SUMMARY:TIM approach: a thermodynamic standpoint for nonlinear soil-structure interaction
DESCRIPTION:Giovedì 8 Giugno si svolgerà presso l’aula 7.1.1 (Edificio 7 – Piazza Leonardo da Vinci\, 32) un seminario dal titolo “TIM approach: a thermodynamic standpoint for nonlinear soil-structure interaction” tenuto dal Dr. Davide Noè Gorini\, post-doc presso l’Università Sapienza di Roma. \nAbstract: \nThe frequency- and amplitude-dependant effects of soil-structure interaction under seismic conditions tend to be oversimplified in design and are commonly roughly modelled in large-scale assessment of structures\, with occurrence of unrealistic predictions of the ductility and displacement demands for the structural members. This seminar explores an analysis approach to account for salient features controlling the dynamic response of soil-structure systems\, overcoming limitations of existing practice-oriented methodologies and providing an essential description of reality. It consists of a class of Thermodynamic Inertial Macroelements (TIMs) simulating the macroscopic response of geotechnical systems in the nonlinear analysis of structures. TIMs reproduce a combined nonlinear and inertial response under multiaxial conditions of different foundation types\, including abutments\, shallow and deep foundations. The hardening response is derived within a consistent thermodynamic approach\, using hyper-plasticity\, and is bounded by the ultimate capacity of the geotechnical system. Inertial effects developing in a geotechnical system under dynamic loading are simulated through appropriate participating masses. TIMs are implemented as a new class of multiaxial materials in OpenSees. Applications of the proposed approach are discussed\, from the seismic analysis of peculiar soil-structure layouts to the large-scale assessment of infrastructural systems. \nSpeaker’s bio: \nDavide Noè Gorini is a post-doc at Sapienza University of Rome. He graduated in Civil Engineering in 2015 at Sapienza University of Rome\, where also obtained a PhD in Structural and Geotechnical Engineering in 2019\, working on a soil-abutment microelement representation for seismic assessment of bridges. He privileges open-source numerical environments for sharing knowledge without barriers\, such as OpenSees and open supercomputing resources. His current reseach fields concern: development of a thermodynamic inertial macroelement approach for soil-structure interaction; seismic performance of bridges\, buildings and tunnels; computational tools for soil-structure interaction applications in OpenSees; analysis and design of dissipative foundations and seismic-protection solutions; constitutive modelling for geomaterials and seismic assessment of natural slopes.

SUMMARY:Silicon based micromechanical actuators
DESCRIPTION:Lunedì 12 Giugno si svolgerà presso l’aula Beltrami (Edificio 5 – piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32) \, un seminario dal titolo “Silicon based micromechanical actuators” tenuto da Harald Schenk\, Professore presso il Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems della Brandenburg Technical University (Germania). \nSarà anche possibile seguire il seminario online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nFraunhofer IPMS is a leading research and development institute in the field of micromechanical sensors\, & actuators\, and systems based on them. The most important fields of application are smart industrial solutions\, mobility\, and medical & health. The presentation starts with a brief introduction of the institute and then turns to the field of micromechanical actuators. Three different classes of electrostatic microactuators based on silicon are currently investigated and developed at IPMS. The first class are comb actuators\, which are used for driving of scanning mirrors for 1D and 2D light deflection. Typical application examples are LIDAR systems for autonomous vehicles. The second class are highly integrable actuators used for micromirror arrays with a million addressable single mirrors per chip. These arrays are deployed\, among other applications\, in microlithography as programmable mask. In a current research project\, they are also being further developed for use in holographic displays. The third class of electrostatic actuators presented in the talk are novel bending actuators that achieve high deflections at small electrical voltages. They form the basis for micropositioning systems with a displacement of several hundred micrometers but also of novel micro loudspeakers and ultrasonic transducers.

