This volume presents state-of-the-art methods and emerging solutions for retrofitting buildings and infrastructure to meet the dual imperatives of decarbonisation and resilience. By reframing retrofitting as a multi-performance design problem, the book integrates structural safety, functional recovery, life-cycle environmental impact, and risk reduction under both single- and cascading-hazard scenarios. Its chapters cover several topics on sustainable retrofitting for buildings, including but not limited to: performance-based assessment of existing structures, strengthening materials and techniques for seismic areas, low-carbon seismic retrofit solutions such as Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT)-based infills, fire-safety retrofitting and data-driven inspection and monitoring for energy and comfort retrofits.Sustainable Retrofitting Towards Resilient Buildings and Infrastructure provides a coherent toolbox for practitioners, researchers, and decision-makers gain to design retrofit interventions that are technically robust, economically defensible, and aligned with climate and societal objectives. It addresses enabling governance through proportional-improvement legal frameworks and provides heritage-focused case studies from Italy. This book is also suitable as a textbook for graduate-level courses and professional training in seismic retrofit, sustainable construction, and multi-hazard resilience engineering.

This volume builds upon the 2019 International Bamboo Construction Competition (IBCC 2019) from the Concepts to the Realized Pavilions. Several designed projects are described, and particular attention is devoted to the realized prototypes. It also presents the Bamboo Eye, an important example of architecture realized by INBAR for the 2019 Beijing Horticultural Expo. As such, the volume provides an overview of the use of bamboo poles and engineered bamboo products for temporary and normal constructions, and represents a compact review of the applications of bamboo poles and/or engineered bamboo products in the construction industry. This book will be of interest for researchers, architects and structural engineers in field of bamboo constructions.

This book encapsulates the state-of-the-art advancements and methodological innovations in structural and geotechnical engineering using OpenSees, as detailed by esteemed international scholars and practitioners at the 6th Eurasian Conference on OpenSees (EOSD), held in Beijing, China, on June 24-25, 2024. The event, following a two-day course with more than 100 attendees, was dedicated to examining recent progress and applications within the OpenSees framework. The book delves into a spectrum of topics, such as the deployment of OpenSees in structural and geotechnical projects, the development of novel computational elements and materials models, and enhancements in the software’s pre and post-processing capabilities that improve simulation accuracy and user interaction. Each paper is rigorously vetted through a comprehensive international peer-review process, ensuring the inclusion of high-quality, impactful research. The technical content presented extends beyond mere applications, offering detailed discussions on the integration of new numerical modeling techniques, the validation of complex material models under seismic loading, and the optimization of simulation workflows for enhanced scalability and efficiency. Moreover, this book serves as a critical resource for identifying emerging research trajectories and facilitating partnerships among experts in OpenSees.
