𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐏𝐃𝐘𝐍 2027: 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐌𝐒38 - 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐌𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐞𝐢𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭
The minisymposium aims to connect seismological characterization and ground motion modelling with nonlinear structural analysis, performance-based assessment, fragility and loss estimation, and the design and selection of seismic retrofit strategies for masonry and reinforced concrete structures. Particular emphasis is placed on innovative and eco-efficient solutions that balance seismic-risk reduction with environmental impacts, economic costs, resource consumption, constructability, downtime, and long-term resilience.
Topics of interest include:
▪️ Seismic-hazard assessment, ground-motion modelling, near-fault effects, local site response, seismic microzonation, and soil-structure interaction;
Nonlinear numerical modelling and performance assessment of masonry and reinforced concrete buildings, bridges, cultural-heritage structures, and critical facilities;
▪️ Fragility, vulnerability, damage, loss, functionality, post-earthquake recovery, and resilience assessment;
Seismic retrofit using isolation, supplemental damping, and innovative strengthening systems;
▪️ Eco-efficient retrofit design, life-cycle assessment and costing, embodied carbon, resource efficiency, and circular-economy approaches;
▪️ Uncertainty quantification, sensitivity analysis, probabilistic methods, multi-objective optimization, and multi-criteria decision-making;
▪️ Artificial intelligence, machine learning, surrogate modelling, and digital twins.
