DOI: 10.1016/j.istruc.2020.04.003
Abstract: Abstract Linear procedures (lateral static force method or modal response spectrum analysis) are the standard approach for the seismic design of new structures. On the contrary, nonlinear procedures, in particular incremental pushover analysis, should be… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jobe.2021.102586
Abstract: Abstract Many unreinforced masonry buildings are completely destroyed after destructive earthquakes but, their failure mechanisms cannot be precisely determined. More specifically damage to such buildings is evinced during low or moderate magnitude earthquakes. The aim… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.soildyn.2017.02.014
Abstract: Abstract This paper develops a model to forecast unreinforced masonry buildings’ usability, i.e. the condition of a building being habitable or occupiable after a seismic event. The model is based on scores given to seven… read more here.
