Abstract
Low-rise buildings are used for industrial and commercial
activities. Most of these buildings are built by
prefabricated-concrete elements characterised by low
efficiency of connections and a lower ductility
performance when subjected to earthquake loading. The
proposal aim is defining prefabricated steel solutions
for single-storey and low-rise buildings in
earthquake-prone areas for industrial and commercial
activities. The selection of structural solutions is
performed via statistical analyses in different European
countries about solutions requested by the market.
Industrial and commercial solutions are optimised in
terms of structural performance and of construction costs
and two of those (technologically advance and
high-performing) are experimentally tested. The solution
selected for commercial activities is a dissipative
device working in series with prefabricated RC-Wall and
pendulum steel-structure. The solution selected for
industrial activities is a warehousing system using
cold-formed profiles acting compositely with ribbed steel
sheeting as girder web.