SUMMARY:Locally resonant vibro-acoustic metamaterials as NVH solutions – applications by KU Leuven
DESCRIPTION:Lunedì 12 Giugno si svolgerà presso l’aula Beltrami (Edificio 5 – piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32) \, un seminario dal titolo “Locally resonant vibro-acoustic metamaterials as NVH solutions – applications by KU Leuven” tenuto da Elke Deckers\, Assistant Professor presso la KU Leuven Faculty of Engineering Technology (Belgio). \nSarà anche possibile seguire il seminario online al seguente link. \nAbstract  \nLightweight materials and designs have been largely used in a variety of engineering applications due to the increasingly stringent ecological as well as economical requirements. However\, lightweight structures typically combine low mass with high stiffness\, which in turn leads to an impaired Noise\, Vibration and Harshness (NVH) insulation performance. Classical solutions to improve the vibro-acoustic performance of systems often involve the addition of mass or volume\, which conflicts with the current trends towards lightweight designs. Locally resonant metamaterials (LRMs) have recently emerged and shown potential in the field of noise control engineering\, allowing lightweight designs while achieving a superior noise and vibration insulation performance in tunable frequency ranges\, referred to as stop bands\, which are frequency zones where free wave propagation is inhibited.\nThis presentation explains the basic concepts of locally resonant vibro-acoustic materials and shows the potential of this type of solution for noise and vibration mitigation applied to industrial automotive and aerospace relevant problems\, where different production processes and materials are used. \nSpeaker’s biosketch \nElke Deckers received her MSc degree in Mechanical Engineering from KU Leuven in June 2008. During her PhD studies at the same university\, she developed an alternative prediction method for mid-frequency vibro-acoustic analysis including poro-elastic materials. She received her PhD in December 2012 with a thesis entitled “A wave based approach for steady-state Biot models of poroelastic materials”. Holding a postdoctoral research grant of the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO)\, she extended her research field to the numerical and analytical modelling of complex lightweight material systems\, including viscous materials\, metamaterials and meta-porous systems\, and the development of supporting fast numerical prediction techniques. She did a research stay at Cambridge University and a short research stay at LAUM. She was appointed Assistant Professor at KU Leuven Campus Diepenbeek in 2019\, where she is currently broadening her domain of expertise to include also the production of lightweight material systems by polymer processing techniques like injection moulding and thermoforming. This way\, she aims to close and exploit the full (digital) loop ranging from design\, over manufacturing to the actual performance of the product.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Assessment and retrofitting of deep foundations of existing bridges
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 13 Giugno nell’aula 2.1.3 (Edificio 2)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Matteo Corigliano condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Assessment and retrofitting of deep foundations of existing bridges”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract: \nMost of the infrastructures in Europe are approaching their design life and\, therefore\, their safety has to be reassessed according to the more severe design standards.  Nowadays the foundations of existing bridges are verified using models based on simplified assumptions\, which make the retrofitting measures often unsustainable. \nThe ultimate goal of the research is the introduction of a tool\, allowing a rapid and reliable evaluation of the foundation performance and providing hints for the most rational retrofitting. To this aim\, the results of finite element numerical analyses on a real case study have been theoretically interpreted\, obtaining significant insight in the mechanical response of pile groups. The innovative tool under development will lead to a more aware and sustainable design of bridge foundations retrofitting measures. \nSpeaker’s bio: \nMatteo is PhD candidate in Structural Seismic and Geotechnical Engineering and has a Master degree in Civil Engineering – Geotechnics.\nHis mainreserach interest is the interaction between soil and critical infrastructures (bridges\, emnbankments and tunnels).\nHe is now focused on the assessment and retrofitting of deep foundations of existing bridges.\nHe spends his free time playing tennis\, skiing and honing his photography skills.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Effects of stimulated autogenous self-healing of Ultra High-Performance Concrete slabs under repeated impact loading
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Giovedì 22 Giugno nell’aula Fassò\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLo speaker Niranjan Prabhu Kannikachalam condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Effects of stimulated autogenous self-healing of Ultra High-Performance Concrete slabs under repeated impact loading”.  \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nAbstract:  \nThis paper reports on an experimental investigation on the self-healing capabilities of Ultra-High-Performance Concrete (UHPC) subjected to a drop-weight test. The impactor weight was 10 kg\, dropped from the height of 1 m on the center of the specimen with dimensions 29 x 29 x 4 cm3 (± 1 cm)\, with fixed corners and a continuous bottom support near the edges. Two types of self-healing were studied: stimulated autogenous self-healing with crystalline admixtures and autonomous self-healing with macro-capsules containing polyurethane. To pre-crack the specimens\, a repeated impact was performed on the same specimen. The different healing conditions for autogenous self-healing were submersion\, wet/dry cycling in water\, or in saline solution (12 hours wet/12 hours dry)\, and exposure to an environment with 95±5% RH. The self-healing evaluation was made using natural frequency analysis\, microscopic crack closure monitoring\, and laser measurements of the ductility. The test moments were at impact testing\, and after 1 month\, 2 months\, and 4 months. The rebound height of the impactor and the crack formation during a drop weight test were analyzed using a high-speed camera and Digital Image Correlation. At the end of the healing period\, all the specimens were tested to failure and the improvement of impact resistance due to self-healing was evaluated. Based on the natural frequency analysis and surface crack closure\, the healing efficiency for autogenous self-healing increased for samples stored at 95±5% RH\, in wet/dry cycling\, and submerged. In comparison\, autonomous self-healing specimens were tested to failure on the same day\, an hour after pre-cracking. \nSpeaker’s bio: \nNiranjan Prabhu\, an enthusiastic and committed Ph.D. student\, is dedicated to exploring the characterization of self-healing concrete performance in extreme loading scenarios. He is currently enrolled in the joint doctoral program at Politecnico di Milano (36th cycle) and Ghent University\, where he is also a valued researcher in the Self-healing concrete group of the Smartincs network. Niranjan’s primary objective is to contribute significantly to the field through his research endeavors. In addition to his research pursuits\, Niranjan actively participates in scholarly discussions\, attends conferences\, and collaborates closely with fellow researchers\, fostering a dynamic academic community.

