Scientific-Disciplinary Group

08/CEAR-07 - Structural Analysis And Design

Description

The research will focus on numerical modeling ofmaterials, elements, and structures representative ofexisting and historical masonry construction, to refinepractical methods for their seismic safety assessment,with special emphasis on building aggregates peculiar ofhistorical centers. It will also cover the numericalvalidation of retrofit techniques for masonry walls, floordiaphragms, roof structures and connections, includingthe application of composite materials or timbercomponents.
