Geotechnical Factors in Seismic Design of Foundations State-of- The-art Report

This paper reviews the factors that influence the behavior of foundations in seismic environments. It discusses aspects related with seismic load definition, dynamic soil properties, field and laboratory testing equipment, geoseismic instrumentation of prototypes, foundation seismic stability, use of artificial intelligence, and others. It also points out areas where more research is needed to ...

SEISMIC ISSUES IN THE DESIGN PROCESS THE ROLE OF ARCHITECT IN SEISMIC SAFETY ISSUES IN THE DESIGN PROCESS

When a specific building is examined and analysed for its architectural merits, it is the visible, superficial aspects, which are considered, for example: aesthetics, function, spatial relationships, and landscape. One of the most important invisible factors that should be considered in the design process is the safety of buildings against natural hazards, particularly against earthquakes. Whil...

Robust Geotechnical Design – A New Design Perspective

Roberto Paolucci DOCTORAL PROGRAM IN STRUCTURAL SEISMIC AND GEOTECHNICAL ENGINEERING

Objectives of the Doctoral Program Structural, Seismic and Geotechnical Engineering SSGE consists of the disciplines and techniques that allow to understand, model and control the behavior of: (a) structural materials (concrete, steel, masonry, composites, bio-materials and materials for micro-systems), (b) structural systems (from constructions to bio-mechanical systems and micro-systems), (c)...