SUMMARY:Tough Architected Concrete Enabled by Robotic Manufacturing and Bio-inspired Schemes
DESCRIPTION:Venerdì 30 Giugno si svolgerà presso l’aula Beltrami (Edificio 5 – piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32) \, un seminario dal titolo “Tough Architected Concrete Enabled by Robotic Manufacturing and Bio-inspired Schemes” tenuto da Reza Moini\, Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering presso l’università di Princeton (New Jersey\, USA). \nAbstract \nIn the face of climate changes\, the world’s growing population\, and decaying infrastructure\, there is a need to develop stronger\, tougher\, and more resilient civil infrastructure materials. Nature offers abundant relevant insight for developing resilient engineering materials. Two primary challenges are engineering the mechanics of strong and tough design motifs found in biological materials and implementing their fabrication via advancing manufacturing processes such as additive manufacturing techniques.  This seminar presents a bio-inspired approach for the purposeful design of architected cement-based materials. Construction materials typically suffer from a brittle response and low fracture toughness compared to other ceramic counterparts. Here\, we propose engineering several toughening mechanisms informed by nature\, into the conventionally brittle construction materials (such as concrete) with a quasi-brittle and ductile response and significantly enhanced toughness property. These designs are enabled by a variety of manufacturing techniques\, including additive processes. Layer-by-layer additive manufacturing commonly leads to processing-induced weak interfaces. By harnessing the weak characteristics of the interfaces and materials architecture\, we engineer the ability for damage delocalization in the material. This seminar makes the case that additive manufacturing offers the opportunity to harness the role of heterogeneous interfaces\, in favor of materials’ mechanical properties. Development of non-conventional automated technologies such as robotic additive manufacturing processes across multiple scales will be presented as the necessary tools to achieve such resilient infrastructure materials. \nSpeaker’s biosketch \nReza Moini joined the Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at Princeton University as an assistant professor in January 2021. He is directing the Architected Materials and Additive Manufacturing (AM2) Lab at Princeton and is an associated faculty with the Institute of Materials as well as the Andlinger Center of Energy and Environment. Moini completed his Ph.D. in the Lyles School of Civil Engineering at Purdue University in 2020. \nHis current research focuses on understanding the mechanics of architected and functional civil engineering materials with toughening mechanisms inspired by natural material\, and developing new processing techniques that enable them. His work is motivated by the intellectual challenges in mechanics of intrinsically brittle materials and designing tough and flaw-tolerant materials without changing the materials’ composition. \n  \n

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Hazard and risk assessment in urban areas based on 3D Phisics-Based ground shaking scenarios
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 4 Luglio nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4a)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLa speaker Jiayue Lin condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Hazard and risk assessment in urban areas based on 3D Phisics-Based ground shaking scenarios”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract: \nWith the growth of global urban population and the concentration of economic activities in cities\, the analysis of the impact of devastating earthquakes plays a crucial role in disaster risk reduction in large urban areas. Earthquake ground motion models are a key component in the chain for seismic risk assessment\, both within probabilistic and deterministic frameworks\, providing estimates of the probability distribution of ground motion intensity measures as a function of explanatory variables\, such as magnitude\, distance\, and site conditions. Standard empirical approaches\, i.e. Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs)\, are routinely used in engineering practice but suffer from some\nintrinsic drawbacks\, such as: (i) they are poorly calibrated in the near-source region of strong earthquakes; (ii) they cannot account for complex\, site-specific\, geological conditions; (iii) they do not provide a detailed and region-specific description of spatial variability of ground motion; (iv) they provide only peak values of ground motion without the full waveforms which may be used in dynamic\nanalyses of structures.\n3D physics-based numerical simulations (PBS) of seismic ground motion\, which reflect the physics of the whole seismic wave propagation problem\, from the seismic source\, through the propagation path\, up to the local site response\, have emerged as a promising tool\, complementary to GMPEs\, for predicting earthquake ground motion and its spatial variability during realistic earthquakes. In this\ncontext\, the main goal of this PhD thesis is to explore the use of 3D PBS (by the computer code SPEED\, http://speed.mox.polimi.it/ ) in seismic risk assessment at urban scale\, by coupling an advanced characterization of ground motion and of this spatial variability with state-of-the-art\nvulnerability and fragility models\, with application to the case study of Thessaloniki in Northern Greece. \nSpeaker’s bio: \nJiayue Lin is a PhD student at Politecnico di Milano within the H2020-Marie-Curie Project\, and she has been working on different aspects related to the incorporation of ground shaking scenarios from physics-based numerical simulations in seismic risk models\, with application to the Thessaloniki case study. \nJiayue is simply loving her life with respecting her inner voice\, and at this present\, she is missing Traditional Chinese Calligraphy very much\, which is her habit that she enjoyed when she was in China.

