In the present paper, an integrated intervention system applicable to concrete-framed buildings is presented. The purpose of improve both seismic and energetic behaviour such using cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels. Two alternative configurations with different levels invasiveness are described. Considering a double-wythe masonry-infilled frame, most invasive configuration consists in replace...

Downtown Budapest residential properties from the turn of 19th and 20th centuries, organized around inner courtyards, where historicism free style are mixed with premodernism, socialist modernism contemporary buildings. The older buildings typically neglected, in need renovation, especially more palatial examples. damaged roof on this building has been restored to its former splendour using con...

The goal of this study was to develop an understanding of the nature of wave loading on a wood-framed scale residential building model for a variety of building configurations and test conditions. Testing was performed on a 1/6th scale two-story wood-framed residential structure. The structure was impacted with waves and tested in both flooded and nonflooded conditions. The measured forces were...

Considering the effects of earthquakes occurred during the last 15 years, this article focusses on finding solutions to minimize the human and economic losses. Several methodologies were developed in order to assess the vulnerability of the built environment with special reference to one of the most suitable structural systems in seismic areas for dwellings, offices or other functionalities, wh...

Recent earthquakes have highlighted a general inadequacy of the existing building stock in Italy and need to address this critical issue by increasing its structural resilience. At same time, problem energy consumption residential commercial buildings is increasingly significant incompatible with environmental targets set governments. Considering all aforementioned aspects, seismic upgrading bu...

at present, the tubular structural systems are mainly used in tall buildings to withstand earthquake loads. although it is possible to analyse the structure by finite element methods using standard three dimensional programs, the system is generally time-consuming and expensive in the primary design work. in this paper, for the analysis of framed-tube systems, a simple method was studied and de...
