1. BACKGROUND
Nowadays, most innovative techniques for the passive control of seismic
vibrations - namely base seismic isolation (BSI), passive energy dissipation
(PED) and provisional hydraulic coupling (HC) by means of shock transmitters -
are considered to be already fully mature technologies of providing a
mitigation of seismic damage for civil structures and equipment and have proven
to be reliable and cost-effective for many structures such as bridges and
viaducts, civil buildings, cultural heritage and critical facilities. With
regard to the PED systems, several types of devices were recently developed and
optimized, like viscous, elastic-plastic, viscoelastic and electromagnetic
systems, as well as systems using shape memory alloys (SMA) and other smart
materials.
There are already approximately two thousands
applications of BSI, PED and HC in various countries, which concern not only
new constructions but also several retrofits of existing important structures,
including cultural heritage, as initially judged necessary especially after the
Loma Prieta (1989), Northridge (1994) and Kobe (1995) earthquakes and more
recently, after those which struck Italy in 1997-98 and Greece, Taiwan, Turkey,
Central America and India in the last two years.
It is worthwhile stressing that
the innovative anti-seismic techniques are of great interest not only for
highly seismic countries, but also for areas characterized by low or moderate
seismicity.
The design and behavior experience concerning
the large civil buildings and bridges and viaducts provided with base BSI, PED
and HC (for which the applications of such innovative anti-seismic systems are
the most numerous) is extremely important for widely extending the use of these
techniques to other extremely important application fields, like the cultural
heritage, regular apartment buildings and industrial facilities, including the
nuclear plants and other high risk facilities (e.g. some chemical plants). In fact, the applications in these fields
are not very numerous yet, although some applications to high risk facilities
are quite important and several new projects are in a rather advanced
development stage.
In addition, the progress of floor seismic
isolation and that of active, hybrid and especially, semi-active vibration
control techniques, for which important projects are now in progress in various
countries, has already led to some promising results, not only for the control
of wind-induced vibrations, but also for the seismic protection.
The only remarkable still
remaining problems for the innovative passive anti-seismic techniques concern
the design rules for structures provided with such systems. In fact, although
design rules or guidelines are now available in most countries, they are still
different in the different countries, frequently still penalize the use of the
innovative anti-seismic systems with respect to the conventional design and
their application still requires heavy approval processes. For the non-passive
control systems the problems are even worse: in fact, these techniques are not
considered by design rules.
International cooperation and detailed
exchange of information and experience in both civil field (including cultural
heritage) and the industrial (nuclear and non-nuclear) field are extremely
important for the correct development and application of all the
above-mentioned innovative techniques. To this aim, at San Francisco in 1989,
Italian, Japanese and US experts started organizing an International Seminar on
the innovative anti-seismic techniques. This first Seminar mainly dealt with
BSI of the nuclear reactors. Since then, this Seminar has been held every two
years, at Nara (Japan) in 1991, Capri (Italy) in 1993, Santiago (Chile) in
1995, Taormina (Italy) in 1997 and Cheju (Korea) in 1999. The Seminar
objectives were gradually extended from the nuclear reactors to the other types
of structures and from BSI to the other vibration control techniques. More and
more experts from more and more countries and International Institutions (the
European Commission and the International Atomic Energy Agency) joined the
International Organizing Committee. Until the last event of Cheju, the Seminar
was organized in conjunction with the International Conferences on Structural
Mechanics in Reactor Technology (SMiRT), in the framework of its
Post-Conference events.
This 7th International Seminar, on
the contrary, as recommended at Cheju, has been organized as an independent
event, based on the great interest in holding it in an area like Umbria Region,
which suffered severe earthquake damages in 1997 and where new important
applications of the innovative anti-seismic techniques were recently completed
or are in progress, and especially at site like Assisi, where the restoration
of the worldwide famous Basilica Superiore di San Francesco was seismically
retrofitted and restored by making use, for the first time in the world, of SMA
devices (it is well known that the 1997 earthquake had severely damaged the Basilica,
including famous frescos of Cimabue and Giotto).