SUMMARY:A tale of two complementary paradigms for urban water sustainability: A computational fluid dynamics machine learning model of water treatment optimization versus urban recovery/reuse in the circular economy
DESCRIPTION:Mercoledì 12 Luglio si svolgerà presso l’aula T.0.4 (Edificio 13 – Via Bonardi)\, un seminario dal titolo “A tale of two complementary paradigms for urban water sustainability: A computational fluid dynamics machine learning model of water treatment optimization versus urban recovery/reuse in the circular economy” tenuto da John J. Sansalone\, Professore di Ingegneria presso la University of Florida (USA). \nAbstract \n\n\nThe built environs have evolved with a focus on individual motor vehicle transport\, imperviousness that yield climate change impacts\, and results in a degraded urban water cycle.  This evolution is no longer sustainable and results\, in part\, in a human condition of chronic health dysregulation from anthropogenic chemical and particulate matter (PM) exposure and a lack of human physical activity.  Focusing on the sustainability of urban water\, a plethora of tools/techniques are available to facilitate urban water sustainability.  This seminar contrasts two tools/techniques: (a)  A state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamics (CFD) coupled machine learning (ML) modeling platform (CFD-ML) developed from physical model data and CFD simulations over a wide range of urban drainage clarification configurations\, loadings\, hydrodynamics\, urban PM granulometry and PM-partitioned chemicals versus (b) Recovery/reuse of PM and PM-partitioned chemicals by maintenance operations that has historical roots in Italy that encompass hundreds of years.  The modern incentive to recovery/reuse is the promulgation of load credits (PM\, chemicals) as an alternative to structural best management practices (BMPs) in urban areas\, in particular with urban infrastructure adjacency conflicts.  The benefits of CFD-ML is optimization of treatment systems\, in particular\, with constrained volume/surface area as well as treatment optimization of systems designed for flood control\, a perennial challenge in Italy and all urbanized countries.  The liability of residence time (RT) guidance is shown for PM and chemical load management as well as the economic unsustainability of such guidance.  The benefits of urban reuse/recovery of PM and chemical loads in a circular economy are demonstrated as well as a methodology used to provide load credits for such near source control practices.  The parallel benefit to such frequent urban reuse/recovery of PM\, chemical\, trash (plastics\, EDCs\, PFAS …) loads is the reduction of ecological (including human) exposure to chronic toxins in aqueous and atmospheric environs.

SUMMARY:Shape Memory Alloy (SMA)-based Seismically Resilient Civil Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Martedì 18 Luglio si svolgerà presso l’Aula Magna (Edificio 1 – piazza Leonardo da Vinci 32) \, un seminario dal titolo “Shape Memory Alloy (SMA)-based Seismically Resilient Civil Infrastructure” tenuto da Shahria Alam\, Professore di Ingegneria Civile presso l’University of British Columbia (UBC). \nAbstract \nShape memory alloy (SMA) is a special kind of material that can undergo large deformations and return to its undeformed shape through stress removal (superelasticity) or heating (shape memory effect). Its distinct thermomechanical properties and flag-shaped hysteresis make SMA an ideal contender for the development of various novel and resilient structural components against seismic hazards. Different types of SMAs are available in the market (e.g.\, Ni-Ti\, Cu- and Fe-based SMAs) in various forms (e.g.\, wires\, round bars\, plates\, cables\, etc). This presentation will review selected past efforts that have contributed to the enhancement of seismic resilience for buildings and bridges by utilizing SMAs in beam-column connections\, bracings\, dampers/isolators\, etc\, and outline some of the technical and non-technical issues that need to be addressed in the future. Although the high cost of SMAs is still limiting their wide use\, research investigating their production and processing will make them more cost-competitive. It is expected that SMAs will emerge as an essential material in the construction industry in the near future to build more resilient civil infrastructure. \nSpeaker’s biosketch \nDr. Shahria Alam is a Professor of Civil Engineering and the Tier 1 Principal’s Research Chair in Resilient & Green Infrastructure in the School of Engineering at The University of British Columbia (UBC)’s Okanagan campus. He is serving as the Director of the Green Construction Research & Training Center (GCRTC) at UBC. Dr. Alam is the Vice President (Technical Programs) of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE). Previously\, he served as the Chair of the Engineering Mechanics and Materials Division of the Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE) from 2017 to 2023. He received his PhD in Civil/Structural Engineering from Western University in 2008. His research interests include smart and recycled materials and their structural engineering applications. He has published about 400 peer-reviewed articles in these areas. He is the recipient of many national and international awards including three best paper awards.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Sediment transport monitoring and Smart-Sed\, a new sediment erosion and transport model
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 18 Luglio nell’aula 2.1.3 (Edificio 2)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLa speaker Monica Corti condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Sediment transport monitoring and Smart-Sed\, a new sediment erosion and transport model”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract: \nThe development of smart strategies for geo-hazard management in urban areas has lately become crucial in relation to the higher occurrence of extreme events\, expected as a consequence of climate change. Therefore\, the engineering geology research group of Politecnico di Milano has recently developed a new sediment erosion and transport model\, called SMART-SED.\nThe advantages of SMART-SED with respect to other similar models are the automatic detection of the drainage zones\, the statistical downscaling of soil granulometry input maps and the evaluation of the factor of safety at catchment scale. Moreover\, the input data required are few and they are usually open data.\nAfter studies on sediment transport on a mountain catchment located near the Lecco campus of Politecnico\, the model was successfully calibrated and validated\, given the availability of field data over time. Then\, different applications were successfully tested\, as the dam filling evaluation in catchments characterized by different bedrocks in the Italian Alps and in the Apennines. In addition\, the back-analysis of some well-known Italian floods and debris flows events was accomplished\, considering as input the relative rainfall data\, and a simulation of a climate change scenario from the General Circulation Model was performed to understand possible future hazard scenarios.\nA general good performance of the model was observed also for the identification of the unstable slopes and of the flooded areas\, based on comparison with the Italian landslides inventory and with Sentinel Hub maps. Finally\, the simulation of the climate change scenario show an increase of the magnitude of solid and water discharge that has to be taken into account for the adaptation of the actual rainfall thresholds to the future rainfall regimes.\nThe proof of the reliability of SMART-SED results is considered important for the development of a complete hydrological model that can represent an innovative tool for urban planning and risk mitigation in a climate change scenario. \nSpeaker’s bio: \nMonica graduated in Geological Sciences and Technologies at University of Milano-Bicocca in 2019. She has collaborated with Politecnico di Milano working on topics related to engineering geology since 2019\, and she is currently enrolled in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering PhD program (37° cycle) at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of Politecnico di Milano. Her research deals with shallow processes related to sediment erosion and transport. \nIn her free time\, Monica enjoys hiking and travelling.

