DCEE 2016 program overview draft 23/09/2016
Abstract: This paper focuses on the different conceptual frameworks that govern the structural problem and provides an insight on the results obtained from structural analysis, towards a sound framework for structural design. The interdisciplinary of many aspects is highlighted, considering the developments on the sustainable development and the architectonic design, and the availability of modern technologies that nowadays are integrated in the structural forms. The paper provides significant concepts and case studies (long span bridges, offshore wind
turbines, high-rise buildings etc.), studied thoroughly in the last 10 years in the Sapienza University of Rome by the research group on structural analysis and design www.francobontempi.org.
Keywords: Structural Engineering, Analysis, Design, Knowledge.
Abstract: In the recent years, natural disasters are recognized to be the cause of considerable human and socioeconomic losses, particularly in modern, infrastructure-dependent societies. For example, the 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan have been one of the most devastating disasters of the past decades. Likewise, the Katrina hurricane in the US east coast in 2005. In this context, the concepts of “structural robustness” and
“resilience of urban areas” and “resilient community”, have gathered the attention of researchers. On top of that, more recently, anti-fragile design came as an evolution of design for resilience (intended as the capacity to recover), or for robustness (a main dimension of resilience, intended as the ability of a structure to withstand events without being damaged to an extent disproportionate to the original cause). This study focuses on a modern approach in disaster resilience - including anti-fragile design and structural robustness - providing insight for a preliminary framework on important modelling aspects.
Keywords: resilience, robustness, antifragility, structural engineering, structural design, urban design.

The purpose of this paper is to present from the scientific point of view the main ideas and the consequent logic which form the basis of the design and of the definition of the performances levels for the Messina Strait Bridge. With the general philosophy of design, one canalizes all the design activities toward specific goals. With the explicit definition of the performances one must reach a delicate balance between the demand for the construction of an appropriate, possibly outstandingly, structure, and the feasibility, both from the engineering and from the economic point of view. Together with the strategy necessary to originate the design of this exceptional bridge, the essential role of the structural analysis supporting the decisional process is enlightened.

L’INVESTIGAZIONE ANTINCENDI:

Lo sviluppo di eventi negativi come i collassi strutturali che mettono a rischio la sicurezza della Società richiede un attento studio al fine di capirne le ragioni e spiegarne lo sviluppo nello spazio e nel tempo, come illustrato schematicamente nella figura sotto riportata e relativa ad un incendio in un edificio alto.
Lo studio di questi eventi negativi è l’oggetto centrale della Ingegneria Forense, che ha anche il compito di attribuire le eventuali responsabilità tecniche ed eventualmente individuare azioni dolose. In tal modo, in termini generali, questa disciplina ha anche la possibilità di indicare nuovi metodi di progetto che comprendano concetti ampi o innovativi come la robustezza strutturale o la resilienza, aumentando la conoscenza complessiva dell’Ingegneria.
Nel presente contributo, nella prima parte, saranno introdotti i punti salienti che riguardano la natura accidentale di eventi come l’incendio, i modelli generali che permettono di inquadrare questi incidenti, i criteri che permettono la ricostruzione degli eventi accidentali, concludendo con alcuni aspetti giuridici.
Nella seconda parte, dopo aver ricordato alcuni aspetti meccanici fondamentali, saranno presentati alcuni casi notevoli, mettendo in evidenza come i concetti prima evidenziati si presentano in concreto.
mi sembra opportuno concludere
osservando in via generale che, relativamente ai metodi
di calcolo e alle normative, si debba evitare di dar loro
importanza eccessiva, per non mettere in ombra la progettazione
vera e propria. La quale ha nel calcolo soltanto una delle
sue fasi, seppure fondamentale, mentre trova in altre questioni
aspetti altrettanto qualificanti: intendo soprattutto la concezione
generale delle strutture; l’armonica distribuzione delle
masse; i particolari costruttivi; l’analisi dei problemi esecutivi e
dei costi; l’esame critico del comportamento generale della
costruzione comprendente anche, e non secondariamente, la
presenza di elementi non strutturali e della parte del terreno
coinvolta dalla struttura. Fatti, questi, che debbono entrare nel
vivo del processo progettuale, divenendo una forza unica e

