To limit the effects of seismic events on reinforced or prestressed concrete structures, many attempts have been made by researchers in order to (i) improve the knowledge of the response of materials (steel bars and concrete) and members by means of laboratory tests, (ii) develop numerical and capacity models, (iii) enhance procedures for the dynamic analysis and assessment of the seismic performance of structures and (iv) suggest innovative interventions for the seismic retrofit of old and damaged reinforced or prestressed concrete structures. This Special Issue is a collection of 11 important research works that cover a wide range of problems related to the previously mentioned research fields. Both researchers and practical engineers are expected to greatly benefit from this Special Issue in view of their own work and for a better comprehension of the response of r.c. members and structures.Technology: general issuesbicsscHistory of engineering & technologybicsscseismic retrofittingmainshock-damaged RC framesoft steel damperseismic performancemainshock-aftershock seismic sequenceretrofittingmodularfinite element analysisflexural behaviorductilityRC columnsstrengtheningdirect fasteningsteel jacketsdesign procedureprecast reinforced concrete deep beamexperimental studyfinite element method (FEM)RC framesbrick infillsprior damagefinite element analysesseismic jointFRPRC corroded columnslocalised corrosionnumerical analysesmodelling strategiescyclic actionsseismic isolationasymmetric buildingmode-adaptive bidirectional pushover analysis (MABPA)seismic retrofitmomentary energy inputRC-framed skinseismic assessmentnonlinear static analysisexisting RC buildingsretrofitting interventioncolumn removalnon-linear analysisprogressive collapsereinforced concrete frameseismic responseoptimizationcurtailed shear wallbuckling-restrained bracegenetic algorithmseismic upgradingRC buildingsindustrial buildingsindustrial heritagesteel exoskeletonsphotovoltaic plantsTechnology: general issuesHistory of engineering & technologyRossi Pier Paoloedt11186Bosco MelinaedtRossi Pier PaoloothBosco MelinaothBOOK9910619461603321Seismic Assessment and Retrofit of Reinforced Concrete Structures3038940UNINA
