ARCHITECTURAL AND STRUCTURAL CONFIGURATIONS OFBUILDINGS WITH INNOVATIVE ASEISMIC SYSTEMS

摘要

A research is being currently carried out aimed at pointing out the most appropriate structuralconfigurations, taking into account the innovative seismic protection systems, and to develop amethodology for building's seismic design based on the study of the main factors, both architectural andstructural, which influence the seismic response of buildings. The research is structured in four phases:data collection, requirements definition, performance analysis, summary of results. The goal consists ofan organic list of structural solutions allowing for the optimum articulation of architectural morphologiesaiming at seismic protection; suitably outlined examples of typical architectural configurations includingtheir most significant seismic performances; optimum classification of innovative seismic protectionsystems for the defined morphological classes. Considerations and results obtained from the first steps ofthe research development are commented and a sample design is presented.