Dalla valutazione del curriculum del candidato Ciampoli Marcello emerge:
- un’attività di ricerca sufficiente e sufficientemente regolare a cui corrisponde una limitata produzione
scientifica complessiva del candidato con collocazione editoriale di basso impatto;
- una insufficiente responsabilità scientifica per progetti di ricerca internazionali e nazionali;
- una sufficiente attività per quanto riguarda il coordinamento e conduzione di un gruppo di ricerca;
- una limitata attività, valutata nel suo complesso, per quanto riguarda gli incarichi di insegnamento o di
ricerca, la direzione e/o partecipazioni a comitati editoriali di riviste, collane editoriali, enciclopedie e trattati
di riconosciuto prestigio, i risultati ottenuti nel trasferimento tecnologico ed eventuali altri titoli.
La Commissione attribuisce all'unanimità una valutazione complessiva e collegiale NEGATIVA delle pubblicazioni e dei titoli del candidato Ciampoli Marcello.
Il tema della sicurezza, quando si parla di gallerie stradali, assume ancora più importanza, dato che un banale incidente o un guasto di un veicolo possono degenerare in uno scenario che causa un elevato numero di vittime. Ad esempio, il 24 marzo 1999, 39 persone sono rimaste uccise quando un mezzo pesante che trasportava farina e margarina prese fuoco all’interno del Tunnel del Monte Bianco. Nella prima parte dell’articolo vengono spiegate le fasi logiche che un modello messo a disposizione dalla PIARC/OECD, il Quantitative Risk Assessment Model (QRAM) [1-2], segue nel processo di Assegnazione del Rischio, e come esso ricava i valori dei relativi indicatori. Nella seconda parte dell’articolo, invece, viene mostrata un’applicazione di tale modello su una galleria esistente che si trova nel sud Italia, accompagnata da un’analisi di sensitività sui parametri che influenzano maggiormente il livello di rischio.
The DCEE series of workshops explore what it would mean for design to be a discipline within CEE, what it means for design to be a discipline in other areas of engineering, and the implication for interdisciplinary design in cooperation with other fields such as architecture, urban planning, industrial design, product design and more.

Design means to analyze, compare, manage and connect a Large amount of data in order to develop, expand and materialize the starting idea, which was born to solve the initial problem. In this process, the engineer is the bridge of connection between the creative moment and its real implementation. The evolutionary characteristic of the design procedure often requires an iterative approach. It improves the solution step by step by means of different professional figures who act together to obtain the best result.
Indeed, it is never an individual task but a team job in which collaboration is the most powerful key of success.
In this complex reality, the potential of modern technology highlights the needs of a strong background knowledge capable of supporting and developing the engineering sensibility to control the whole design procedure. Actually, its dynamic evolution, constantly pushed by the new science innovations, represents a current challenge for engineering schools. They have to find the most effective way to transmit the necessary skills to nowadays students to let them become the future bridge of connection for new engineering solutions.

Scopo dell'evento è
• illustrare l'identità culturale, e tecnica – di cui il progetto è parte fondante – del SSD Tecnica delle Costruzioni nella didattica,
• evidenziando contemporaneamente le opportunità di collaborazione trasversale con altre discipline,
• con particolare riferimento ai corsi della lauree magistrali o
equivalenti, e livelli di formazione successivi (master e dottorati).
L’incontro ha l’obiettivo di delineare l'identità culturale, scientifica e tecnica della disciplina della Tecnica delle Costruzioni nella didattica, evidenziando contemporaneamente le opportunità di collaborazione trasversale con altre discipline, con particolare riferimento ai corsi della lauree magistrali o equivalenti, e livelli di formazione successivi (master e dottorati).
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in permanent observation of the dynamic behaviour of bridges for longterm
monitoring purpose. This is due not only to the ageing of a lot of structures, but also for dealing with the increasing
complexity of new bridges. The long-term monitoring of bridges produces a huge quantity of data that need to be effectively
processed. For this purpose, there has been a growing interest on the application of soft computing methods. In particular,
this work deals with the applicability of Bayesian neural networks for the identification of damage of a cable-stayed bridge.
The selected structure is a real bridge proposed as benchmark problem by the Asian-Pacific Network of Centers for Research
in Smart Structure Technology (ANCRiSST). They shared data coming from the long-term monitoring of the bridge with the
structural health monitoring community in order to assess the current progress on damage detection and identification
methods with a full-scale example. The data set includes vibration data before and after the bridge was damaged, so they are
useful for testing new approaches for damage detection. In the first part of the paper, the Bayesian neural network model is
discussed; then in the second part, a Bayesian neural network procedure for damage detection has been tested. The proposed
method is able to detect anomalies on the behaviour of the structure, which can be related to the presence of damage. In order
to obtain a confirmation of the obtained results, in the last part of the paper, they are compared with those obtained by using a
traditional approach for vibration-based structural identification.
In recent years, structural integrity monitoring has become increasingly important in structural engineering and construction management. It represents an important tool for the assessment of the dependability of existing complex structural systems as it integrates, in a unified perspective, advanced engineering analyses and experimental data processing. In the first part of this work
the concepts of dependability and structural integrity are
discussed and it is shown that an effective integrity assessment
needs advanced computational methods. For this purpose, soft computing methods have shown to be very useful. In particular, in this work the neural networks model is chosen and successfully improved by applying the Bayesian inference at four hierarchical levels: for training, optimization of the regularization terms, databased model selection, and evaluation of the relative importance of different inputs. In the second part of the article,
Bayesian neural networks are used to formulate a
multilevel strategy for the monitoring of the integrity of long span bridges subjected to environmental actions: in a first level the occurrence of damage is detected; in a following level the specific damaged element is recognized and the intensity of damage is quantified.
This paper deals with the general framework for the development and the maintenance of complex structural systems. In the first part, starting with a semantic analysis of the term ‘structure’, the traditional approach to structural problem solving has been reconsidered. Consequently, a systemic approach for the formulation of the different kinds of direct and inverse problems has been framed, particularly with regards to structural design and
maintenance. The overall design phase is defined with the aid of the performance-based design (PBD) philosophy, emphasizing the concepts of dependability and enlightening the role of structural identification. The second part of the present work analyses structural health monitoring (SHM) in the systemic way previously introduced. Finally, the techniques related to the implementation of the monitoring process are introduced and a synoptic overview of methods and instruments for structural health monitoring is
presented, with particular attention to the ones necessary for structural damage identification.