SUMMARY:Genomics-Driven Solutions: Harnessing the Power of Genomic Science for Controlling Antimicrobial Resistance and Infectious Diseases in Applied Engineering and Architecture
DESCRIPTION:Martedì 26 settembre dalle ore 10.00 alle ore 11.00 presso l’Aula Magna (Edificio 1 – p.za Leonardo da Vinci\, 32 – Milano) si terrà un seminario dal titolo: “Genomics-Driven Solutions: Harnessing the Power of Genomic Science for Controlling Antimicrobial Resistance and Infectious Diseases in Applied Engineering and Architecture“\, tenuto dalla Dott.ssa Elita Jauneikaite (Imperial College of London\, UK). \nDopo la presentazione la discussione finale sarà moderata da tre ricercatori del Politecnico di Milano: la Dott.ssa Beatrice Cantoni (DICA)\, il Dott. Marco Gola (DABC) e la Dott.ssa Nina Bono (DCMC). \nQuesto seminario è il risultato di una collaborazione tra questi quattro ricercatori nata all’interno della European Talent Academy (ETA)\, un’iniziativa di sviluppo del talento per potenziare la rete e la carriera dei ricercatori nella loro fase iniziale\, promossa dall’Ufficio Ricerca del Politecnico di Milano insieme alla Technical University of Munich e all’Imperial College London. \nSarà anche possibile seguire il seminario online tramite il seguente link. \nAbstract \nNearly a century after the discovery of penicillin heralded the beginning of the antibiotic era\, which has been associated with unparalleled improvements in human health and reductions in mortality associated with infection\, the dwindling pipeline for new antibiotic classes coupled with the inevitable spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) pose a major global challenge. Historically\, surveillance of AMR bacteria typically relied on phenotypic analysis of isolates taken from infected individuals\, which provides only a low-resolution view of the epidemiology behind an individual infection or wider outbreak. Recent years have seen increasing adoption of powerful new genomic technologies that have the potential to revolutionise AMR surveillance by provide a high-resolution picture of AMR profile of the bacteria causing infections and provide real-time actionable information for treating and preventing infections. With current DNA sequencing technologies and turnaround times\, outbreak investigation and providing support for IPC is the best use of genomics for AMR surveillance in healthcare facilities. \nI will share examples of my work on applying bacterial genomics to better understand disease-causing bacterial infections and antimicrobial resistance patterns by analysing large-scale datasets and how application of DNA sequencing technologies to investigate hospital clusters of bacterial isolates with unusual antimicrobial activity transforms our epidemiological understanding of such hospital clusters and provides novel insights into resistance vectors. \nSpeaker’s bio \nDr Elita Jauneikaite is an Advanced Research Fellow in Bacterial Genomics and Epidemiology at the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology at Imperial College London. She completed her PhD at the University of Southampton and the Genome Institute of Singapore before moving to Imperial College as a postdoctoral researcher and then a Research Fellow. Currently\, Dr Jauneikaite is the Research Lead for the Priority Pathogens theme at the National Institute of Health Research Health Protection Research Unit in Healthcare Associated Infection and Antimicrobial Resistance at Imperial College London. \nElita’s research focuses on evolution\, transmission and antimicrobial resistance of vaccine preventable\, and healthcare associated bacterial infections. As her major research programme\, Elita is investigating the disease-causing Group B Streptococcus (GBS) using large-scale genomic epidemiology in both high- and low-income country settings\, bioinformatic analyses and molecular biology techniques to inform on evolution\, mother-to-baby transmission\, and emergence of antimicrobial resistance patterns of this pathogen. As Research Lead for Priority Pathogens\, Elita leads genomics work investigating healthcare associated infections\, as well as outbreaks and pathogenicity of a range of bacterial pathogens including E. coli\, K. pneumoniae\, carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales\, staphylococcal and streptococcal species. \nElita co-led the recent Surveillance and Epidemiology of Drug Resistant Infections (SEDRIC) genomic surveillance of AMR working group and is an active member of the JPIAMR B2B2B-AMRdx network. In 2022\, Elita was recognised as an Emerging Leader in International Infectious Diseases by International Society for Infectious Diseases (ISID) and selected as a participant in the European Talent Academy 2023.

