Seminar 26 Nov 2021: Resilience and Robustness Oriented Design and Large-Scale Testing of a Base-Isolated Structures: The New Camerino University Research Center

In contrast, innovative technologies based on passive control, isolation, or energy dissipation systems, for example, offer the opportunity to preserve both structural and non-structural components from damage, hence contributing to the enhancement of resilience.

The presentation focuses on criteria used to design a base isolated construction, the new Research Centre of the University of Camerino, in order to obtain a high level of resilience and robustness of the building. Base isolated structures make it possible to study the effective behaviour under extreme events by static and dynamic (snap-back) in-field tests. The results obtained for tests involving building displacements up to 280mm (static) and 250mm (dynamic) are presented.