In addition, the Seminar will be held in the
last three and a half days of the week preceding that of the 5th
World Congress on Joints, Bearings and Seismic Systems for Concrete Structures,
which will take place in Rome on October 7 to 11, 2001 (see page 2 of this
Announcement).
Similar to the two previous events held in
Italy, this 7th Seminar is being organized by the Italian Working
Group on Seismic Isolation (GLIS) of the Italian National Association for
Earthquake Engineering (ANIDIS) through the sponsorship and patronage of the
Italian Agency for New Technology, Energy and the Environment (ENEA), the
Government of Umbria Region and other Partners. For the organization of this
Seminar, GLIS has been supported by the Task Group 5 on Seismic Isolation of
Structures (TG5) of the European Association for Earthquake Engineering (EAEE).
Co-organizers are at present ENEA, the European and International Associations
for the Control of Structures (EACS and IASC), the Joint
Research Center at Ispra (JRC) of the European Commission (EC), the Faculty of
Architecture of the University of Ferrara and that of Engineering of the
University of Perugia, the Orders of Architects and Engineers of Perugia and
Terni Provinces (those located in Umbria) and the Italian National Seismic
Survey (SSN), together with other Institutions from several countries (Armenia,
Austria, Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Czech Republic, France, Germany,
Greece, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, P.R. China, Portugal,
Russia, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the USA).
The aim of the Seminar is the further strengthening of
already established good basis for international collaboration for research,
transfer of technology and information, and implementation in practice of base
seismic isolation, passive energy dissipation, hydraulic coupling and shape
memory alloys, as well as dissemination of information among the population in
seismic prone countries to promote implementation of base isolation in
retrofitting or new construction of housing.
2. SCOPE
The 7th Seminar is being organized based on the increasing
success of the previous ones and according to the recommendations made by
participants in the Closing Panel of the last Seminar at Cheju, Korea, 1999. It
will provide again an opportunity for the exchange of updated, detailed
information concerning the state-of-the-art on the development and applications
of the previously mentioned innovative anti-seismic techniques.
Similar to the previous events, topics
covered by the Assisi Seminar will be base and floor isolation, passive energy
dissipation and provisional hydraulic coupling. In addition, as at Cheju, the
development and applications of active, semi-active and hybrid control of
seismic and non-seismic vibrations and the critical issues concerning the
application of innovative anti-seismic techniques in low and moderate seismic
areas will be dealt with.
With regard to the passive
control techniques, particular attention will be devoted to the following
issues, whose importance was identified at Cheju:
-
Extension of retrofit using the innovative anti-seismic techniques;
-
Improvement of studies concerning innovative systems applicable to
cultural heritage;
-
Improvement of knowledge and development of systems for vertical
isolation;
-
Promotion of more applications to hospitals and chemical plants and
components;
-
Wide extension of application from strategic to apartment buildings;
-
Performance of adequate monitoring;
-
Improvement of knowledge on seismic input, in particular for near-field
earthquakes (how correct is this point was confirmed later by the 1999
earthquake in Turkey);
-
Improvement of
studies concerning some reliability and uncertainty issues which have not been
yet fully analyzed (including scale effects for qualification tests, the
behavior of the anti-seismic devices at earthquake levels exceeding the design
value and failure modes, at extremely violent beyond design earthquakes, of
structures provided with the anti-seismic systems);
-
Consideration of other sources of vibrations which may damage or weaken
structures, for instance, traffic.
-
Comparison of design rules and guidelines applicable in the different
countries;
-
Issues related to the applications in the low and moderate seismicity
areas.
To this aim, differently from previous
seminars, after those containing general lectures on state-of-the-art on
application and R&D, specific Oral Sessions will be devoted to lectures on
the different kinds of structures of interest for application of the innovative
anti-seismic techniques (namely: bridges and viaducts; strategic and important
buildings such as hospitals emergency management centers and schools; regular
apartment buildings; cultural heritage; and high risk nuclear and chemical
plants). The main new ongoing R&D projects will also be presented in the
Oral Sessions, while more specific but important topics concerning R&D and
single applications will be presented in the Poster Session. As suggested at
Cheju, invited lectures and contributed papers on applications shall containing
sufficiently detailed reference to seismic input, the codes used and problems
faced in using them, as well as cost evaluations.
