The new italian seismic zoning and New Technical Standards don’t allow designs that don’t include seismic analysis anymore, in both simplified or complete version. Ai performs all types of seismic analysis using the most advanced calculation softwares and innovative technologies such as those based on “seismic isolation”.
“Seismic isolation” is a technique largely used abroad currently taken much into consideration in Italy as well thanks to the adoption of a new regulation sufficiently detailed on the topic.
As it is a very “young” technology it will be highly applied in the near future because it has enormous potential application both in the optimization of structural behavior through seismic activity and in the drastic reduction of realization costs, with the same performance of the building, especially in seismic zones 1 and 2.
Ai is daily committed to involve private clients and Public Administrations in using these innovative techniques that, against an increase in construction costs of a few percentage points, can guarantee structures with seismic performances able to avoid not just collapses but also non-structural damages which would lead to high costs of recovery anyway.
