In recent years, thanks to the simple and yet efficient design, Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) accelerometers have proven offer a suitable solution for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) in civil engineering applications. Such devices are typically characterised by high portability durability, as well limited cost, hence resulting ideal tools applications buildings infrastructure. this paper, original self-made MEMS sensor prototypes presented validated on basis of preliminary...
Given a series of intrinsic features structural glass systems (i.e., material properties, type restraints, operational conditions, etc.), special care should be spent at the design stage, to ensure appropriate fail-safe requirements, but also in service life these innovative building components and assemblies. In this paper, dynamic characterization simple monolithic elements is presented, based on non-destructive laboratory experiments Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) techniques, including...
Masonry structures are notoriously vulnerable to horizontal actions caused by earthquakes. Given the high seismicity of European region, and that building stock comprises a lot masonry buildings, knowledge about their structural response seismic excitation is particularly important, but at same time difficult determine, due heterogenous nature materials and/or constructional techniques in use. An additional issue represented current methods for mechanical properties assessment, do not...
The increasing use of innovative materials in blast- and impact-resistant structures underscores the demand for robust simulation design methods. Concrete, especially Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC), has emerged as a key player this domain. present study delves into damage investigation dynamic response assessment blast loaded UHPFRC panels with optimized mixture (microsilica content, water curing conditions, fibre proportions). so-assembled material is calibrated...
In this study, a multi-objective Genetic Algorithm (GA) optimization procedure is proposed for the seismic retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete (RC) building frames via Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) jackets. The problem solved numerically efficient but accurate Finite-Element (FE) models able to take into account strengthening and ductility increase contribution given FRP jacketing configuration. Based on reference RC frame case an approach aimed maximize minimize volume/cost proposed, by...
The consistent architectural transparency demand in buildings is highly promoting the structural use of glass, combination or to replace load‐bearing components made traditional constructional materials. Despite its huge application facades, roofs, envelopes, frame components, however, glass still represents a rather innovative and not well‐known material, requiring specific design conceptsm further extended studies, toward fulfillme nt safe requirements. A key role systems assemblies...
Load-bearing laminated glass (LG) elements take the form of simple members in buildings (i.e., columns, beams, and plates) or realize stand-alone assemblies, where other traditional constructional materials can interact. Among several relevant aspects, dynamic response LG structures requires dedicated methods analysis, towards fulfilment safe design purposes. A combination multiple aspects must be taken into account for calculations even when compared to static conditions, first all...
Many of modern life activities involve the risk fire, explosions, and impacts. In addition, natural extreme events are becoming more common. Thus, robustness, ability to avoid disproportionate collapse due an initial damage, resilience, adapt recover from effects changing external conditions, represent two important characteristics current structures infrastructures. Their definitions reviewed in this paper with aim sorting describing different approaches proposed literature international...
For engineering applications, human comfort in the built environment depends on several objective aspects that can be mathematically controlled and limited to reference performance indicators. Typical examples include structural, energy thermal issues, others. Human reactions, however, are also sensitive a multitude of associated with design concepts so-called “emotional architecture”, through which subjective feelings, nervous states emotions end-users evoked by constructional details. The...
