A Lesson from Past Energy Crises [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
open1noAfter dealing with the very recent history of Moore's law in the previous issue of IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine, I will jump far back into the past for this issue, taking the opportunity given by a present-world economic event.

Dynamic investigation on the Mirandola bell tower in post-earthquake scenarios [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
After the seismic events of the 20th and 29th of May 2012 in Emilia (Italy), most of the monumental and historic buildings of the area were severely damaged. In a few structures, partial collapse mechanisms were observed (e.g.

The Structural Use of Recycled Aggregate Concrete for Renovation of Massive External Walls of Czech Fortification

open access: yesBuildings, 2022
The use of recycled aggregate concrete is mainly negatively affected by its poorer mechanical and long-term properties. However, there are few structural applications for which recycled aggregates can be used.

Development of a geological model useful for the study of the natural hazards in urban environments. An example from the eastern sector of Rome (Italy) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Detailed knowledge of the subsoil setting is an extremely important issue for a correct risk reduction policy, especially when dealing with urban areas hosting cultural heritage, which enhance risk conditions even at low geo-hazard levels, as in the case