SUMMARY:Uncertainty and Decision-making: Philosophical instruments at the service of Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Giovedì 28 settembre dalle ore 12.30 alle ore 13.30 presso l’Aula Fassò (Edificio 4A – p.za Leonardo da Vinci\, 32 – Milano) si terrà un seminario dal titolo: “Uncertainty and Decision-making: Philosophical instruments at the service of Engineering“\, tenuto da Malvina Ongaro (Politecnico di Milano – DICA). \nSarà anche possibile seguire l’evento online da WebEx. \nAbstract \nUncertainty is a central concept in everyday life and in most academic disciplines. In Engineering\, virtually any modelling or planning has to face uncertainty of different types and varying degrees of severity. How do we make choices under all this uncertainty\, and how should we make them? Analyses coming from theoretical research on the concept of uncertainty and on different approaches in decision-making may provide valuable tools for applied work in many areas of Engineering. \nSpeaker’s bio \nMalvina Ongaro is a postdoc researcher at Politecnico di Milano. She obtained her PhD in Philosophy from the Università del Piemonte Orientale\, where she worked mainly in decision theory and philosophy of economics. She holds a MSc in philosophy of science from the London School of Economics and has held visiting positions at the TINT Centre for Philosophy of Social Science in Helsinki and at the Erasmus Institute for Philosophy and Economics in Rotterdam. Her current interests include natural risks\, cost-benefit analysis\, and multi-criteria decision-making. \n

SUMMARY:Bio e-methane from CO2 and green H2
DESCRIPTION:Ricomincia l’appuntamento con il secondo ciclo di PhDTalks\, il primo seminario si terrà Martedì 3 ottobre in aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 16:30 alle 17:45 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLa speaker Anna Santus condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Bio e-methane from CO2 and green H2”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract \nClimate change will have negative effects on human health\, economics\, the environment\, flora and fauna presence on the planet. For these reasons\, the necessity to find and use renewable energy sources\, such as bio e-methane\, is compelling. Bio e-methane can be generated by reducing carbon dioxide (CO2)\, a well-known greenhouse gas\, and green hydrogen (H2)\, through a biological process mediated by hydrogenotrophic methanogens (Archaea). The bio e-methane generated can be directly injected in the national natural gas grid and/or it can be used as a fuel in the transportation sector. During the PhD project\, both experimental and modelling activities of this biological process have been conducted. Experimental analysis\, carried out in batch and continuous operation\, have allowed to identify the microorganisms maximum velocity\, the optimal reactor configuration and also inhibition factors/nutrients deficiency. Modelling activities have validated experimental data collected and\, helped understanding physical aspect of gas-liquid mass of H2. Some noteworthy results achieved include: i) cultivation of hydrogenotrophic methanogens; ii) the development of a method for measuring the specific velocity of microorganisms (SHMA); iii) implementation of a model for the biological process. Looking ahead\, further insights into H2 gas-liquid mass transfer are needed to optimize the process\, as it remains a key aspect of this biological process. \nSpeaker’s bio \nAnna is a PhD student in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering (36th cycle) at Politecnico di Milano. She has a Master of Science in Environmental and Land Planning Engineering obtained in 2019 at Politecnico di Milano. Her research activities are focused on anaerobic digestion processes and biological biogas upgrading. In her free time\, Anna loves playing soccer and hiking.

SUMMARY:Load tests on existing bridges to support safety assessment: state of the art and research perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Martedì 17 settembre dalle ore 15.00 alle ore 16.00 presso l’Aula 26.14 (Edificio 26 – Via Golgi\, 20 – Milano) si terrà un seminario dal titolo: “Load tests on existing bridges to support safety assessment: state of the art and research perspectives“\, tenuto da Daniele Losanno (Università di Napoli “Federico II” – Dipartimento di Strutture per l’Ingegneria e l’Architettura). \nAbstract \nLe prove di carico sui ponti sono tradizionalmente concepite per verificare la rispondenza del comportamento reale delle strutture a quello atteso e la risposta essenzialmente in campo elastico lineare. Negli ultimi anni a livello internazionale è stato introdotto il concetto del “bridge load testing”\, ovvero l’esecuzione di una prova di carico finalizzata a determinare una quantificazione del livello di sicurezza del ponte su base affidabilistica.  In Italia il tema risulta di particolare interesse per Gestori autostradali ed Enti locali che nei prossimi mesi dovranno implementare l’approccio multilivello previsto dalle nuove Linee Guida per la classificazione e la gestione del rischio\, la valutazione della sicurezza e il monitoraggio dei ponti esistenti. Nell’ambito del progetto che individua il Consorzio RELUIS quale soggetto attuatore della sperimentazione delle Linee Guida da parte del CSLLPP\, è attiva e in fase di sviluppo una linea di ricerca sul tema specifico. A partire dalle basi del metodo in termini di sicurezza e affidabilità strutturale rispetto a livelli di carico prescritti dalle norme\, verranno illustrate le possibili modalità di esecuzione della prova e l’importanza della definizione di soglie di allarme anche attraverso tecnologie innovative per il monitoraggio in tempo reale. Evidenziando inoltre la rilevanza di eventuali transiti eccezionali sull’opera\, saranno mostrati i risultati preliminari del caso reale di un viadotto autostradale – recentemente soggetto ad una prova di carico secondo NTC 2018 – per la valutazione degli effetti della prova sui livelli di sicurezza conseguiti. \nSpeaker’s bio \nDaniele Losanno è attualmente Ricercatore (RTDA) presso il Dipartimento di Strutture per l’Ingegneria e l’Architettura (DiST) dell’Università di Napoli “Federico II” dal 2020\, dove ha conseguito il Dottorato di ricerca nel 2015. E’ stato visiting PhD student presso la University of California Berkeley (2012) e Ricercatore presso l’Istituto delle Tecnologie della Costruzione del CNR (2019-2020).

