This book gathers the best peer-reviewed papers presented at the Italian Concrete Days national conference, held in Rome, Italy, on October 27-28, 2016. The conference topics encompass the aspects of design, execution, rehabilitation and control of concrete structures, with particular reference to theory and modeling, applications and realizations, materials and investigations, technology and construction techniques. The contributions amply demonstrate that today’s structural concrete applications concern not only new constructions, but more and more rehabilitation, conservation, strengthening and seismic upgrading of existing premises, and that requirements cover new aspects within the frame of sustainability, including environmental friendliness, durability, adaptability and reuse of works and / or materials. As such the book represents an invaluable, up-to-the-minute tool, providing an essential overview of structural concrete, as well as all new materials with cementitious matrices.

This report summarizes the principal findings of a four year study for Caltrans of the seismic response of older multi-level, multi-column reinforced concrete bridge structures. Methods have been devised to improve prediction of the global response of these structures, to analyze and assess their local behavior, and to retrofit them to achieve adequate seismic behavior. The behavior of these structures has been found to be complex and influenced by a wide variety of parameters. Moreover, existing analysis methods often provide non-conservative estimates of behavior. The investigations conducted provide greater insight into the response characteristics of existing multiple column bridge structures. These have permitted development of improved analytical models and tools, retrofit strategies and design concepts.

The feasibility of accelerating the discovery of new knowledge on the seismic behavior and response of the built environment and the complex civil infrastructure systems comprising major urban centers, and of synthesizing, transferring and utilizing this knowledge effectively in mitigating the potential life, physical, social and economic losses resulting from a major urban earthquake was explored at a bilateral Workshop convened in Maui, Hawaii during December 14 through 16, 1995. The 51 participants at the workshop were selected from leading experts from Japan, the U.S. and elsewhere in a wide variety of disciplines from engineering, social science and public policy research. The objective of this Workshop was to identify a research agenda related to urban earthquake loss reduction through a synthesis of available knowledge about the Hyogoken, Nanbu and Northridge earthquake disasters.
