An innovative model to estimate the accessibility of a destination by public transport

Accessibility is a valuable indicator for assessing the effectiveness of a transport network. Nevertheless, its analysis can lead to very heterogeneous results depending on the method adopted, thus still struggling to be considered by policy makers and in planning processes. This article contributes to the development of an accessibility analysis as a planning tool, by proposing an alternative model to estimate the relative accessibility of a destination by public transport (PT). Indeed, PT i...

Aguana Cell: Celle geobatteriche per le barene veneziane = Aguana Cell: Geobacterial Cells for the Venetian saltmarsh

Il presente articolo espone gli esiti di una osservazione e sperimentazione sui geobatteri solforiduttori presenti nelle zone delle barene della laguna di Venezia e della conseguente ipotesi di applicazione progettuale con l’obiettivo di soddisfare un triplice bisogno: offrire un piccolo, ma efficace supporto alla popolazione che attraversa o permane in questa zona della laguna; supportare l’equilibrata presenza di questi batteri utili alla purificazione dell’acqua; contribuire a preservare e...

Nonlinear modelling of the seismic response of masonry structures: Calibration strategies

In this paper, a simple and practitioners-friendly calibration strategy to consistently link target panel-scale mechanical properties (that can be found in national standards) to model material-scale mechanical properties is presented. Simple masonry panel geometries, with various boundary conditions, are utilized to test numerical models and calibrate their mechanical properties. The calibration is successfully conducted through five different numerical models (most of them available in comm...
