چکیده

Objectives of the Doctoral Program Structural, Seismic and Geotechnical Engineering SSGE consists of the disciplines and techniques that allow to understand, model and control the behavior of: (a) structural materials (concrete, steel, masonry, composites, bio-materials and materials for micro-systems), (b) structural systems (from constructions to bio-mechanical systems and micro-systems), (c) soils, and (d) environment-construction interaction. Being deeply-rooted in Civil Engineering, which is – by its own nature – highly inter-disciplinary, SSGE focuses also on the environmental actions, either external (like earthquake, vibrations, irradiation, wind and fire) or ensuing from soil-structure interaction (like those caused by retained-earth thrust, landslides and water-table fluctuations). Because of their generality in materials and structural modeling, the methods developed within the domain of SSGE are very advantageous also in other technical-scientific domains, whenever understanding and controlling the mechanical aspects are necessary to guarantee both design reliability and structural safety, serviceability and durability. Many are the examples of the issues typical of SSGE: from tall buildings and bridges to industrial bio-mechanical and micro-electromechanical systems, from offshore structures and dams to the rehabilitation of monumental buildings, from seismic design and structural dynamics to slope stability, tunnel behavior and foundations, not to quote many issues that are in common with several branches of Industrial Engineering. Within this context, the primary objective of this Graduate School is to favor the advancement of the knowledge, with reference to: (a) innovation in materials and structures; (b) building safety under highly-variable actions; (c) soil and surface/buried structure stability; and (d) biomechanics, that is a key aspect of industrial bio-engineering. This objective is pursued by giving the PhD Candidates an advanced, researchoriented formation, based on the pivotal role of Structural Engineering and on the multi-disciplinary nature of Seismic, Geotechnical and Bio-Mechanical Engineering.

SoilEngineering: A Microsoft Excel® spreadsheet© program for geotechnical and geophysical analysis of soils

SoilEngineering is a user-friendly, interactive Microsoft Excel spreadsheet program for the geotechnical and geophysical analysis of soils. The influence of soil behavior on earthquake characteristics and/or structural design is one of the major elements in investigating earthquake forces, and thus the structural response with static and dynamic loads. With its interactive nature, the program p...

Determination of Dynamic Soil Properties Using Geophysical Methods

The analysis of foundation vibrations and geotechnical earthquake engineering problems in civil engineering requires characterization of dynamic soil properties using geophysical methods. Dynamic structural analysis of the superstructures also requires knowledge of the dynamic response of the soilstructure, which, in turn relies on dynamics soil properties. Machine vibrations, blasting and seis...

Evaluation of Seismic Vulnerability of Reinforced Concrete Buildings Adjacent to the Deep Excavations

In this study, the effect of deep excavation on the seismic response of RC moment resisting building systems has been studied. Deep excavation can cause significant changes in the stress and strain levels of soil environment and also changes in the propagation of seismic waves. This leads to permanent displacements in the foundation system. In this study, three RC building systems, i.e. 5, 10, ...

Parallel Earthquake Simulation

The simulation of structural and geotechnical systems is a critical step in their design and assessment. The purpose of an earthquake simulation is to estimate the performance of the system under seismic excitation or loads that represent the effects of an earthquake. Structural and geotechnical simulation has a long history of development in earthquake engineering. The computation required to ...
