The S4H members Dr. Shaghayegh Karimzadeh, Dr. Matteo Salvalaggio, and Daniel Caicedo recently presented three conference papers at the 10th ECCOMAS Thematic Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2025) in Rhodes, Greece.

The contributions were discussed at technical sessions focusing on: Innovations in ground motion selection and scaling techniques for structural engineering applications, and Innovative approaches for seismic assessment of built heritage.

The three papers regarded:

1. Code-based seismic safety-checking of historical masonry buildings.
2. Seismic fragility analysis of masonry buildings using real and simulated ground motion records.
3. Effectiveness of an internal seismic retrofit strategy addressed to Lisbon pre-code masonry buildings.

The main outcomes of these studies can be found here.
