Yesterday was an absolute blast as we welcomed the incredible team from RadioTre Scienza to our Material Strength Lab at UNICA! It was a pleasure to share insights about two groundbreaking projects close to our hearts: the UniCa Sailing Team Project: https://unicasailingteam.it/ and the #SARCOS Project: https://projectsarcos.it/
Exciting opportunity alert! Chiara Bedon, Andrea Lucherini and me are editing a new book on Fire Safety Engineering - Measures, Policies, and Applications, and we want #YOU to contribute!
We're thrilled to share the findings of our recent work on evaluating the performance of jute fiber nets and composite mortar in natural fiber textile reinforced mortars. This study not only provides an innovative perspective on integrated retrofitting but also a promising solution for constructing safer and more sustainable buildings.
We're thrilled to share a groundbreaking paper titled "Physics-based probabilistic demand model and reliability analysis for reinforced concrete beams under blast loads"
Exciting News! Our paper titled "Structural Identification from Operational Modal Analysis: The Case of Steel Structures" is now available! We're thrilled to introduce our innovative methodology for structural identification using OMA, featured in this paper. By minimizing the disparity between experimental and theoretical eigenfrequencies, through simulated annealing, we've unlocked a powerful tool for enhancing structural knowledge while minimizing any potential impact on the structure itself and its operations.
Road safety is an absolute priority, especially when it comes to highway bridges. Our paper explores how to plan targeted maintenance interventions to ensure infrastructure safety even in the face of earthquakes.
Enhancing energy efficiency and structural capacity are the main objectives of masonry retrofitting. Find out how we achieved a dual positive effect by improving both thermal insulation properties and structural behavior of composite building materials using #jute #fibers. #sustainability always in mind.

About This Paper: Leveraging the deterministic Single-Degree-of-Freedom (SDOF) model founded on Donnell shallow-shell theory, our study advances this model by integrating a novel correction term. This term significantly refines the model's accuracy by compensating for the oversimplifications inherent in the SDOF model. Utilizing Bayesian inference, we meticulously estimate unknown parameters within the correction term and model error. This synthesis not only incorporates predictions from the SDOF model but also aligns them with experimental data and prior information.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of our website for the Steel And Recycled Concrete Slab (SARCOS) project: https://projectsarcos.it/
Le lezioni del corso di “Ingegneria Sismica” per il Corso di Laurea Magistrale in Ingegneria Civile inizieranno lunedì 4 marzo 2024.
