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 7 th 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

4

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

5

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.

4. PROCEEDINGS, ABSTRACT VOLUME, VOLUME ON DESIGN RULES

All invited lectures presented in the Oral Sessions and invited or contributed papers presented as Posters (those contributed after acceptance of the International Technical-Scientific Committee) will be published in the Seminar Proceedings (whether on printed volumes or compact disk - CD - will be decided by the organizers at a later date), with the exception of the English translations of design guidelines, which will be collected in a specific volume, to be published after the Seminar, if all contributors agree and if a suitable editor is identified.

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: [email protected]), 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

9

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 5 th

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. These amounts shall be paid by non-Italian participants (with the exception of EC Centers) as contributions to the Seminar. Those who are interested in the exhibition are advised to directly contact the Seminar Responsible for External Relations (Dr. G.-B. Arato, e-mail: [email protected]). Reservation requests for exhibition booths are accepted until August 31, 2001, on a first-come, first-served basis, compatibly with the available room. Exhibitors will receive information on the sizes of posters by June 15, 2001.

12. REGISTRATION

15. TECHNICAL VISITS

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

11

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 craftsshops 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.

12

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 (14 th 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 don’t 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.

For the full paper manuscript, the ABSTRACT shall be followed by text subdivided into sections.

References shall be cited in the text by indicating the last name of the first author followed by the year, for instance, by citing these instructions, as: Martelli et al., 2001. Should you have more than one paper to be cited as mentioned, place letters a,b, ... after the year to distinguish references (for instance: Martelli et al., 2001a).

Figures and tables shall be legible and well reproducible in the printing process of the proceedings (reduction to 80%). Captions shall be written directly beneath figures and tables and shall be numbered (example: Fig. 1, Tab. 1).

Figures and tables shall be set possibly close to the positions where they are cited.

4. HEADINGS

Headings shall be written in capital letters and boldface types, right against the left side or your text, and shall be numbered as indicated here. Leave two lines space before headings and one after them. Do not indent the first line after headings, subheadings and sub-subheadings. First lines of the other text paragraphs should be indented as indicated here. Do not leave blank lines between paragraphs.

4.1 Subheadings

Subheadings shall be written in lower-case letters and boldface types, right against the left side or your text, and shall be numbered as indicated here. Leave one line space before and after subheadings. Use the above mentioned rules for indentation.
