The main vulnerability models available in the literature aim to develop damage fragility
curves to estimate the damage level suffered by a building after a seismic event. However …

The application of pultruded fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in civil engineering
is increasing as a high-performance structural element or reinforcing material for …

The recent earthquakes occurred in the last years in Italy registered a great number of
casualties and large economic losses. In this perspective, the effective seismic risk …

This paper describes the development of finite-element (FE) and analytical models for
investigating the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) columns strengthened with UHPFRC …

Seismic risk assessment has become a crucial issue for optimal management of economic
resources allocated to mitigation. For this purpose, in the last decades, several research …

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 …

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 …

Probabilistic seismic risk is affected by several sources of uncertainty. Investigating their
influence on loss analysis results is essential to obtain reliable quantitative estimations of …

Shear strength prediction in FRP-bonded reinforced concrete beams is crucial for ensuring
structural integrity and safety. In this extensive investigation, advanced machine learning …

Several international guides offer recommendations for the calculation and design of
reinforcements with fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites. To strengthen axially-loaded …
