According to the seismic damage due to past events, buildings located on slopes can present a worse seismic performance. To explore this, this study established a finite element model based on a 6-story RC frame structure and soil models based on a pract...

Several factors influence the behaviour of masonry infilled frames, which have been the subject of previous research with moderate success. The new generation of European design standards imposes the need to prevent the brittle collapse of infills and ma...

Shear wall structures are widely used in civil engineering, and their seismic design has been the focus of much attention. Explosions can result from the rupture and ignition of gas pipelines under seismic action, and there are currently no methods to ap...

Domes, vaults and arches are structural components of high vulnerability, due to the horizontal component of the thrust they impose to the supporting vertical elements (piers or walls), accentuated by the asymmetry of loading due to seismic actions. In o...

The structural analysis of historic masonry churches subject to earthquakes is commonly based on two distinct approaches: that of the global response to seismic actions and that of the local analysis of a priori pre-determined collapse mechanisms. This i...
