Ivan Marenda

Civil Structural Engineer specialized in designing buildings located in seismic zones. Good knowledge of the seismic standards regarding the design of new and existing buildings. Study of structures by means of linear analysis (linear static analysis, linear dynamic analysis) and non-linear analysis (Time history analysis, pushover analysis). Study and estimation of seismic vulnerability of existing buildings made in concrete and masonry. Study and design of seismic devices with quasi-linear behavior, non-linear behavior (High Damping Rubber Bearing, Lead Rubber Bearing, Friction Pendulum, elastic-plastic device) and of devices to increase energy dissipation (Damper devices). Study of tests of anti-seismic devices. Study and design of existing building retrofit with the introduction of anti-seismic devices. Study and design of Tuned Mass Dampers.
