This study presents a reliable and straightforward structural analysis method, cyclic pushover analysis (CPA), coupled with a simplified numerical simulation approach to capture global and local nonlinear seismic responses of the E-Defense 10-story test st ...
Experimental results obtained from shake-table tests on complete unreinforced masonry buildings (URM) play a crucial role in enhancing modeling techniques and reducing uncertainties in seismic assessments for this type of building. This paper presents an o ...
Three years of experiments on SPIDER allowed characterization of the main features of the source plasma and of the negative ion beam, in the original design configuration. For the large dimensions of the source chamber, and of the extraction area, the inve ...
