Slicing Cell Resources: The Case of HTC and MTC Coexistence

In this paper we investigate the allocation of resources to slices on the radio interface of one cell. In particular, we develop a detailed stochastic model of the behaviour of the sliced cell radio access, including most features of the standard access procedures. Our model allows the computation of the throughput achieved by each slice, as well as the distribution of delays for each slice. The availability of a model capable of accurately predicting the performance achieved by services usin...

SIMPLIFIED STRATEGIES OF FLUID VISCOUS DAMPERS’ (FVDs) DESIGN FOR IN-PLANE AND IN ELEVATION IRREGULAR HYSTERETIC HIGH-RISE STRUCTURES

Among the strategies for the optimal design of Fluid Viscous Dampers, there is a procedure based on a simplified approach consisting in considering, as one of the hypotheses, the dynamic response of a structure governed by the first modal shape. The above-mentioned approach is addressed to elastic structure but, more important, also to hysteretic existing buildings and takes, during the design stage, the hysteretic dissipative capacity into account. Moreover, this approach has been validated ...

VULNERABILITY OF MASONRY STRUCTURES UNDER A COMBINATION OF LOADS DUE TO TSUNAMI AND EARTHQUAKE

Tsunamis are among the most catastrophic natural events, characterized by a low probability of occurrence but severe social and economic consequences, including high casualty rates and widespread destruction. Recent events have heightened awareness within the scientific community, revealing that approximately 60% of the coastal cities in the world -including those along the Mediterranean coasts - are at risk of tsunamis. Despite historical records, research on tsunami vulnerability in the Med...
