Website's ProjectValorization of innovative anti-seismic devices
Carlo Andrea Castiglioni (Principal Investigator)
The INNOSEIS project dealt with innovative anti-seismic devices. Information documents for 12 innovative dissipative systems have been produced and combined in a single volume, translated in several European languages, for the dissemination to all partners of the construction sector. Criteria have been proposed as to determine which of the systems are characterized as devices and are subject to CE marking in accordance with EN 15129, and which may be considered as innovative systems that require a code approval in EN 1998-1. For the latter, pre-normative design recommendations have been drafted that will allow them to receive the status of code-approved systems. A reliability-based methodological procedure to define values of behaviour factors (q-factors) for building structures has been proposed, which will be in turn applied to determine q-factors for structural systems with the innovative systems.
Contribution to SDGs: 9
DABC Activities
1. Definition of a methodology compatible with Eurocode to quantify the behavior factors “q” in order to obtain uniform safety against collapse due to earthquakes for different structural systems with dissipative components. 2. Design of detailed case studies (multi-story steel and steel-concrete composite structures for residential and office buildings) in which dissipative systems are used. 3. Organization of seminars and workshops to disseminate the results of the project.
