Seismic Upgrading of the Biological Sciences Buildings
The seismic upgrading of the University of Verona’s Biological Sciences buildings was achieved by installing seismic isolators at the tops of the existing columns, following the works required to transfer the structural loads. The solution reduced the response of the superstructure to ground motion and, consequently, the accelerations transmitted to the different floors. In addition to improving the building’s safety, the intervention provided enhanced protection for the sophisticated scientific equipment housed in the laboratories.
