Exceptional loads on buildings and structures may have different causes, including high-strain dynamic effects due to natural hazards, man-made attacks, and accidents, as well as extreme operational conditions
The knowledge on the topic has been improved by two interesting research contributions focused on composite concrete-steel shear walls [12] and structural glass members [13], respectively, with the support of laboratory/on-site experiments and numerical analyses. Another interesting group of papers dealing with soil properties and structures–soil interaction phenomena further extends the research fields covered in this Special Issue
Acknowledgments: This Special Issue would not be possible without the contributions of various talented authors, hardworking and professional reviewers, and dedicated editorial team members of the Applied Sciences journal
Summary
Exceptional loads on buildings and structures may have different causes, including high-strain dynamic effects due to natural hazards, man-made attacks, and accidents, as well as extreme operational conditions (severe temperature variations, humidity, etc.). A first set of papers reports on earthquake structural design of structures and buildings [1,2,3,4,5]. Various kinds of structures have been considered under the effects of seismic loads, including steel frames [1], liquid storage tanks [2], and an experimental prototype of atrium-style underground metro station [3], and existing masonry structures [4] or new timber buildings [5], presenting a perspective review on their seismic design.
