This short course will focus on understanding and simulating the dynamic response of masonry structures subjected to earthquake loading. The course will start with the fundamental dynamics governing the rocking and overturning of structures, and how the response of rocking structures differs from typical elastic structures. Subsequently, the course will focus on simulating the response of rocking structures using analytical dynamics and computational modeling, and in particular discrete element modeling (DEM). Numerous examples and case studies will be presented. Finally, application of these concepts to more complex scenarios will be considered, for example: in-plane and out-of-plane interaction during seismic response, and elastic amplification inducing rocking motion.

Il corso si terrà in modalità mista: in presenza presso l'Aula Seminari Capannone C, Facoltà di Architettura, via Gramsci 53, Roma, e online tramite l'applicazione Zoom.
Per i corsi erogati dal Dottorato del DISG non è prevista l'assegnazione di crediti formativi ai partecipati esterni ma solo l'attestazione delle ore di corso seguite (previa verifica della presenza da remoto o fisica).
