Reinforced concrete (R/C) is one of the main building materials used worldwide, and an understanding of its structural performance under gravity and seismic loads, albeit complex, is crucial for the design of cost effective and safe buildings.Concrete Buildings in Seismic Regions comprehensively covers of all the analysis and design issues related
Bearing in mind that reinforced concrete is a key component in a majority of built environment structures, Concrete Buildings in Seismic Regions combines the scientific knowledge of earthquake engineering with a focus on the design of reinforced concrete buildings in seismic regions. This book addresses practical design issues, providing an integrated, comprehensible, and clear presentation that is suitable for design practice. It combines current approaches to seismic analysis and design, with a particular focus on reinforced concrete structures, and includes: an overview of structural dynamics analysis and design of new R/C buildings in seismic regions post-earthquake damage evaluation, pr...
Historic structures need to be restored in line with international guidance and charters developed by architects and archaeologists, but technical understanding of structural engineering and materials is crucial, particularly with respect to response to earthquake loading. This guide to structural assessment and restoration of masonry monuments and historical buildings outlines the techniques, materials and design procedures used. It begins with principles, theory and practice and then presents case studies. The assessment focusses on Building materials and construction techniques used in the past The mechanics of masonry The structural behaviour of masonry monuments and historical buildings In-situ investigation and laboratory tests for existing and restoration materials. The restoration elaborates on Techniques and materials available for structural restoration Structural analysis and design Deciding on the restoration scheme Emergency measures and protective measures.

Il manuale, in conformità con la normativa vigente, affronta in maniera completa tutti gli aspetti legati agli interventi di riparazione locale, miglioramento e adeguamento sismico delle strutture in cemento armato. Per quanto riguarda gli interventi locali, cioè quelli che interessano singoli elementi strutturale e che non riducono le condizioni di sicurezza preesistenti, vengono illustrate sia le tradizionali tecniche di consolidamento sia quelle moderne che fanno ricorso a materiali compositi (Frp) o ai nastri pretesi in acciaio ad alta resistenza (sistema Cam). Il testo inoltre descrive l’intervento di isolamento sismico alla base, impiegato per l’adeguamento sismico di edifici esistenti. Particolare attenzione è stata rivolta alle modalità di taglio e rinforzo dei pilastri e alle diverse problematiche esecutive per scale e ascensori, giunti sismici, impianti.
Questa nuova edizione del testo, privilegiando l’aspetto manualistico, vuole fornire uno strumento di valutazione immediata della gravità anche potenziale delle fessurazioni da sisma o da esercizio o entrambe riscontrabili negli edifici esistenti in c.a. Il testo è stato completato da nuovi argomenti come i danni agli edifici esistenti causati dalla liquefazione del terreno per effetto del sisma. Il manuale analizza con numerose illustrazioni tutti gli aspetti più significativi (regolarità e irregolarità in pianta e in elevazione, pilastri tozzi, carenze di armatura trasversale nei nodi e nei pilastri, fenomeni di degrado del calcestruzzo etc.) che devono essere considerati nella valu...
The Biennial of Architectural and Urban Restoration is composed by a series of cultural events like seminars, shows, art exhibitions, projections of documentaries, debates, visits, all open and also aimed to the public. The purpose of these activities is to bring out the architectural and urban local heritage and raise public awareness to its protection, creating an international forum of discussion between countries with similar problems, but various economic and socio-political situations.
