Chapter
In the mid-1930s, Shanghai was the largest industrial city in China; the factories and the workshops occupied the outermost reaches, made up of canals and workers’ housing, and the central district, where the city was grandly centred on the Bund, the riverside road of concessions which grazed the Imperial city. The current urban structure still for...

Nel territorio della Provincia di Rieti sono sempre più numerosi gli elementi della storia industriale che occorre portare all’attenzione della gestione e della pianificazione. Si tratta di realtà produttive che, dopo un secolare ciclo di vita, hanno perso la loro funzionalità e inducono a un confronto con gli spazi, i territori e i paesaggi del la...

The undeniable fame achieved by thin concrete shells during the XX century is a well-known story. Their shapes represent the apex of the intersection between science and technology as well as a cultural distinctive character of modernity. The reasons for this enduring attraction on engineers and architects lay in the fact that the design of these g...

In 1887, the Papermill Mecenate settled at the Sanctuary of Hercules the Victor in Tivoli, thanks to the construction of the Canevari Canal. The papermill represented, for decades, the largest industrial plant placed on the former religious site, which had already housed various manufacturing functions. The phases of greatest overlap occurred in th...

Three-dimensional Digital Image Correlation (3D-DIC) gained popularity as a line-of-sight, high-resolution Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) technique. Nonetheless, 3D-DIC is still impractical when the natural frequencies and the mode shapes of the structure have to be correlated. Recently, the integration of Motion Magnification (MM) as a pre-pro...
Chapter
The built environment is subject to complex combinations of cascading disasters, sudden onset disasters (SUODs), such as earthquakes, or slow onset disasters (SLODs), such as pollution and heat islands. They can cause harm to people and destroy the built environment. Moreover, the historical built environment (HBE) possesses typical characteristics...
Chapter
The problem of the Historical Built Environment (HBE) and risk factors representation in the Building Information Modelling (BIM)-based model is a debated topic in literature. The complex and variety of geometry and features of existing buildings and urban open spaces (OSs) raise the issue of their representation, both in terms of geometric model a...

The historical built environment (HBE) in urban areas is prone to disasters, which threaten both people and the historical built heritage itself. In such a scenario, risks depend on the combination between different possible (multi-) hazards (including climate change-related ones), the vulnerability and exposure of HBE users, and the physical (morp...