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Why should we recover P from sewage sludge? How can we get it?
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 17 ottobre nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A)\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET. \nPhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento. \nLa speaker Gaia Boniardi condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Why should we recover P from sewage sludge? How can we get it?”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract  \nPhosphorus is an essential element for life and its supply is expected to be critical soon. The increasing demand for fertilizers is gradually depleting the phosphate rocks\, which are non-renewable resources concentrated in a few countries. On the other hand\, the population growth and the rapid urbanization are putting the wastewater treatment plants under strong pressure\, who are dealing with huge amounts of sewage sludge to dispose of every year. To tackle this issue\, in the view of circular economy and sustainable development\, phosphorus and nutrient recovery from sewage sludge is a promising option. The goal of this research is to optimize the phosphorous recovery from sewage sludge ash via wet chemical extraction. Experimental results underlined the influence of wastewater treatment layout and combustion process conditions on phosphorus extraction\, while the heavy metals decontamination played a fundamental role in the production of high-quality recovered material. \nSpeaker’s bio \nGaia is a PhD Candidate in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering (36° cycle) at Politecnico di Milano. In 2020 she got a Master of Science in Environmental Engineering\, and she is currently working on nutrient recovery from waste\, in particular phosphorus from sewage sludge ash. In her free time\, she loves swimming\, surfing\, and traveling.

SUMMARY:Creep Buckling Behaviour of Concrete-filled Steel Tubular Arches
DESCRIPTION:Lunedì 23 ottobre alle ore 17.00 presso l’Aula Grandori (Edificio 4 – p.za Leonardo da Vinci\, 32 – Milano) si terrà un seminario dal titolo: “Creep Buckling Behaviour of Concrete-filled Steel Tubular Arches“\, tenuto da Yue Geng\, Professoressa di Structural Engineering presso l’Harbin Institute of Technology\, China. \nAbstract \nThe use of concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) arches is becoming popular for bridge applications because of the increased load-carrying capacity\, convenience in construction\, and attractive appearance. Till 2023\, more than 600 CFST arch bridges have been built in China. With the improvements in material and construction techniques\, the span of newly built CFST arch bridges continues to increase\, and the longest span has reached to 600 m. As the span of CFST arch bridges increases\, the time-dependent behaviour of the core concrete in arch ribs becomes significant\, leading to considerably increase in arch deflections\, stress redistributions between steel and core concrete sections\, and even instability problems for the arches. This significant influence may trigger possible instability problems in slender CFST arches if not accurately accounted for. This presentation gains insight into the stability and creep buckling behavior of CFST arch bridges and investigates the key issues in the stability analysis of CFST arches\, including the residual stress\, the confinement effect\, the creep effect of the core concrete\, and the initial stress. This presentation also provides an accurate method to predict the time-dependent response of CFST arch bridges. \nBio-sketch \nYue Geng is Professor of Structural Engineering at Harbin Institute of Technology\, China. Prof Geng’s principal research interests lie in the composite structures and in concrete materials\, with particular research expertise on their time-dependent behaviours. Prof Yue Geng has co-authored 1 textbook\, 3 book chapters and 40 SCI journal papers\, and is good at both structural and material testing\, numerical modelling and the development of design methods. She has been granted 10 patents and software copyrights by the Chinese government. The research results have been applied to the refined design of 15 long-span or high-rise structures. She is co-chairing the Chinese design standard for recycled concrete composite structures that issued by the China Steel Construction Society. She is included in the working group for the ‘Concrete materials terminology’ standard ISO/TC 71/AHG 1 and 7 other Chinese designing codes for composite structures or recycled concrete materials. She is the editor of the International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials. She was awarded the first prizes for scientific and technological progress by the Hei Long Jiang Province Government (2nd contributor) and by the China Steel Construction Society (3rd contributor).

SUMMARY:Recycled Aggregate Concrete Composite Structures
DESCRIPTION:Martedì 24 ottobre alle ore 14.30 presso l’Aula Grandori (Edificio 4 – p.za Leonardo da Vinci\, 32 – Milano) si terrà un seminario dal titolo: “Recycled Aggregate Concrete Composite Structures“\, tenuto da Huan Zhang\, Associate Professor di Structural Engineering presso la Scuola di Ingegneria Civile all’Harbin Institute of Technology\, Cina. \nAbstract \nNatural sand and stone resources are depleting rapidly\, and there is an urgent need to optimize the disposal methods for waste concrete. Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) provides an effective solution to address these challenges. Steel-concrete composite structures can fully leverage the properties of materials\, compensating for the lower mechanical performance and higher discrepancies of RAC. The establishment of RAC mechanical properties models and the development of design method for steel-RAC composite structures is crucial for promoting the structural application of RAC. This presentation will delve into the influence mechanism of recycled aggregates\, discussing key issues in the development of mechanical property models for RAC and design methods for steel-RAC composite structures. Finally\, this presentation will introduce the proposed models for mechanical properties of RAC and design methods for RAC filled steel tubes and steel-RAC composite slab/beam systems\, addressing both load-carrying capacity and long-term performances. \nBio-sketch \nHuan Zhang is Associate Professor of Structural Engineering in the School of Civil Engineering at Harbin Institute of Technology. His research interests lie in the behaviours of steel-green concrete composite structures\, especially their long-term behaviours. He has published over 20 SCI/EI technical papers including Cement and Concrete Composites\, Engineering Structures\, Construction and Building Materials\, etc. He has been granted sever patents and two software copyrights by the Chinese government. He serves on the editor board of the Chinese design standard for recycled concrete composite structures (CSCS) that issued by the China Steel Construction Society. Prof. Zhang presided 5 scientific research projects\, including one project from National Natural Science Foundation of China. He was awarded the first prize for scientific and technological progress by the Hei Long Jiang Province Government. \n

