La Casa Baraccata: Earthquake-Resistant Construction in 18th-Century Calabria
TL;DR: After a series of earthquakes in 1783 destroyed thousands of buildings in Calabria, the Bourbon government which ruled southern Italy introduced a system of construction designed to minimize future damage and to save lives as mentioned in this paper.

The aigio (greece) seismic sequence of june 1995: seismological, strong motion data and effects of the earthquakes on structures
TL;DR: In this paper, an earthquake of moment magnitude M w = 6.4 occurred in the western part of Corinthiakos Gulf, Greece, causing the loss of 26 human lives and inflicting considerable damage mainly in the northern part of Peloponnessus.

Ethical considerations for a better collaboration between architects and structural engineers: design of buildings with reinforced concrete frame systems in earthquake zones
TL;DR: This article provides a platform upon which architects and structural engineers can resolve the value conflicts between them by analysing phases of the structural design of reinforced concrete frame systems in architecture, the criteria of theStructural design for each phase and determining the conflicting values for each criterion.

Innovative Systems for a Sustainable Architecture and Engineering
TL;DR: Results and considerations are presented from a research to point out the most appropriate configurations – taking into account the available innovative protection systems and to develop a methodology for building design based on the study of the main factors which influence the response of buildings to environment actions.
