Conveners
Pietro Meriggi, Roma Tre University
Fabio Tosti, University of West London
Luca Bianchini Ciampoli, Roma Tre University
Vittorio Paris, University of Bergamo

Scope and Motivation
The special session aims to showcase the potential of advanced survey tools for the structural assessment of ancient constructions. The challenges and opportunities of combining digital survey, non-destructive testing and structural monitoring to develop multiple multi-survey approaches for the preservation of cultural heritage will be discussed.

Main Topics
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
– Non-destructive testing (NDT)
– Structural health monitoring (SHM) with conventional and innovative systems
– Remote Sensing for large-scale monitoring and evaluation
– Immersive technologies for cultural heritage management
– Image-processing techniques for geometry identification and structural monitoring
– Digital surveys for structural model generation
– Analytical, graphical, and numerical analysis
– Structural conservation and restoration interventions
– Integration of multi-survey data for structural analysis
– Case studies demonstrating the practical applications of multi-survey approaches
– Review papers in related research areas will also be considered.

🚀 Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to be at the forefront of innovative approaches to heritage preservation and structural analysis. Submit your abstracts (LINK) and mark your calendars for MetroArchaeo2024! 🚀

Prof. Gianmarco de Felice and prof. Stefano De Santis listed in Stanford World’s top 2% most influential scientists

 

Stanford University’s annual report on the scientific impact of global researchers was recently published by Elsevier.
The ranking lists the 2% of scientists worldwide who have the greatest impact in their field of research, and is the result of a selection process that looked at the profiles of more than 9 million researchers surveyed on Scopus, the most important database for scientific publications.
The 2022 ranking includes 37 faculty members from Roma Tre University, 8 of which are serving in the Department of Civil, Computer and Aeronautcal Engineering. Amongst them, this relevant recognition was received by prof. Gianmarco de Felice and prof. Stefano De Santis of the Structures Research Group.

Website of the Research Project “RIPARA – Integrated systems for the seismic retrofitting of architectural heritage” Regione Lazio 2022-2023

 

The Website of the Research Project “RIPARA – Integrated systems for the seismic retrofitting of architectural heritage” Regione Lazio 2021-2023 is on-line.

The project aims to develop an innovative technology for the seismic protection of historic buildings, using a strengthening system with micro-strands or thin bands of stainless steel. It includes experimental activities, field surveys with innovative detection technologies, system prototyping, and validation through seismic tests on the shake table. Computational tools will be developed for advanced structural modeling and expeditious approaches for the ranking/planning of interventions.

The consortium includes Roma Tre University (Coordinator), Sapienza University of Rome, the University of Cassino and Southern Lazio, ENEA, and Edil Cam Sistemi srl (industrial partner)
