  • Dynamic investigation on the Mirandola bell tower in post-earthquake scenarios 
    Zanotti Fragonara, Luca; Boscato, Giosue; Ceravolo, Rosario; Lentile, Silvia; Russo, Salvatore; Pecorelli, Marica Leonarda; Quattrone, Antonino (Springer Verlag (Germany), 2016-07-19)
    After the seismic events of the 20th and 29th of May 2012 in Emilia (Italy), most of the monumental and historic buildings of the area were severely damaged. In a few structures, partial collapse mechanisms were observed ...
  • Experimental testing of a masonry arch bridge model subject to increasing level of damage 
    Degiovanni, L.; Quattrone, Antonino; Zanotti Fragonara, Luca; Ceravolo, Rosario; De Stefano, Alessandro (European Commission, 2011-01-31)
    Masonry arch bridges are particularly sensitive to the bearings loss produced by scour of the streambed soil at the piers foundations. A 1:2 scaled experimental model of a masonry arch bridge was built to study the ...
  • Model updating of strategic building structures under real earthquake loading 
    Ceravolo, Rosario; Matta, Emiliano; Quattrone, Antonino; Zanotti Fragonara, Luca; De Stefano, Alessandro (CRC Press, 2013-12-31)
    Public buildings such as hospitals, schools, churches and city halls constitute an asset of strategic importance into the life of a community. The assessment of the safety conditions and the vulnerability to natural ...
  • Structural system identification in the presence of resonant non-structural appendages 
    Matta, Emiliano; Ceravolo, Rosario; De Stefano, Alessandro; Quattrone, Antonino; Zanotti Fragonara, Luca (Civil-Comp Press, 2012-12-31)
    Accurate finite element (FE) models are required in many applications of civil engineering. Non-structural elements (NSEs) often interfere with the main structure, altering its stiffness and modal signature. Neglecting ...
  • Tuned mass dampers for the mitigation of impulsive ground motions 
    Matta, Emiliano; Ceravolo, Rosario; De Stefano, Alessandro; Quattrone, Antonino; Zanotti Fragonara, Luca (Civil-Comp Press, 2012-12-01)
    The performance of tuned mass dampers (TMDs) diminishes as the input duration shortens. As a result, they are not recommended for use against short-duration, pulse-like ground motions, such as those occurring in near-field ...
  • Unscented kalman filter for the identification of passive control devices 
    Ceravolo, Rosario; De Stefano, Alessandro; Matta, Emiliano; Quattrone, Antonino; Zanotti Fragonara, Luca (Taylor & Francis, 2013-12-31)
    The Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) is a technique which allows dealing with nonlinear systems and it is able to handle any type of non-linearity. In detail, differently from Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), UKF does not require ...
