BIO-based Resilient Energy and Seismic retrofiT Of the REsidential building stock

Francesco Pittau

Facing the need to design innovative solutions to achieve an ever-greater standard of seismic safety, which adapts to any structural typology of the buildings, the project studies an innovative dry seismic coat in the form of a classic panels adopting green materials, having into a unique element a thermal insulation system combined with a seismic-resistant device. Furthermore, the proposal relies on the development of a design abacus, a practical guide of seismic coat solutions to be adopted according to the building construction technology and the climatic and seismic parameters. The simplicity of application and the wide applicability will allow to transform the building heritage into seismically safe and energetically self-sufficient structures, allowing at the same time to operate architectural restyling and functional requalification of urban fabrics. The panels will be applied to a portion of an existing reinforced concrete building designed in the absence of anti-seismic regulations.
