assessment because of uncertainties in geometry, materials, component interaction and boundary conditions. This study develops the first detaile...
Strong aftershocks have the potential to cause accumulated damage in structures, a feature which has been reported in post-earthquake reconnaissance studies, particularly for eccentric or irregular structures. This study aims to investigate the seism...
