Categoria: Ingegneria strutturale

La progettazione sismica non riguarda solo edifici civili. Molte delle opere più vulnerabili e strategiche rientrano nella categoria delle strutture speciali: ponti, serbatoi, torri, impianti industriali. La seconda generazione dell’EC8 dedica maggiore attenzione a questi casi. !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)}; if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version=’2.0′; n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,’script’, ‘https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js’); fbq(‘init’, ‘1533066563892252’); fbq(‘track’, ‘PageView’); !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n; n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version=’2.0′;n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,’script’,’https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js’); !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)…

Il tema della sicurezza sismica delle grandi reti di trasporto rappresenta una delle sfide più complesse per l’ingegneria strutturale contemporanea. In occasione del convegno ANIDIS 2025, RFI (Rete Ferroviaria Italiana) ha tracciato il bilancio di un monumentale piano di assessment e mitigazione del rischio. !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)}; if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version=’2.0′; n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,’script’, ‘https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbevents.js’); fbq(‘init’, ‘1533066563892252’);…

Discussions around artificial intelligence use in structural engineering practice have largely centered on how engineering work can be reorganized around automation, workflow optimization, and decomposable tasks—raising deeper questions about the role of professional judgment in that transition. These discussions…

Practicing structural engineers working in the rehabilitation and restoration of existing buildings frequently encounter disagreements regarding the scope of required repairs. These disagreements most often arise between the Engineer of Record (EOR) responsible for design and permitting, and consulting…
