This paper presents a review on combining NDT techniques, such as rebound hammer and
ultrasonic pulse velocity, for assessing concrete compressive strength. These methods …

Concrete and glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bar samples from an 18-year old repair
project executed on an existing dry-dock were obtained by coring the dry dock in two …

Existing reinforced concrete (RC) bridges that were designed in the decades between 1950
and 1990 exhibit inadequate structural safety with reference to both traffic loads and hazard …

The nonlinear methods of analysis are the most indicated ones to carry out the vulnerability
assessment of existing Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings. Notwithstanding nonlinear …

This work is aimed at the assessment of the influence of the infill presence on the seismic
vulnerability evaluation. In particular, some results obtained from recurrent building …

The study of the seismic vulnerability of Reinforced Concrete (RC) buildings is a topic of
large interest for the scientific community and public institutions, who have the task of …

Abnormal climate events are occurring frequently around the world. In particular, cold waves
and heavy snow lead to damage and deterioration of facilities, which can cause loss of life …

The seismic assessment of an existing structure is a complex procedure. In the evaluation of
the structural capacity, difficulties arise in the definition of the lateral resisting members, in …

Current regulations require surveys on materials in order to identify one or more
representative values of the in-situ concrete strength. In this context, the SonReb method is …

The study concerns with the seismic analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) building, with
particular attention to the role played by floor system. The rigid-floor assumption is often …
