Sustainable retrofitting of existing buildings is a prerequisite for achieving climatic and
energy objectives in the EU. Thus, practical tools supporting the evaluation and decision …

The sustainable renovation of existing buildings is commonly intended as the upgrade of
constructions by implementing green technologies and eco-friendly materials. More recently …

To alleviate the consequential influences of earthquakes, many seismic performance
evaluation methods have been developed over the past century. Fragility assessment is an …

This paper presents a framework to develop generalizable surrogate models to predict
seismic vulnerability and environmental impacts of a class of buildings at a particular …

Predicting the nonlinear time-history responses of civil engineering structures under seismic
loading remains an essential task in earthquake engineering. This paper explores the …

Segmental joints act as a weak link in the tunnel lining both in terms of structural responses
(due to the lower stiffness and strength compared to the main segments) and the …

Extensive damage to school buildings has been observed during past earthquakes in Italy
and there is a need to better understand their potential vulnerability. As part of a national …

Urban highway bridges are crucial for regional economic development and population
mobility, but they are vulnerable to seismic hazards. Accurately predicting the seismic …

A numerical method based on nonlinear incremental dynamic analysis is proposed in this
paper to develop seismic fragility curves for rectangular subway station buried in layered soil …

The building sector significantly impacts on the environment during every stage of the
building life cycle. The necessary transition toward a carbon-neutral society is driving a …
