Abstract: The regeneration of abandoned buildings and industrial areas is extremely topical due to its significant effects on socio-economic issues, urban planning and environmental protection. This contribution presents a model for the reuse of abandoned tanneries. The model considers issues regarding the buildings and their urban environment based on an integrated multidisciplinary approach. In particular, the study is divided into the following phases: compatibility between the choices and urban policies; analysis of the potential conversion of the tannery; assessment of compliance with technical standards (structural safety, fire safety, elimination of architectural barriers, energy efficiency); definition of intervention criteria. The tannery district of the City of Solofra in the Campania region of Italy was chosen to calculate the parameters of the model.

Abstract: A seismic design procedure is developed to enable design of concrete wall buildings in order to achieve a specified acceptable level of damages under the designed earthquake. The practice shows the simplicity of procedures based on direct displacement based design method in comparison with force-based design method. In order to explain the differences between these two methods we demonstrated their application in wall buildings of four, eight and twelve multi storey buildings. The results obtained are showing significant differences, thus we recommended one of these two methods.
