Impiego di dispositivi dissipativi per la riduzione della vulnerabilità di strutture prefabbricate.

The paper focuses on low-cost anti-seismic devices to be installed on precast buildings. The
behavior of 2D precast RC frames equipped with dissipative devices placed at beam-column joints
and at the columns base is studied. The research is aimed at optimize the mechanical parameters of
the devices and to estimate the effectiveness of their insertion at the column base too. The
performances before and after the insertion of the devices are compared also accounting for the
easiness of installation and costs reduction.