In addition, the proposal
made at Cheju, to develop international design guidelines for structures
provided with the innovative anti-seismic systems (which also explain such
systems correctly and leave official codes out of consideration) will be
further discussed and again as suggested at Cheju, a volume collecting the
English translations of design rules and guidelines made available to the
organizers will be distributed to the participants in the Seminar as a draft
and may be published after some months.
Finally,
it is worthwhile stressing that the collaborations established for the
organization of the Seminar with the Regional Government of Umbria and the
local Orders of Architects should ensure the larger participation of
governmental officials and designers, with respect to previous seminars, which
had been augured at Cheju.
3. GENERAL REMARKS ON THE PROGRAM
The Seminar will last three and a half days, starting in the afternoon of Tuesday,
October 2, 2001, at 3:30 p.m.
Contacts are in advanced progress with the
IAEA to check the feasibility of organizing the Seminar in conjunction with the
Final Meeting of the Research
Coordinated Program (CRP) of the IAEA on Intercomparison of Analysis Methods
for Predicting the Behaviour of Seismically Isolated Nuclear Structures. In such a meeting the Final Report of such a CRP, as prepared by its
Technical Secretary, should be approved for publication by the Representatives
of the participating countries, after being examined and if necessary, updated
based on the results of the Seminar. The aforesaid meeting, restricted to the Representatives
of the countries participating in the
CRP, should be held in the morning on Saturday, October 6, 2001.
At any rate, a Meeting of Task Group 5 of the EAEE
will take place in such a day, which will be opened to all European
participants who are interested to join the Task Group and non-European
observers, as well. In addition, a Meeting
of Subcommittee (SC) 1 of Technical Committee (TC) 167 on Anti-Seismic
Devices of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) will take place in the morning of October 2,
2001; this meeting will be restricted to the members of CEN TC 167 /SC 1.
The Seminar consists of Oral Sessions, Poster Presentations and
the International Exhibition. It should be followed by Technical Visits: in particular, the feasibility of visits to the Basilica
Superiore di San Francesco in Assisi on Saturday, October 6, 2001, is been
checked by the organizers.
The
Oral Program
will consist of invited lectures presented or co-authored by experts from the
countries and international Institutions that are the most involved in the
development and applications of the new techniques, namely: Armenia, Austria,
Belgium, Chile, Chinese Taipei, the EC, EACS, France, Germany, Greece, IAEA, IASC, India, Japan, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Portugal, the P. R. China, the Russian
Federation, Spain, Thailand, the United Kingdom and the USA. As detailed in
Sect. 2, presented in such lectures will be the state-of-the-art of
applications and designs in both the civil and the industrial fields, overviews
on the ongoing R&D projects and future programs, and observations (if any)
of behaviors of structures provided with the innovative systems in actual
earthquakes occurred after the last Seminar at Cheju, Korea in 1999, as well as
the progress in the development of codes and standards, design rules, seismic
input for structures, and cost evaluation. New development of active,
semi-active and hybrid control techniques for seismic and non-seismic
vibrations and new applications of such techniques, as well as key issues in
the application of innovative anti-seismic techniques in low and moderate
seismic regions will also be addressed.
The
last part of the Oral Program will be a Closing
Panel, followed by Closing
Remarks, where experts from the most seismic areas and
international Institutions will draw conclusions based on the results of the
Seminar works and will make recommendations for future activities, including
whether the Seminar shall continue in 2003, and if yes, whether connected to
the SMiRT Conference to be held at Prague or not, and where it may be
organized: among others, the possibility of holding the 2003 8th
Seminar in Vienna (Austria) or Yeravan (Armenia) will be considered. To this
aim, it is noted that the American University of Armenia already officially
confirmed its proposal to organize the 8th Seminar in Yeravan in 2003.
