Einfluss des Einsatzes von Deckenscheiben aus Stahlbeton bei Mauerwerksgebäuden mit Holzbalkendecken bezüglich Erdbebensicherheit

Pierino Lestuzzi, Clotaire Michel, Lorenzo Diana

Ein Grossteil der Todesopfer und Gebäudeschäden bei stärkeren Erdbebenereignissen weltweit ist aufden Einsturz von Mauerwerksgebäuden zurückzuführen. Dieser ist oft Folge eines Versagens der (tragenden und sekundären) Mauerwerkswände quer zu ihrer Ebene. B ...

Seismic displacement demand prediction in non-linear domain: Optimization of the N2 method

Pierino Lestuzzi, Lorenzo Diana

In Europe, computation of displacement demand for seismic assessment of existing buildings is essentially based on a simplified formulation of the N2 method as prescribed by Eurocode 8 (EC8). However, a lack of accuracy of the N2 method in certain conditio ...

Accuracy Assessment of Nonlinear Seismic Displacement Demand Predicted by Simplified Methods for the Plateau Range of Design Response Spectra

Pierino Lestuzzi, Lorenzo Diana

The non-linear seismic displacement demand prediction for low-period structures, i.e. with an initial fundamental period situated in the plateau of design response spectra is studied. In Eurocode 8, the computation of seismic displacement demands is essent ...

Application of Association Rules to Determine Building Typological Classes for Seismic Damage Predictions at Regional Scale: The Case Study of Basel

Pierino Lestuzzi, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland, Lorenzo Diana

Assessing seismic vulnerability at large scales requires accurate attribution of individual buildings to more general typological classes that are representative of the seismic behavior of the buildings sharing same attributes. One-by-one evaluation of all ...

Seismic displacement-demand and urban damage distribution: the impact of different methods on vulnerability assessment

Pierino Lestuzzi, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland, Stefano Podesta, Lorenzo Diana

This paper addresses seismic vulnerability assessment at urban scale. Particularly, it focuses on the differences in damage distribution obtained from the application of several simplified methods for displacement demand determination. The results obtained ...

Structural Resilience through Model-Based Data Interpretation: From Building to City-Scale Post-Seismic Assessment

Ian Smith, Pierino Lestuzzi, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland, Lorenzo Diana

Earthquake-design approaches in regions with low to medium seismic hazard often focus on the protection of inhabitants. Therefore, some structural damage is accepted. In addition, large parts of the building stock have usually been built without considerin ...

Seismic vulnerability assessment at urban scale: state of the art and perspectives

Lorenzo Diana

Italian territory is particularly sensitive to seismic actions. The Amatrice earthquake on August 24th 2016 confirmed this aspect. Such an event, nothing but extraordinary, has been able to cause huge and tragic damages. The direct knowledge of building fe ...

Critical lssues on lntegrated Solutions for Seismic and Energy Retrofitting of High-rise Building in Reinforced Concrete Walls and Panels: The M4 in Tor Bella Monaca - Rome

Lorenzo Diana

In Italy, after the destructions of World War II, due the particular development of economy and the political decision in the field of reconstruction, a government option for building construction industrialization comes up only at the beginning of ‘60s. A ...

Seismic vulnerability assessment of “Sion cathedral” (Switzerland): an integrated approach to detect and evaluate local collapse mechanisms in heritage buildings

Pierino Lestuzzi, Yves Sylvain Gilles Reuland, Lorenzo Diana

Seismic assessment of existing heritage buildings remains a challenging task. There is a high level of complexity and uncertainty compared with the assessment of standard buildings. Heritage masonry churches are usually prone to partial collapses during ea ...

Verso la cultura integrata della rigenerazione urbana: Corviale a Roma

Lorenzo Diana

Le politiche urbane necessitano sempre più di operare interventi di trasformazione ed adeguamento della città esistente in un’ottica di rigenerazione urbana integrata. Nel tempo, si sono succeduti numerosi tentativi di affrontare le problematiche locali at ...
