TOPICS

The theme of the Workshop, the presentation should be focused on trying to answer any of the following or related subjects: 

• How to develop the seismic hazard and to scale ground motion records in terms of energy?

• Are energy-based IMs able to characterize the damage potential of ground motion?

• Do we need to look for energy-based EDPs?

• How to evaluate accurately the energy dissipation capacity of structural members and systems, especially those with degrading properties?

• How can the damage be estimated in terms of energy?

• How to define local and global collapse in terms of energy?

• What is the influence of structural modeling in energy-based damage assessment of structures?

• How can the energy dissipation demand on structural components be estimated from the total energy input?

• How to elaborate a new framework for seismic design based on the concept of energy?

• How to implement innovative seismic technologies for different types of structural systems in order to dissipate energy and to develop design recommendations for various types of seismic energy dissipation devices?

• Is it possible to quantify the response of the structure and measure the energy distribution over the system using structural health monitoring system?
