In code-based seismic design and assessment it is often allowed the use of real records as
an input for nonlinear dynamic analysis. On the other hand, international seismic guidelines …

This paper describes the probabilistic assessment of seismic hazard (PSHA) of Italy in view
of the building codes from 2003 to 2009. A code was issued in 2003 as a Prime Minister …

This paper details the findings of an experimental program that assessed the seismic
performances of a novel low‐cost base isolation device. The proposed bearings are referred …

The simple study discussed in this paper compared different procedures to obtain sets of
spectral matching accelerograms for nonlinear dynamic analysis of structures in terms of …

To define reference structural actions, engineers practicing earthquake resistant design are
required by codes to account for ground motion likely to threaten the site of interest and also …

Vector-valued ground-motion intensity measures (IMs) have been the focus of a significant
deal of research recently. Proposed measures are mainly functions of spectral ordinates …

In countries with an advanced seismic technical culture, where best-practice hazard studies
(which are therefore necessarily probabilistic) are available, the occurrence of a damaging …

The growing installation of industrial facilities for subsurface exploration worldwide requires
continuous refinements in understanding both the mechanisms by which seismicity is …

This paper introduces REXELite, an internet version of REXEL, a software for automatic
selection of ground motion suites for nonlinear dynamic analysis of structures. REXELite …

A refined seismic risk assessment at urban level is fundamental to identify the most correct
risk mitigation policies, both in short and long terms. To date, seismic risk assessment …
