Key Achievements
The book Seismic design and retrofit of bridges (co-authored with M.J.N.
Priestley and F. Seible, John Wiley and Sons, 1996)
has been translated into Chinese and Japanese and sold in more than 10,000
copies, becoming the world reference text on the subject
The European
School for Advanced Studies in Reduction of Seismic Risk (ROSE School, www.roseschool.it,
founded in the year 2000) is now counting on more than 50 graduate students
in earthquake engineering and engineering seismology, with applications from
more than 60 different countries, therefore becoming one of the world
recognized centre of excellence in the field
The European Centre for Research and Training in Earthquake Engineering
(Eucentre, www.eucentre.it, founded in the year
2003) is now endowed with the most powerful testing system in Europe, with a
5.4 x 7.0 m shake table (payload 30 t, amax 1.8 g
at full load, vmax 1.5 m/s, dmax
1 m) and a tri – dimensional large capacity reaction system
The introduction of a new
seismic code in Italy, after 30 year without significant innovation, has been
deeply innovating the profession, with more than 25,000 engineers following
courses over the past two years, and a consequent real reduction of the
seismic risk, due to the improved professional competence
G.M. Calvi
has been one, among many, of the proposers and developers of the displacement
– based design philosophy for seismic design of structures, which is
increasing in consensus and popularity and may become a kind of standard in the near future
G.M. Calvi
has participated, as designer, consultant or checker in some world – famous
construction challenge, such as the assessment, repair and retrofit of the Bolu viaduct after the 1999 Duzce
earthquake in Turkey and the design and construction of the Rion – Antirion cable stayed
bridge in Greece
