NEWTON is organized into five Work Packages (WPs), linked together as conceptually sketched in the flow chart.
Task 1.1 – Literature review of past numerical and experimental studies
Task 1.2 – Review of codes methods for the computation of the NSCs seismic demand
WP2 - Shaking table tests and dynamic identification data on scaled prototypes of ordinary buildings
Task 2.1 - Design and realization of specimens
WP3 – Numerical simulations and validation of tools for the FS definition in r.c. structures
Task 3.1 – Set-up and calibration of numerical models of the r.c. prototype
Task 3.2 – Numerical parametric analyses
WP4 – Numerical simulations and validation of tools for the FS definition in URM structures
Task 4.1 – Set-up and calibration of numerical models of the URM prototype
Task 4.2 – Numerical parametric analyses
WP5 – New practice-oriented procedures to compute the seismic demand in terms of FS
Task 5.1 – New practice-oriented procedures for the FS evaluation
Task 5.2 – Improvement of current seismic risk classification criteria including NSCs
