๐ Upcoming technical webinar of DIANA FEA
Title: Lessons learned from benchmarking different modeling approaches to simulate the seismic response of URM structures. How to increase user awareness on predictions?
Presenter: Dr. Francesco Parisse
๐ Abstract-in-brief: The webinar aims to provide harmonized recommendations for seismic modeling and tools for interpreting results emerged from a benchmark exercise within the scope of Subtask 10.3 of the 2022-2024 DPC-ReLUIS project in Italy. For this purpose, the in-plane response of eight URM walls was simulated by pushover analysis on different Finite Element and Equivalent Frame models implemented in general-purpose and masonry-specific software packages.

sorry to laugh about this issue..... but in 2023 when we had the fire in odemira counsil..... i never have seen anything more confusing from the authorities!!!! protecao civil, gnr, firefighters..... that no one was injured was only cause of the people not the authorities.....

More specifically, this annex will address the following issues:
- strain limits.
- material properties of bolts and welds.
- definition of model factor gamma_FE.
The adopted methodology to carry out this task includes an Open Blind Round Robin Competition of finite element numerical analysis of joint parts (e.g. bolts), components (e.g. T-stub), and joints.
โน๏ธThe objective of this Round Robin is to provide detailed validated results for the modelling of selected basic joint parts, components and joints that support the specification of the design criteria and provide a database of benchmarks for future possible assessment of the competences of FE modellers and/or software.
โน๏ธThe Open Round Robin starts on 13/1/2025, comprising several Benchmarks. Besides publishing the results in a Special Issue of a leading international scientific journal, an award will be given to the best participant for each Benchmark in an international scientific event throughout 2025 and 2026.
