Wavelet technique and FEA for modal identification in damaged URM shear walls

In existing masonry buildings, the structural capacity with respect to horizontal actions is due to the in-plane response of shear walls, usually evaluated in terms of effective stiffness and drift capacity. The objective of this work is to provide first results to the damage sensitivity in diagonal cracking of URM shear walls and a study methodology based on vibration tests to assess the structural health of existing masonry buildings. The state of pre-existing discontinuities caused by pre...

La scuola ipogea Hannah Arendt di Bolzano, quando l'ampliamento è condotto sottoterra

Mater artium necessitas, ovverosia la necessità aguzza l’ingegno: se preferite, Notwendigkeit ist die Mutter der Erfindung, come ugualmente si dice nella bilingue Bolzano. Qui, nel cuore del centro storico, dopo aver attentamente valutato i pro e contro di un suo trasferimento (non trascurabile esempio di risparmio del territorio), è stata presa la decisione di ingrandire la scuola per le professioni sociali Hannah Arendt installata entro una parte dell’antichissima area del Convento dei Capp...

Accessibility potential of long-distance Mobility-as-a-Service

Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) integrates multiple transportation modes into a unified, on-demand mobility service tailored to customer preferences and needs. While increasingly explored for short distances and urban settings, there is still a limited academic debate about its applicability for long-distance travels. This contribution examines the potential of long-distance MaaS for long-distance trips and systematic travellers, by assessing its accessibility potential and comparing it to the s...
