“…For Norcia, the M6 earthquake recordings of the sensors (OSS, Figure 2B) installed in the basement of the San Benedetto school building (e.g., Comodini et al, 2018;Falcone et al, 2021) were used to estimate the expected relative displacements (Table 3, maximum absolute values of the two horizontal components are reported) using the DARR method. The target area corresponds to the historical center, which according to Sorrentino et al (2019) was mostly constituted by low-rise URM buildings (in total 95%): 74% of them had 2 stories, 15% 1 story and 11% 3 stories.…”

“…One example of the retrofitting of the buildings in Norcia is the 3 story RC school building, from which the recordings in the basement were used for the damage assessment. The building was designed in the 1960s and retrofitted in 2003 and 2011 (Comodini et al, 2018). The second retrofitting included the installation of dissipative braces on the 1st to 3rd floors.…”

Frontiers is more than just an open-access publisher of scholarly articles: it is a pioneering approach to the world of academia, radically improving the way scholarly research is managed. The grand vision of Frontiers is a world where all people have an equal opportunity to seek, share and generate knowledge. Frontiers provides immediate and permanent online open access to all its publications, but this alone is not enough to realize our grand goals. Frontiers Journal SeriesThe Frontiers Journal Series is a multi-tier and interdisciplinary set of open-access, online journals, promising a paradigm shift from the current review, selection and dissemination processes in academic publishing. All Frontiers journals are driven by researchers for researchers; therefore, they constitute a service to the scholarly community. At the same time, the Frontiers Journal Series operates on a revolutionary invention, the tiered publishing system, initially addressing specific communities of scholars, and gradually climbing up to broader public understanding, thus serving the interests of the lay society, too. Dedication to QualityEach Frontiers article is a landmark of the highest quality, thanks to genuinely collaborative interactions between authors and review editors, who include some of the world's best academicians. Research must be certified by peers before entering a stream of knowledge that may eventually reach the public -and shape society; therefore, Frontiers only applies the most rigorous and unbiased reviews. Frontiers revolutionizes research publishing by freely delivering the most outstanding research, evaluated with no bias from both the academic and social point of view. By applying the most advanced information technologies, Frontiers is catapulting scholarly publishing into a new generation.

“…The tests were carried out by applying a constant axial load of 300 and 220 kN on panel SP1 and SP2, respectively. The axial load acting on the panel was small and did not lead to any damage or crisis due to crushing or instability phenomena (Comodini et al 2014). The horizontal load is applied under displacement control with the aim of identifying three characteristic load levels: limit of the linear behavior, first cracking conditions and conventional collapse of the panel.…”

The paper deals with the experimental research and theoretical and numerical analysis on panels made with the construction technology known as Large Lightly Reinforced Concrete Walls-Wood Blocks System (LLRCW-WBS). The results of a series of experimental tests performed on real scale panels subjected to vertical load and cyclic horizontal actions on their plane are presented. Theoretical and numerical analysis have been carried out to understand the experimental results and providing calculation models suitable for the seismic design of LLRCW-WBS panels. Theoretical procedures and numerical models allow to determine the main mechanical parameters characterizing the seismic capacity of the panels, that are strength, deformation capacity, dissipative capacity and collapse modes. Results from theoretical and numerical analysis show a good correspondence with experimental results.
