Objectives

• To derive from experimental tests and detailed numerical models in WP4 & 5 simplified and more complex models for in and out-of-plane behaviour of vertical elements, in-plane behaviour of floors, and longitudinal and transversal response of vaults to be implemented in global analyses;
• To develop reliable numerical models of connections and substructures and make parametric assessment aimed at identifying interactions with repaired vertical and horizontal elements and defining optimized design procedures;
• To derive from these analyses simplified and more complex models of connections and substructures to be implemented in global analyses;
• To integrate the above mentioned models and carry out sensitivity study of buildings according to geometry, intervention techniques, stiffness of horizontal elements, connections;
• To quantify building seismic performance and response parameters to be used in seismic assessment and design.
