An accurate assessment of the concrete compressive strength is a fundamental step towards
evaluation of existing reinforced concrete structures under gravity and seismic loads. It can …

Abstract Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a digital representation of the physical and
functional characteristics of a facility and is used to manage an entire construction process …

This paper proposes a framework for rapid seismic risk assessment of bridges using aerial
photogrammetric surveys conducted by Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). First, the data …

The reliable estimation of the seismic performance of structures requires quantifying the
aleatory and epistemic uncertainties of the system parameters. This is efficiently achieved for …

The current formulation of Eurocode 8 Part 3 and the Italian building code for the seismic
assessment of existing buildings accounts for epistemic (knowledge‐based) uncertainties by …

The publication of Part 3 of Eurocode 8 (EC8-3), dedicated to the seismic assessment of
existing buildings, took place a decade ago. However, its application in engineering practice …

The choice of modelling strategy and analysis options has a significant influence on the
results of the seismic assessment of existing buildings and therefore it is very important to …

This paper describes the multivariate statistical model of the structure-related modelling
uncertainty, developed with reference to reinforced concrete, masonry, steel, and seismically …

This work presents a probabilistic method to assess the seismic vulnerability of historical
masonry structures, such as churches or cathedrals, including uncertainty analysis of the …

Second‐generation Eurocode 8 introduces displacement‐based design alongside the
traditional force‐based one with reduced equivalent forces; it provides resistance models …
