Chapter
The prediction of the transient dynamic response of monolithic structural systems, as well as of heterogeneous (numerical/ physical) subsystems, decomposed by computational or physical considerations typical o...
Chapter
Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of civil-engineering structures is becoming more and more popular both in Europe and worldwide mainly because of the opportunities that it offers in the fields of constructio...
Article
This paper aims to investigate the seismic vulnerability of an existing unanchored steel storage tank ideally installed in a refinery in Sicily (Italy), along the lines of performance-based earthquake engineer...
Article
In this paper, we intend to mitigate absolute accelerations and displacements in the low-frequency regime of multiple-degrees-of-freedom fuel storage tanks subjected to stochastic seismic excitations. Therefor...
Article
This study proposes an innovative hybrid lateral load-resisting system, termed the ring-cable-cylinder bracing system, aimed at improving the energy dissipation capacity and ductility of the previously introdu...

Article
Seismic risk assessment of industrial facilities is complex due to the presence of different types of equipment. It represents a research issue that requires further investigation. To this end, some analytical...
Chapter and Conference Paper
In the laser cutting process, cutting parameters play a crucial role in determining the quality of the cut surface. In this study, a fiber laser machine was used to cut mild steel S355 with a thickness of 12 m...
Article
This paper presents the seismic mitigation of typical storage tanks where extreme loading conditions are considered by safe shutdown earthquakes. To reproduce the main dynamic properties of the superstructure,...
Article
Reinforced concrete (RC) rigid-frame bridges with tall hollow piers were widely constructed in Southwestern China, an earthquake-prone area. For such bridges, the seismic damages may be underestimated if multi...
