Abstract In the aftermath of a seismic event, decision-makers have to decide quickly among alternative management actions with limited knowledge on actual health condition buildings. Each choice entails different direct and indirect consequences. For example, if building sustains low damage in mainshock but people are not evacuated, casualties may occur aftershocks lead structure fail. On other hand, evacuation structurally sound could unnecessary financial losses due business occupancy...
Summary In the aftermath of an earthquake, data acquired by a monitoring system can be used to identify possible damage that occurred in structure using algorithms estimate proper features. this paper, new method is proposed for localization beam‐like structures under seismic excitation. The algorithm, named Interpolation Evolution Method (IEM), based on combination two existing methods: and Curvature Method. Only responses recorded story accelerations are required feature with combined IEM...
Nowadays, the huge production of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is one most strongly felt environmental issues. Consequently, European Union (EU) delivers laws and regulations for better waste management, identifying essential requirements disposal operations characteristics that make hazardous to human health environment. In Italy, define, among other things, sites be classified as “potentially contaminated”. From this perspective, Basilicata region currently Italian regions with highest...
In recent years, structural health monitoring (SHM) has received increasing interest from both research and professional engineering communities. This is due to the limitations related use of traditional methods based on visual inspection for a rapid effective assessment structures infrastructures when compared with great potential offered by newly developed automatic systems. Most these kinds systems allow continuous estimation modal properties that are strictly correlated mechanical...
This work presents the first results obtained by applying in situ and remote-sensing methodologies to monitor Ponte della Musica-Armando Trovajoli located Rome, within activities of WP6 “Structural Health Monitoring Satellite Data” 2019-21 Reluis Project. In particular, use Differential Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Interferometry (DInSAR) measurements provided a spatial map displacement investigated infrastructure corresponding time-series, with aim monitoring deformation phenomena,...
Periodic and exceptional inspections provide information about the condition of bridges to support decisions on maintenance or repair activities needed counteract defects damages efficiently. Inspections are carried out a regular basis after special events. In different states, diverse approaches visual have been developed bridge integrity management. literature, several comparative studies published inspection procedures; however, most them compare very limited number countries due lack...
All over Europe, the management of bridge integrity is carried out primarily through inspections that allow collecting information about condition bridges and support decisions remedial interventions. Different approaches to inspection have been developed among different states. The adoption harmonized regulation standards on at European level would greatly benefit efficiency transport infrastructure. Several comparative studies conducted in literature procedures countries; however, most...
In this paper two methods of damage localization previously proposed by the authors are combined to smooth possible drawbacks and boost advantages each them. The Modal Interpolation Method (IM), recently proposed, is based on a feature defined in terms loss smoothness (that local increases curvature) modal shapes induced reduction stiffness. Herein combination IM with Curvature Evolution Methods (CEM) proposed. CEM use Band-Variable Filter able extract from recorded responses nonlinear...
In the last decades, a number of methodologies for performance based-loss assessment buildings have been proposed and developed.Among those, PEER Performance-Based Earthquake Engineering (PBEE) methodology represents most comprehensive approach providing probabilistic estimates seismic losses.However, those procedures are suitable building-specific evaluations, appearing extremely time-consuming if applied at urban scale.Recently, many authors simplified approaches relating economic losses...
The work consisted in identifying possible effects from heavy metals (HMs) pollution due to waste disposal activities three potentially polluted sites located Basilicata (Italy), where a release of pollutants with values over the thresholds allowed by Italian legislation was detected. potential variations physiological efficiency vegetation have been analyzed through multitemporal processing satellite images. In detail, Landsat 5 Thematic Mapper (TM) and 8 Operational Land Imager (OLI)...
