Silos are industrial facilities used for storing a huge range of different materials. In the last decades, many silos were damaged by natural events, among which the seismic events are the most significant. Indeed many ...

Silos are industrial facilities used for storing a huge range of different materials. They should be designed to resist several loading conditions, and their seismic behaviour, which strongly depends on the geometrical and ...

The present paper studies a) the restoration of the landscape in a quarry site and b) the establishment of vegetation and its incorporation into the natural landscape without affecting the aesthetics of the area. The aim ...

A number of articles have been published, studying the issue of torsional response of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings [1], the majority of them were focused on the strength of the structural elements or the structure ...
