Abstract
Structural rehabilitation has globally become an urgent need due to both widespread construction obsolescence and more demanding requirements from modern construction codes, especially in earthquake-prone areas, where upgrading the existing constructions has become a primary goal [...]

The performance offered by the proposed retrofit techniques was assessed by using nonlinear time history analysis, and the better solution in terms of the structural behavior, expected damage, and economic impact was identified for the case study
Cantagallo et al [2] proposed a multilevel procedure for the seismic safety assessment of historical constructions, based on three interrelated phases: building-knowledge acquisition, structural behavior analysis, and safety assessment
Summary
11 original articles are published, representing relevant contributions on innovative experimental, analytical, and numerical studies; novel strengthening techniques and design methods; and real case studies, including modern, historical, and archeological applications. The performance offered by the proposed retrofit techniques was assessed by using nonlinear time history analysis, and the better solution in terms of the structural behavior, expected damage, and economic impact was identified for the case study.