A numerical approach to the reliability analysis of reinforced and prestressed concrete structures is presented. The problem is formulated in terms of the probabilistic safety factor and the structural reliability is evaluated by Monte
Carlo simulation. The cumulative distribution of the safety factor associated with each limit state is derived and a reliability index is evaluated. The proposed procedure is applied to reliability analysis of an existing prestressed concrete arch bridge.
This paper presents a general approach to the probabilistic prediction of the structural service life and to the maintenance
planning of deteriorating concrete structures. The proposed formulation is based on a novel methodology for the assessment of the time-variant structural performance under the diffusive attack of external aggressive agents. Based on this methodology, Monte Carlo
simulation is used to account for the randomness of the main structural parameters, including material properties, geometrical parameters, area and location of the reinforcement, material diffusivity and damage rates. The time-variant reliability is then computed with respect to proper measures of structural performance. The results of the lifetime durability analysis are finally used to select, among different maintenance scenarios, the most economical rehabilitation strategy leading to a prescribed target value of the structural service life. Two numerical applications, a box-girder bridge deck and a pier of an existing bridge, show the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
This paper presents a novel approach to the problem of durability analysis and lifetime assessment of concrete structures under
the diffusive attack from external aggressive agents. The proposed formulation mainly refers to beams and frames, but it can be easily
extended also to other types of structures. The diffusion process is modeled by using cellular automata. The mechanical damage coupled to diffusion is evaluated by introducing suitable material degradation laws. Since the rate of mass diffusion usually depends on the stress state, the interaction between the diffusion process and the mechanical behavior of the damaged structure is also taken into account by a proper modeling of the stochastic effects in the mass transfer. To this aim, the nonlinear structural analyses during time are performed
within the framework of the finite element method by means of a deteriorating reinforced concrete beam element. The effectiveness of the
proposed methodology in handling complex geometrical and mechanical boundary conditions is demonstrated through some applications.
Firstly, a reinforced concrete box girder cross section is considered and the damaging process is described by the corresponding evolution of both bending moment–curvature diagrams and axial force-bending moment resistance domains. Secondly, the durability analysis of a
reinforced concrete continuous T-beam is developed. Finally, the proposed approach is applied to the analysis of an existing arch bridge and to the identification of its critical members.
The paper deals with the assessment during time of r.c. structures under damage due to diffusion of external agents inside the structure. The diffusion process is modelled by a cellular automata based approach, taking the interaction with the mechanical state of the structures, i.e. the cracking state of the structures, into account. A so-called staggered process then solves the coupled problem. An application shows the effectiveness of the proposed analysis strategy, together some design considerations about the structural robustness.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.

Introduction
In his 1969 book "The Sciences of the Artificial" (MIT Press), Herbert A.
Simon, argues that design is the central activity that defines engineering and
distinguishes it from the natural sciences. In fact, design is much more than
engineering: it encompasses many different skills and disciplines.
In Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) in particular, design has
typically been housed within each of the civil domains, shrouded by analysis,
replaced by standards and building codes, and unable to cross the
disciplinary boundaries as it was meant to do. Yet, many of the greatest
challenges that humanity will face in the 21st century will require civil and
environmental engineers and architects to develop creative and innovative
solutions that will radically alter our infrastructure and the built
environment.
The DCEE series of workshops explore what it would mean for design to
be a discipline within CEE, what it means for design to be a discipline in
other areas of engineering, and the implication for interdisciplinary design
in cooperation with other fields such as architecture, urban planning,
industrial design, product design and more.
We are pleased to invite you to the 5th International Workshop on Design
for Civil and Environmental Engineering where we will explore the nature
of design in civil and environmental engineering and establish the
foundation for civil design research.
