Comparative study of alternative equivalent frame approaches for the seismic assessment of masonry buildings in OpenSees
(Elsevier, 2023-05-01)
The equivalent frame (EF) idealisation of masonry structures is widely used in engineering structures. Despite its simplifications, reliable numerical models can be produced to calculate the seismic behaviour of unreinforced ...

Data Field-Based K-Means Clustering for Spatio-Temporal Seismicity Analysis and Hazard Assessment
(MDPI, 2018)
Microseismic sensing taking advantage of sensors can remotely monitor seismic activities and evaluate seismic hazard. Compared with experts’ seismic event clusters, clustering algorithms are more objective, and they can ...

Seismic capacity and vulnerability assessment considering ageing effects. Case study: 2 Three local Portuguese RC buildings
(Springer, 2020)
A high percentage of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings in Portugal were designed and built before the introduction of modern seismic codes. This research aims to assess the seismic capacity and vulnerability of RC ...

Analysis of the Historical Settlements of the Giralda
(Francis & Taylor, 2022)
The preservation of the cultural heritage is a current challenge for modern societies. Thus, it is important to analyse the structural behaviour of historical buildings in order to detect and prevent future damage. This ...

Seismic performance comparison between structure-improvement techniques and ground-improvement techniques: Application to a reinforced concrete school building
(WIT Press, 2019)
The seismic retrofitting of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings has been widely analysed. Most of the solutions proposed are focused on the building’s structure improvement. However, the effects of ground-improvement ...
