Europe is characterised by a high level of seismic risk in terms of intensity and frequency, as evidenced by the significant damage caused to the region's building heritage.

Abstract

Europe is characterised by a high level of seismic risk in terms of intensity and frequency, as evidenced by the significant damage caused to the region's building heritage. Italy is one of the most seismically active areas in the Mediterranean Basin, having experienced several destructive events in recent decades. Therefore, exploring the seismic behaviour of existing buildings and developing innovative technical solutions to achieve a higher level of seismic safety is essential. These solutions should be adaptable to any structural typology and allow for energy-efficient retrofitting. The RESUME project offers a comprehensive solution for retrofitting existing reinforced concrete (RC) buildings by addressing two key issues: (i) seismic behaviour, by incorporating a system that enhances the building's strength, stiffness, and limited ductility, and (ii) energy efficiency, by optimising the building's thermal insulation and improving the behaviour of the opaque envelope concerning heat transfer during both heating and cooling seasons. The RESUME project proposes an innovative dry seismic coat with an exoskeleton to provide seismic-resistant retrofitting of existing RC structures. The anticipated outcomes of the project, which will be achieved through shaking table tests at the IZIIS Laboratory in Skopje on retrofitted RC 3D frames, include increased seismic safety, improved energy efficiency compared with conventional coat systems, and the development of a method for assessing the seismic-energy vulnerability of existing RC buildings.
