Abstract:Several reinforced concrete (RC) structures built in Europe in the first decades after WWII do not meet the current safety standards, as those older buildings were built without any regard to the seismic actions and the structural details for ductility. Moreover, to reduce land use and environmental impact due to the construction of new buildings, governments are encouraging the upgrading and the reuse of older ones, rather than their demolition. Consequently, nowadays seismic retrofitting of existing structur… Show more
