Fire
- Effects of high temperature on the performance of concrete members reinforced with FRP bars (PRIN2006)
- Behaviour at high temperatures of RC members strengthened with the NSM technique applied with cement mortars.
- Passive protection of metallic elements with intumescent paints.
- Fire resistance of steel and steel-concrete composite structures (COSTC26 and Commissione Fuoco)
- Fire safety engineering for new and existing buildings (COST actions)
- Fire Risk Assessment for the selection of fire scenarios (Metropolis)
Extreme actions
- Performance-based blast engineering
- Structural vulnerability to deliberate explosions (terrorist attacks) and accidental explosions (gas leaks from building utility service systems and pipelines)
- Structural vulnerability to landslides and large settlements due to subsidence and soil holes, structural robustness
- Resilience of urban systems to extreme events
- Vulnerability related to malicious actions of transport infrastructures (PON STRIT, DPC-RELUIS 2014-2018, Metrics, POR – COMPOSITES, EPCIP – SAS)
