Within the previous RFCS project EQUALJOINTS (RFSR-CT-2013-00021), seismic prequalification criteria of steel joints have been developed. The EQUALJOINTS-PLUS project aims at the valorisation, the dissemination and the extension of the developed prequalification criteria for practical applications to a wide audience (i.e. academic institutions, Engineers and architects, construction companies, steel producers). The main objectives of the project are the following: to collect and organize informative material concerning the prequalified joint typologies: informative documents will be prepared in 12 languages (English, Spanish, and Slovenian), to develop pre-normative design recommendations of seismically qualified joints on the basis of results from Equaljoints project, to develop design guidelines in order to design steel structures accounting for the type of joints and their relevant nonlinear response, to develop a software and an app for mobile to predict the inelastic response of joints, to organize seminars and workshops in EU countries and the USA for disseminating the gained knowledge, to create a web site with free access to the users in order to promote the obtained results, to create a You-Tube channel to make available the videos of the experimental tests and simulations to show the evolution of damage pattern.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
