Today ReStructure 2.0 is starting officially! Stay tuned!

Experts in MSCA meets potential applicants at the EU Corner.

Today is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, read what 4 #MSCA fellows said about what's like being a female researcher in 2022. https://europa.eu/!fjdVyC

      New soil-structure interaction frontiers in seismic areas Subscription form  Abstract: Standard seismic design of retaining structures in Europe is based on a century-old theory, that does not account for the actual physical behavior of soil-structure systems. This theory unrealistically assumes that the seismic earth pressure increment is proportional to surface acceleration. Methods […]

      Influence of Soil-Structure Interaction on Ground Failure Subscription form  To connect to the webinar click here Abstract: Ground failure due to liquefaction and/or cyclic softening is generally performed for free-field conditions due to vertically propagating shear waves. Shear stresses on horizontal and vertical planes are therefore utilized to characterize demands. However, stress […]

      Seismic Earth Pressures on Retaining Walls based on SSI Principles Subscription form  Abstract: During earthquake ground shaking, earth pressures on retaining structures can cyclically increase and decrease as a result of inertial forces applied to the walls and kinematic interactions between stiff wall elements and surrounding soil. The current state of practice […]

      Urban-scale seismic risk assessment: (how) does it change if we include SSI and site amplification effects? Subscription form  Abstract: Seismic risk assessment is still performed at an urban scale assuming all structures and the man-made environment are fixed on the soil. Intuitively, one could argue that this is the case if only […]

      The influence of soil-foundation-structure interaction on the seismic performance of masonry buildings Subscription form  Abstract: Most of the damage and of the casualties induced even by the most recent strong-motion earthquakes which stroke Central and Southern Italy can be attributed to the extreme seismic vulnerability of the ordinary residential buildings. Both in […]
