In this paper we present the ground response analyses (GRA) of a site where an industrial
facility is planned. Due to its location on an active normal fault system known as a relevant …

The process of choosing ground motions typically relies on assembling a collection of
ground motions that match a desired spectrum. This selection process is guided by specific …

This study introduces a novel solution for seismic protection of structures based on resonant
metamaterials, named Periodic Foundation Piles, which can be integrated with deformable …

Robust site characterization and ground response analysis require a thorough
understanding of subsurface features, including geophysical properties and geometries of …

With a target of ease-of-use for input ground motion selection, in this paper we explore a
solution consisting of the Best Matching Scenario Earthquake (BMSE), defined by the …

The physical state of a structure can be modeled as a function of its state variables (eg,
material and geometric properties). Deterioration processes cause changes in the state …

Local seismic response analysis represents a fundamental tool for assessing the seismic
risk of urban areas and Cultural Heritage (CH) sites, nevertheless several open questions …

In recent years, the scientific community has been addressing the mitigation of post-
earthquake damage. Numerous seismic events have demonstrated vulnerabilities related to …
