We would like to share a nice success story with you: Farah Dameh and S. J. Pantazopoulou, our customers from Lassonde School of Engineering, York University, Toronto, Canada have released their publication using #ATENAsoftware for their analyses in the Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics. The title is: Lateral load resistance of reinforced concrete columns with brittle details. In this study the parametric dependency of deformation capacity and shear strength of columns, and degradation thereof with increasing ductility demand is studied using a benchmark study where the role of several important design parameters known to influence these response indices are varied in a systematic way. doi.org/10.1002/eqe.3980 #ATENA2024: https://lnkd.in/eA3wwBZT

It was a great pleasure to be one of the author of three works presented at the 18th World Conference on Earthquake Engineering (WCEE2024), which was held in Milan last week: an extraordinary event, which attracted more than 4000 participants from all over the world. In the following a few more details about the topics: - “IMPACT OF FLOOR DIAPHRAGM MODELLING ASSUMPTIONS IN THE SEISMIC ASSESSMENT OF RC BUILDINGS USING FIBRE BEAM ELEMENTS”, authored by me, Marta Guidotti and Rui Pinho - “SEISMIC ASSESSMENT OF RC BUILDINGS USING LINEAR ANALYSIS METHODS – AN OVERLY CONSERVATIVE PRACTICE”, authored by me, Marta Guidotti, Rui Pinho and Roberto Nascimbene - “MONITORING AND CLASSIFICATION OF NON-STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS IN AN EXISTING BUILDING”, authored by Maria Rota, Martino Zito, me, Paolo Dubini and Roberto Nascimbene

On September 12-13, 2024, at the Athens War Museum, Riccardo Previtali, Dam Safety Assessment Product Leader at ISMES, presented his research on the seismic behavior of earth dams. His paper, "Seismic Behavior of Earth Dams: World Relevant Cases," drew considerable attention from experts. In partnership with the ITCOLD YP working group, Previtali’s study examines dam responses to severe earthquakes, expanding the database from 86 to 129 cases, including the 2023 Turkey earthquake. This research, aligned with the Italian Dam Code, offers vital insights for enhancing dam safety and earthquake resilience. ISMES, a leader in structural monitoring and safety assessments, plays a key role in advancing knowledge in this essential area of civil engineering. #DamSafety #SeismicBehavior #EarthDams #Research #Engineering #Innovation #ITCOLD

"Simulation of Tectonic Plates’ Movements and Fault Activity During Earthquakes" This simulation has the capability to model the movements of Earth's tectonic plates and depict the resulting earthquake activity. By considering plate motions, it provides insights into seismic events with precision. #civilengineering #infrastructure #construction #urbandevelopment #structuralengineering #engineeringlife #builtenvironment #concrete #constructionmanagement #architecturaldesign #greenbuilding #transportationengineering #waterresources #GeotechnicalEngineering #Sustainability #ProjectManagement #CivilWorks #BridgeEngineering #RoadConstruction #EnvironmentalEngineering #StructuralEngineering #CivilEngineering #EngineeringLife #Construction #Architecture #BuildingDesign #SteelStructures #ConcreteDesign #StructuralAnalysis #ConstructionEngineering #BridgeEngineering #SeismicDesign #BuildingMaterials #StructuralIntegrity #EngineeringDesign #StructuralSafety #BuildingConstruction #Infrastructure #ArchitecturalEngineering #FoundationDesign #TectonicPlates #EarthquakeSimulation #GeologicalModeling #SeismicActivity #PlateTectonics #FaultDynamics #EarthScience #Geophysics #NaturalDisasters #DisasterPreparedness #StructuralEngineering #EarthquakeEngineering #GeotechnicalEngineering #CivilEngineering #SeismicEngineering #GeologicalHazards #EngineeringSimulation #EarthquakeRisk #InfrastructureSafety #DisasterMitigation

https://lnkd.in/dmGyrdjC Cintoo Structural Vibration Solutions A/S Earthquake Engineering Roma ARTeMIS is a powerful tool to perform SHM Structural Health Monitoring of existing structures. My experience with Manuel Pastor suggests that many time, FEM analyisis for coupled dynamic problems is too much complex for small infrastructures. My experience with Messina Bridge design suggests that the cost of new infrastructure requires expert with great experience like Klaus H. Ostenfeld Maintenance is an easiest practice, and the number of existing bridges, real estate, schools, suggest that is an important issue to cut public debt

I am thrilled to announce that our latest research paper, "Damage Assessment for Balloon-Type CLT Shear Wall Systems Subjected to M9 Earthquake Scenario," has just been published! This work delves into the resilience and performance of Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) structures under seismic events, particularly focusing on the M9 earthquake scenario. Read the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/gnEY2hWf This research wouldn’t have been possible without the invaluable guidance of Dr. Cristiano Loss, who supervised the project, and Dr. Carlos Ventura, who also supervised the work and presented our findings at the World Conference on Earthquake Engineering (WCEE) 2024. I’m incredibly grateful for their mentorship and expertise. I’m excited to contribute to the discussions on enhancing building resilience in earthquake-prone regions and look forward to sharing more insights from the conference! #EarthquakeEngineering #CLT #Resilience #WCEE2024 #Research #Sustainability

The importance of this research lies in its exploration of earthquake directionality and its significant influence on the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures, an area often overlooked in conventional seismic design. Most seismic performance designs for RC frames fail to account for the multi-directional nature of ground motion, which can lead to inaccurate assessments of structural vulnerability. This research is crucial because it emphasizes the need to integrate earthquake directionality into seismic risk assessments and structural designs. The findings suggest that the angle of incidence plays a major role in determining the severity of structural responses, with deterioration in behavior observed as the angle increases. In this context, I am delighted to present my recently published research " 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢‑𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐂 𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: 𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚‑𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐯𝐮𝐥𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬" in the prestigious journal, Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering with (JIF:3.80, Q1): https://lnkd.in/d6e2qxzn I extend sincere appreciation and express gratitude to the reviewers, editorial team for their valuable insights that have contributed to enhancing the paper's quality. #earthquake #seismicdesign #seismichazard #vulnerabiltiy #reinforcedconcrete #sustainabledevelopmentgoals #damageprevention #fragility #collapsemarginration