In
the Closing Panel, decisions will also be taken on the foundation and
objectives of the International Association of Seismic
Isolation, which had been recommended in previous
Seminars: this Association may group National Associations or groups of them
like the Japanese JSSI, the Chinese
Committee of Seismic Control of Structures, the Italian GLIS, etc.
Poster
Presentations and the International
Exhibition, organized in parallel to the Oral Sessions,
will last the whole Seminar duration. Poster
Presentations will concern invited and selected contributed technical
papers dealing with specific items of particular interest for the Seminar,
such as new R&D on specific topics and single important applications.
Poster presentations of design rules applicable in the single countries,
which are part of the documents to be published in the already mentioned
volume, are also particularly welcome, in order to allow for a first discussion
on this topic among the participants. In the International Exhibition
displayed will be the general activities
and products of research centers, industrial companies and other
Institutions. The International Exhibition will be opened to the public,
during at least one day.

11. LOCATION OF THE SEMINAR AND EXHIBITION
The Seminar and
International Exhibition will take place at the Grand
Hotel Assisi, Via Fratelli Canonichetti, 06081 Assisi (Perugia)
(phone: +30-07581501, fax: +39-075-8150777, e-mail: info@grandhotelassisi.com), a
modern very peaceful and fancy four stars hotel located in the environs of the
city (about 30 minutes by foot from the center), with a marvelous view on the
hills, provided with excellent conference rooms and spaces for the exhibition
and poster presentations. Information on the Grand Hotel Assisi may be found on
Internet at the address www.grandhotelassisi.com
and will be also made available at the GLIS address.
Assisi, a very nice ancient and well known city of Umbria Region, not
very far from Rome (where the 5th World Congress on Joints, Bearings
and Seismic Systems for Concrete Structures) will be held the week after the
Seminar) and close to Perugia, was selected as the site of the Seminar not only
for its beauty, but also because it suffered severe damage during the 1997 Marche and Umbria earthquake (the case of
the Basilica of St. Francis is the best known, but not the only one) and
because at both Assisi and other sites of Umbria and the adjacent Marche
Region, some very important applications of the innovative anti-seismic
techniques were recently completed, or are in progress or planned.
Although Umbran in origin, Assisi was influenced by the nearby Etruscan
settlements. Under the name Asisium, it became a flourishing Roman
municipality. At the beginning of the 3rd century A.D., the martyr Rufino, the
first bishop of Assisi, introduced the Christian faith. After the fall of the
Roman Empire, Assisi was razed by Totila and the Goths (545 A.D.), recaptured
by the Byzantines, conquered by the Lombards. Subject for a considerable period
to the Duchy of Spoleto, it flourished again during the 11th and 12th centuries
with the first experiments as an independent township, but soon it was troubled
by wars. Subdued by Barbarossa, it was here that Federico II was educated. St.
Francis and St. Claire were born here during this period (the former in 1181 or
1182, the latter in 1193 or 1194).
Besides imperial and papal dominion, Assisi was subject at various
times to the Perugians, the Viscontis, the Montefeltros, the condottiere
Braccio Fortebraccio, and the Sforzas. It was torn by feuds between the Upper
and Lower parts of the town (Parte de Sopra and Parte de Sotto). From the 16th
century to 1860, except for the brief Napoleonic period, it was part of the
Papal States.
It is noted that the Seminar will be held in
particularly attractive dates: in fact, October 4 is
the feast of San Francis, who is the Patron of Italy.
The International Exhibition will be held at the Grand Hotel Assisi, together with the Poster Session, during the whole period of the Seminar. According to Form D (which also contains information on booth sizes and payment procedures) the cost for the participation of research centers, industrial companies, etc., is at least 2,000 Euro per booth and at least 3,000 Euro per booth to be considered as a sponsor of the Seminar.

