In recent years more and more demanding structures are designed, built and operated
to satisfy the increasing needs of the Society. This kind of structures can be denoted
as complex ones. Among large constructions arrangements, Offshore Wind Turbines
(OWT) are definitely complex structural systems, being this complexity related to
different aspects such as hard nonlinearities, wide uncertainties and strong
interactions, either among the single parts or between the whole structure and the
design environment.
On the whole, the quality of a complex system is denoted by the idea of
dependability, while for a structure the performances are connected to the property of
structural integrity, considered as the completeness and consistency of the structural
configuration. Even if these concepts have been originally developed, respectively, in
computer science and for aerospace applications they can be applied to other high
performance systems as OWT.
The present paper will show some specific aspects of the modern approach
for the design and the analysis of complex structural systems. In the first part of the
paper, the general aspects are recalled like the System Engineering approach and the
Performance-based Design. Attention is devoted to some important aspects, such as
the structure breakdown and the safety and performance allocations. In the second
part of the paper, a basic application of the concepts introduced is presented.
Building occupants’ comfort assessment in the PBWE frameworkFranco Bontempi
This research deals with the problem of the comfort assessment of high-rise building occupants under wind
action. Also if the problem has been studied by the researchers and by the civil engineering industry during last thirty years, appropriate methods to handling the design of high-rise buildings in order to avoid wind-induced occupant discomfort has not been defined yet, mainly due to the high uncertainties involved in the determination of both the demand and the sensitivity of the building occupants to wind-induced vibrations. The main issues related with this problem are first summarized, then the growing, pioneering performance-based wind engineering (PBWE) approach is proposed as tool to handle the problem. The required analyses are presented and discussed on both the conceptual and operational point of view. A case-study is then presented in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. In the PBWE view, the contribution of the work is focused on the procedural step identified as “damage analysis”, something that, in authors’ knowledge, has not been yet developed in the literature.
Causal models for the forensic investigation of structural failuresFranco Bontempi
The structural collapses are rare events that are characterized by complex dynamics: the identification
of their causes and the explanation of their developments are not straightforward processes and depend on numerous different factors. A fundamental aspect is that, even if sometimes it is possible to identify the trigger that have materially caused the collapse, usually there is a complex background of situations that have made the event possible and that need to be accurately analyzed. The investigation of the interrelated aspects and concurrent
causes is a fundamental task to assign conveniently the civil and criminal responsibilities. Starting from these considerations, the aim of this paper is to present some concepts that, in the Authors’ opinion, constitute a basis for the framework of the investigation activities. In the first part of thework two concepts are discussed. The first one is the concept of structural complexity, which is an attribute of the civil constructions that are characterized
by significant interactions, strong nonlinearities, and large uncertainties. The second concept regards the extension to the Civil Engineering field of a model for the development of failures proposed by Reason (Swiss Cheese Model, 1990). In the second part of the paper some operational approaches are briefly introduced: the breakdown of the problem and the analysis of the timeline; they are essential tools for the assignment of the various responsibility profiles.At the end of the contribution, the concept of structural dependability is recalled as an antidote to avoid failures providing high-quality structural design.

Structural Design and Analysis of Offshore Wind Turbines from a System Point...Franco Bontempi
Offshore wind turbines are relatively complex structural and mechanical systems located in
a highly demanding environment. In this study, the fundamental aspects and major issues
related to the design of such structures are inquired. The system approach is proposed to
carry out the design of the structural parts: in accordance with this philosophy, a
decomposition of the system (environment, structure, actions/loads) and of the structural
performance is carried out, in order to organize the qualitative and quantitative assessment
in various sub-problems. These can be faced by sub-models of different complexity both for
the structural behavior and for the load models. Numerical models are developed to assess
the safety performance under aerodynamic and hydrodynamic actions. In the structural
analyses, three types of turbine support structures have been considered and compared: a
monopile, a tripod and a jacket.
Robustness Assessment of a Steel Truss BridgeFranco Bontempi
This study focuses on the robustness assessment of a steel truss bridge. In the first part, a brief overview of several robustness indexes found in literature is provided, together with the principal approaches on the topics of structural robustness, collapse resistance and progressive collapse. In the second part, the extensively studied I-35W Minneapolis steel truss bridge is used as a case study for the application of a consequence-based robustness assessment. In particular, focus is
given on the influence that the loss of primary elements has on the structural load bearing capacity.

ANALISI DEL RISCHIO PER LA SICUREZZA NELLE GALLERIE STRADALI.Franco Bontempi
SOMMARIO
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.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
