The 3rd Newsletter for INACHUS has just been released. It details ASI’s role in performing onsite structural collapse analysis of a reinforced concrete building for use by Urban Search & Rescue (USAR) during emergency response to collapsed or damaged...
Ambient vibration measurements and 3-D nonlinear time-history numerical modeling are used to assess the retrofitting measures conducted in a 6-story unreinforced masonry building (URM) built in the end of the 19th century in Switzerland. Retrofitting measures were...
Deliverable 3.2 Summary Report Report on Model Enhancement and Validation Cases was just released. The report identifies the promising of the capabilities of Extreme Loading for Structures (ELS) to be used in disaster response situations to accurately predict...
SSignificant research effort has been devoted in recent years to the evaluation of the capacity of steel frame structures to resist progressive collapse after sudden column loss. Due to the complex load-structure interaction and material behaviour, it can be very...