SUMMARY:Behaviour of CFST Columns with Localized Corrosion Damage
DESCRIPTION:Martedì 24 ottobre alle ore 15.30 presso l’Aula Grandori (Edificio 4 – p.za Leonardo da Vinci\, 32 – Milano) si terrà un seminario dal titolo: “Behaviour of CFST Columns with Localized Corrosion Damage“\, tenuto da Chen Jia\, postdoc presso l’Harbin Institute of Technology\, Cina. \nAbstract \nDue to the outstanding structural performance\, concrete-filled steel tubes (CFST) are extensively applied in contemporary structures in marine towers\, bridge piers\, and coastal platforms. CFSTs can be subjected to localized corrosion damage during their long-time service\, because of the metallic properties of the steel tube and the corrosive medium in harsh working environments. Localized corrosion damage would cause a detrimental effect on CFST columns since it induces the continuous loss of the cross-section area of the steel tube\, as well as the loss of the confinement on the core concrete. This presentation will show the experimental and numerical investigations on CFSTs with simulated localized corrosion damage\, discuss corrosion-induced deterioration of load-carrying capacity of CFSTs\, and finally introduce the methods for predicting the residual strength of localized corroded CFSTs. \nBio-sketch \nDr. Chen Jia is now a postdoc at Harbin Institute of Technology. The main topics of her research are the post-corrosion performance of steel structures and steel-concrete composite structures. Dr. Jia presided/participated in 9 scientific research projects. She is co-author of over 20 papers published on Engineering Structures\, Thin-walled Structures\, Ocean Engineering et.al.\, and has acted as a reviewer for several scientific journals. She serves on the editor board of a design standard that issued by the China Association for Engineering Construction Standardization.

SUMMARY:Particle based simulations: from nano-chemo-mechanics to structural collapse optimization
DESCRIPTION:Mercoledì 25 ottobre alle ore 12.30 presso l’Aula Grandori (Edificio 4 – p.za Leonardo da Vinci\, 32 – Milano) si terrà un seminario dal titolo: “Particle based simulations: from nano-chemo-mechanics to structural collapse optimization“\, tenuto da Enrico Masoero (Politecnico di Milano – DICA). \nAbstract \nParticle-based simulations encompass a wide class of methods in the mechanics and physics of solids\, from molecular dynamics at the atomistic scale up to the Discrete Element method at the macroscale. A key ingredient in particle-based simulations are the interaction potentials and forces between particles; these control the dynamics and equilibrium of the simulated systems under agents such as temperature\, pressure\, chemical potentials\, applied strain\, etc. Within this framework\, the presentation will initially focus on simulating the microstructural evolution of materials under chemical reactions coupled with mechanical stress. An original Kinetic Monte Carlo simulator called MASKE will be presented to this end\, followed by applications to: (i) epitaxial nucleation and agglomeration of nanoparticles forming a mesoporous solid; (ii) stress-driven dissolution at crystallographic defects; (iii) creep and strain-dependent mechanics of nanocrystals under pressure-induced dissolution; (iv) eigenstress relaxation during cyclic deformations; (v) carbonation of calcium hydroxide as a self-healing mechanism for concrete (also mediated by bacteria); (vi) diffusion-limited dendrite growth on metal lithium electrodes. All these applications show how chemo-mechanical particle-based simulations\, when applied to the formation and degradation of microstructures\, can help gain mechanistic insight and inform the engineering models\, e.g. continuum-based ones. The presentation will then address a challenging question: can discrete simulations be combined with numerical optimization techniques to obtain structures (and microstructures) with desired properties and kinetics? A first attempt to address this question will be presented\, in the form of a software called DETO\, which extends to Discrete Element (DE) simulations the established SIMP (Solid Isotropic Material with Penalization) for Topology Optimization (TO). \nSpeaker’s bio \nEnrico Masoero is an Associate Professor at Politecnico di Milano and a member of the Mechanics of Materials and Structures group\, in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. He obtained his PhD in Structural Engineering at Politecnico di Torino (2010)\, with a dissertation on particle-based simulations of building collapse. During his postdoc at MIT (2010-2013) his research shifted to the nanoscale of cement hydration. His subsequent years as a Lecturer and Senior Lecturer in the U.K. (Newcastle University 2013-2021 and Cardiff University 2021-2023) shaped his current interest in chemo-mechanical simulations and optimisation of microstructure formation and degradation. Enrico has authored various papers in international journals\, including in Physical Review Letters\, PNAS\, ACS Journal of Applied Materials and Interfaces\, and Cement and Concrete Research. He was Co-I in a large U.K. project on particle-based simulations of biomineralization (2020-2023). He is also a member of the Materials Properties committee of the Engineering Mechanics Institute\, of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
