Experimental Investigation for Degradation Analysis of an RC Italian Viaduct and Retrofitting Design
The degradation state of RC bridge structures is one of the most important and difficult aspects to be interpreted. For these structures, structural analysis using FEM requires a reliable definition o…
On distributed strains in a CFA pile via DFOSs measurements and numerical analysis
Fibre Optic Sensors (FOSs) offer unprecedented possibilities for the monitoring of engineering structures, such as foundation systems. Notably, the type of FOSs known as Distributed Fibre Optic Sensor…
A new monitoring system for repair and maintenance planning of masonry and concrete bridges. The I-E method
The recent collapse on 14/08/2008 of the Morandi bridge in Genoa highlighted the need for continuous monitoring and restoration of strategic works, with reference also to the new DM 2018, to European …
Surface and Curves: A Dialogue Between Nature and Structural Analysis
The Geometry and Graphics have a fundamental role in the progress of the structural Engineering and buildings. The mission of modern representation for structural Engineering was basically dedicated t…
SEISMIC ASSESSMENT OF A VENETIAN BELL TOWER TAKING INTO ACCOUNT SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION
The paper gives a preliminary insight into the seismic vulnerability of bell towers, discussing a real case study, namely a masonry tower built in XIX century and located in the Province of Venice (It…
Distributed strain measurements in a CFA pile using high spatial resolution fibre optic sensors
Static load tests on fully instrumented piles are a useful tool for optimizing the design of pile foundations. By measuring the change in strain along a test pile it is possible to estimate pile-soil …
Seismic performance evaluation of an historical concrete deck arch bridge using survey and drawing of the damages, in situ tests, dynamic identification and pushover analysis
The paper describes the performance evaluation of a retrofit historical multi-span (RC) deck arch bridge analyzed with in situ tests, dynamic identification and FEM analysis. The peculiarity of this c…

Passive Methods for the Fast Seismic Characterization of Structures: The Case of Silea Bridge
This paper provides useful information about a passive method, usually applied on soils, for defining the frequencies of most infrastructures. Today, the eigen-frequency determination is one of the mo…
Testing of “Global Young’s Modulus E” on a rehabilitated masonry bell tower in Venice
This paper shows the effectiveness of the techniques chosen for the rehabilitation of the historic “Sant’Andrea” masonry bell-tower in Venice. The achieved rehabilitation projects based on the indenti…
Application of an Integrated Seismic Isolation System in Bridge Design: Three Viaducts in Venice, Italy
In Europe, composite steel-concrete structures represent the most common construction technique for bridges of small to medium spans. Seismic isolation provided by hysteretic dampers, such as fluid vi…
Structural behavior of the old masonry bridge in the Gulf of Castellammare
Masonry arch bridges represent a very significant part of the heritage of road and railway artworks all over the word and especially in the Mediterranean area, both in terms of: numbers; reduced envir…
In-situ NDT testing procedure as an integral part of failure analysis of historical masonry arch bridges
A nineteenth-century masonry arch bridge was analyzed as an illustrative example to explain the role of in-situ test campaigns in failure analysis and retrofit design. Test results were studied to fin…
Retrofitting of the Historic Castagnara Bridge in Padua, Italy, with Fibre Reinforced Plastic Elements
Masonry arch bridges are typically historical infrastructures that were often not designed to withstand the heavy truck traffic that they are currently carrying and therefore must be replaced by moder…
Experimental analysis of the “Saint Andrea” Masonry Bell Tower in Venice. A new method for the determination of “Tower Global Young’s Modulus E”
In this paper an 1800’s masonry tower is analyzed, in order to assess its structural behavior and the frequency of vibrations to the structure. This paper details the experimental analyses performed t…
Retrofit with FRP Elements and Seismic Performance Assessment of the Historic “Castagnara” Bridge in Padua, Italy
Many times, the masonry arch bridges were not designed to withstand the heavy truck traffic that they are currently carrying, and they are therefore replaced by modern concrete or steel bridges. This …
“Dolcèviaduct”: Pier seismic analysis with the Italian code and Euro-Codes
Damages due to seismic action on bridges are a direct consequence of the elastic approach of their design. The introduction of the new seismic norm in Italy and in the world have prescribed a ductile …
Retrofitting a Short Span Bridge with a Semi-Integral Abutment Bridge: The Treviso Bridge
There are a number of bridges which are designed according to codes without seismic provisions being considered. Such bridges are mostly found deficient and may need seismic retrofitting. Bridges that…
