New generations of green concretes are often consuming large amounts industrial waste, as recycled or manufactured aggregates and alternative binders substituting ordinary Portland cement. Among the materials that may be used in civil engineering works, construction demolition waste (C&DW), fly ashes, slags municipal solid incinerator bottom ashes (MSWI BA) those most diffused, but at same, they suffer due to a variability their properties. However, market increasingly asks for new...
Assessment of historical buildings is now a matter fundamental importance in civil engineering and researchers have been long working to find the best investigation strategies trying limit their invasiveness as much possible. Among other techniques, modal characterization (or dynamic identification) has gaining popularity due its non-destructiveness for ability capture behavior real structure. Combined with more traditional non-destructive-tests (NDTs) or semi-destructive-tests (SDTs),...
<p>The use of structural health monitoring for a reliable characterization modal properties is becoming common solution when dealing with the safety assessment existing bridges, in order to capture samples experimental response “real structure”. Such non-destructive test approach has also advantage be able potential criticalities that can change real behavior structure respect “as-built” configuration. The present work illustrates results measurements carried out on Carbonifera...
