Enhancing the Seismic Resilience of Masonry‐Infilled RC Structures Using Rubber Joints: Full‐Scale 3D Shaking Table Tests

Enrico Tubaldi, Marko Marinković, Simone Galano, Alessandro Lotti et autres

ABSTRACT Masonry infills in reinforced concrete (RC) frames are highly vulnerable to seismic damage, often sustaining severe cracking even under moderate ground motion, which in turn leads to considerable economic losses and safety risks. To address this issue, this study experimentally evaluates …

Improved Eurocode‐based design of tall buildings with braced core and outrigger systems

Prasanna Lankasara, Christoforos Dimopoulos, Fabio Freddi, Theodore Karavasilis

Abstract Previous research has shown deficiencies in the Eurocode provisions for producing reliable designs of tall steel buildings with mega‐braced core and outrigger systems, due to a significant underestimation of Interstorey Drift Ratios (ISDR) and seismic demands in primary members. To address …

Repairable Steel Moment‐Resisting Frames for enhanced Seismic Resilience: conceptual and numerical investigation

Elena Elettore, Massimo Latour, Fabio Freddi, Antonella Bianca Francavilla et autres

Abstract In recent years, the increasing demand for seismic‐resilient structures has progressively redefined the seismic design performance objectives. Structural design is no longer limited to ensuring life safety, but is increasingly oriented toward enabling the rapid restoration of both structural integrity and …

Study of demountable Post‐Tensioned floor system: a step towards circular construction

Ankhiparna Guha, Sabatino Di Benedetto, Massimo Latour, Gianvittorio Rizzano et autres

Abstract The construction industry is a significant contributor to global solid waste generation, largely due to conventional building practices that hinder cost‐effective material recovery and reuse. On the contrary, demountable floor systems have gained attention as a sustainable alternative, offering enhanced building …

Finite Element evaluation of demountable connectors for steel concrete composite floors

Ankhiparna Guha, Facundo Idiart, Sabatino Di Benedetto, Massimo Latour et autres

Abstract The construction industry generates a substantial share of global solid waste, driven by conventional building practices that hinder material recovery and reuse. While concrete remains the dominant construction material and concrete–steel composite members serve as essential load‐bearing elements, limited efforts have …

The 2023 Mw 6.8 Al Haouz, Morocco earthquake: A multi-layer reconnaissance framework for the remote sensing and field assessment of landslides, building and heritage damage, and road access disruption in the High Atlas region

Viviana Iris Novelli, Fabio Freddi, Michael Whitworth, Martin Stokes et autres

On 8 September 2023, a M w 6.8 earthquake struck Morocco’s High Atlas region, causing nearly 3,000 fatalities and widespread damage across rural, mountainous settlements dominated by traditional and non-engineered construction, and affecting cultural heritage assets. The event triggered landslides that further …

Energy‐Based Characterisation of Earthquake Damage in Masonry Infills Through Combined In‐Plane and Out‐of‐Plane Experimental Tests

Roberto Gentile, Giulia Angelucci, Jing‐Ren Wu, Marilisa Di Benedetto et autres

ABSTRACT The seismic capacity of structural systems/members is usually defined in terms of deformation thresholds. Although this is effective in many circumstances, disregarding cumulative quantities such as hysteretic energy may be ineffective when low‐cycle fatigue is relevant (e.g., long‐duration ground motions, very …

Lifetime Economic and Environmental Impacts of BRB Retrofitting in Seismically Deficient RC Buildings

Rifan Chelapramkandy, Jayadipta Ghosh, Fabio Freddi

Abstract Reinforced concrete (RC) frames with low ductility remain a significant concern, particularly in regions prone to moderate to high seismic activity. Their global popularity calls for robust seismic retrofitting strategies to mitigate potential economic, social, and environmental impacts. Among these strategies, …

Design and Shake-Table Testing of a Full-Scale, Six-Story Mass Timber Building with Posttensioned Rocking Walls and Buckling-Restrained Boundary Elements

Morgan McBain, Ludovica Pieroni, Gustavo A. Araújo R., Steven Kontra et autres

Abstract Although dynamic contributions from higher modes are known to influence the force demands in mass timber rocking walls, higher-mode force and acceleration demands have not been formally addressed in a design procedure incorporating limit states at multiple intensity levels. This study …
