Ricerche per la ricostruzione: Iniziative a carattere tecnico e scientifico a supporto della ricostruzione

This volume presents the results of research and experiments conducted by a team of researchers from the Universities of Perugia, Florence and Rome and the Higher Institute of Research and Training in Special Materials and for Advanced Technologies. The collection and synthesis of the research is curated by A.Borri, M.Corradi and A.Vignoli. This is the structure of the book: PART ONE Mechanical characterization of the walls of the historic earthquake zone and experimental verification of the efficiency improvement techniques for seismic masonry buildings. PART TWO Physico-chemical and mechanical characterization of composite materials for reinforcement of structures damaged by the earthquake. PART THREE Umbria-Marche earthquake of September 1997 and subsequent Sellano: behavior of a consolidated group of buildings.
