Optimal ductility enhancement of RC framed buildings considering different non-invasive retrofitting techniques
(Elsevier, 2021-09-01)
Existing RC framed buildings lack significant ductility, especially when they have been built with pre-code criteria. Improving their ductile capacity can help to prevent them from the brittle collapse mechanism and to ...

A deterministic seismic risk macrozonation of Seville
(Springer, 2021-11-10)
The seismicity of the southwestern Iberian Peninsula is moderate but large events with long return periods occur (≈ 200 years). This exceeds the life of various generations, making the population unacquainted with the ...

An index-based method for evaluating seismic retrofitting techniques. Application to a reinforced concrete primary school in Huelva
(Public Library of Science, 2019-04)
A project named PERSISTAH (Projetos de Escolas Resilientes aos SISmos no Território do Algarve e de Huelva, in Portuguese) is being developed. It aims to cooperatively assess and improve the seismic vulnerability of primary ...

Iberia Seismic Risk Revisited the Sacred & Profane Lessons on Loss Estimation
(2022-02-04)
The seismicity of the southwestern Iberian Peninsula is moderate but large events with long return periods can occur. This time span exceeds the life of several generations, creating a population unacquainted with seismic ...

Seismic vulnerability assessment of reinforced concrete buildings. Analysis of primary schools’ buildings of the southwestern Iberian Peninsula
(2021-11-05)
Among existing natural disasters, earthquakes have historically caused the most outstanding damage and human losses. The destructive impact of an earthquake depends on its magnitude, and the vulnerability and the resilience ...

The 1531 earthquake revisited: loss estimation in a historical perspective
(Springer, 2018)
In this research, the 1531 earthquake is revisited. This was one of the major earthquakes that affected Portugal and, specifically, Lisbon. According to coeval sources, between 1000 and 30,000 casualties were caused in ...

Soil-structure interaction in the seismic vulnerability analysis of RC buildings. Application to a case study building located in southwestern Spain
(2021)
Most seismic vulnerability analyses do not consider the Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI). However, it has been proved that SSI does not equally affect all types of structures and all types of soils. The analysis of the ...

Diseño y cálculo de mallas de alambre postesadas para la estabilización y refuerzo de taludes.
(Universidad de Sevilla, Departamento de Construcciones Arquitectónicas I, 2016)
Una solución barata para la protección de taludes es la utilización de mallas de alambre. Este trabajo muestra el diseño de una malla de alambre de alto límite elástico, postesada con anclajes, para la estabilización y ...

Assessment of specific structural and ground-improvement seismic retrofitting techniques for a case study RC building by means of a multi-criteria evaluation
(Elsevier, 2022)
Existing reinforced concrete (RC) structures might not comply with current seismic codes due to their aseismic design and construction date. By seismically retrofitting them, it is possible to improve their seismic ...

Influence of the constructive features of RC existing buildings in their ductility and seismic performance
(Springer, 2021)
This paper aims to analyse the ductility of existing buildings to evaluate its influence in their 14 seismic performance. This has been achieved through the retrospective analysis of an existing 15 building in accordance ...