The feasibility of technical visits to the Basilica
Superiore di San Francesco in Assisi on Saturday, October 6, is being checked
by the organizers. These visits will also be opened to companions. Participants
will be subdivided into groups, in order to allow for visiting parts of the
Basilica (bell tower, space above the vaults where special reinforcement and
anti-seismic systems have been installed, etc.), which are accessible to a
limited number of people.
The feasibility of
further technical visits is also being checked by the organizers. Updated
information will be provided on Internet as soon as possible.
Participants will be
asked in Forms A, B and C to anticipate their interest in such visits.
16. EXPECTED CLIMATE CONDITIONS
Temperature at
the beginning of October is usually still mild in Umbria (from 12 oC
to 19 oC) and weather is usually still rather nice.
17. COMPANIONS, COMPANION PROGRAM & SOCIAL EVENTS
For
organization reasons, the participants are kindly requested to let the Seminar
Secretariat and C.S.C. Srl know the number of their companions (persons not
attending the Seminar).
Social
events are being organized: in particular, in addition to the characteristic
dinner (which will be offered by the Organizing Committee and has been directly
organized by this Committee), a Companion Program has been organized by C.S.C. Srl., which shall be directly contacted by the interested
participants for all information and is fully responsible for it.
In the framework of
the aforesaid
Companion Program, the following sightseeing tours, which will be at the costs of
the participants, will
take place if a sufficiently large number of participants is interested in it (see Forms A, B, C). Advance payment of the
requested sightseeing tours to C.S.C. Srl is required (see Form C). Late or
on-site joining these tours will be possible only in the case of availability.
Itinerary A:
Wednesday, October 3. Guided tour of Assisi, an ideal, contemplative,
serene place rich in spirituality overlooked by the Basilica of St. Francis,
where participants will admire masterpieces by Simone Martini, Cimabue, Giotto,
the greatest painters of the 13th and 14th centuries.
Lunch will be served at La Stalla, famous
for its genuine and country cousine. In the afternoon the participants will
be taken by bus to Deruta, a little village worldwide famous for its
crafts shops of ceramics. Evening return to Grand Hotel Assisi.
Itinerary B: Thursday, October 4. A shopping day in Solomeo and
Corciano, two little villages where the most prestigious cachemire firms
sell directly their items. The participants will be gifted with discount cards
to buy in them. Part of the day will be dedicated to the visit of the two
little villages.
Despite the radical changes that have occurred in the valley, the historical center of Corciano has preserved its character as a small medieval town, completely surrounded by its 1 km long city wall.
Walking along
the wall, one can enjoy a view which extends from Amiata to Peglia, to Todi and
from the hills of Trasimeno lake to Mount Tezio.
Lunch will take place at Locanda Solomeo, a very charming country house.
Evening return to the Grand
Hotel Assisi.
Itinerary C: Friday 5th October. Guided tour of Montefalco and Bevagna, two incredible jewels of Umbria.
Montefalco is situated on a high hill and from its position a
breathtaking panorama can be admired. It is nicknamed The balcony of Umbria.
The Museum and former church of St. Francis (14th cent.) contain
valuable frescos by Benozzo Gozzoli and works by Perugino, Antoniazzo Romano
and others.
The textile
handcraft industry is a local specialty; participants will have some spare time
to admire and buy handwoven cloths in linen and cotton.
After visiting the museum of St. Francis it is a worth living
experience to walk along the old and narrow streets of Montefalco; enchanted
landscapes follow one another, with unexpected views of the valley.
and dont forget to taste a glass of Sagrantino wine !
Lunch will be served at Villa Pambuffetti, a wonderful villa surrounded by a park.
The predominant look of Bevagna is still that of a medieval city where
the handcraft tradition is still alive in the little shops that open onto
fascinating narrow streets.
In Bevagna, in the upper part of the town remains of a roman temple, a
thermal water building (2nd cent. B.C.) and a theatre can be
admired.
The medieval square, in the heart of the city, built in the XII and XIII
centuries, is an harmonious synthesis of municipal and ecclesiastic power.
Evening return to the Grand Hotel.
