SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Acceleration of high-resolution simulations of pollutants dispersion in atmosphere performed with a Lagrangian Particle Dispersion Model
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 30 Maggio 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 Daniela Barbero condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Acceleration of high-resolution simulations of pollutants dispersion in atmosphere performed with a Lagrangian Particle Dispersion Model”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract: \nAtmospheric dispersion modelling is becoming increasingly important for the air quality assessment of urban environments\, especially in residential areas\, for regulatory purposes and to project pollution control strategies. Estimating urban air quality is challenging\, because of the intrinsic characteristics of cities atmospheric structure\, such as high density of primary emissions and presence of local dispersion processes\, that produce strong concentration gradients. Therefore\, very high spatial resolution simulations may often be required to improve the accuracy of estimations. Consequently\, the use of microscale atmospheric dispersion models in long-term studies and forecasting systems is growing. However\, this modelling can be ambitious because of the amount of time and CPU required for the simulations\, especially if the computational domain has a significant extension. \nThis work presents the use of kernel method as alternative to the common box-counting method to compute concentration inside the microscale Lagrangian Particle Dispersion Model PSPRAY. The kernel method allows a reduction of computational particles emitted during the simulation; it enables therefore to optimize the overall computational costs of the simulation\, ensuring at the same time results with an accuracy similar to that of box counting method. \nThe method has been tested to compute hourly ground concentration and deposition fields of gaseous and particulate pollutants emitted by point and linear sources\, evaluated both inside a domain divided in tiles and inside a nested domains configuration. The implementation inside PSPRAY has made possible to reduce the computational time of a simulation from 70% to 80%. Therefore\, it led to an enhancement of the efficiency of model and to a widening of its application field. \nThe PSPRAY model\, optimized with the kernel method\, has been already extensively applied to evaluate the impact of road emissions in the city of Rome\, in the frame of Italian research project BEEP (Big data in Environmental and occupational Epidemiology). This implementation allowed to perform a microscale simulation over the city\, considering a 12×12 km2 domain with a horizontal resolution of 4 m and producing hourly ground concentration fields of the pollutants for an entire year\, obtaining an average computational time of 3 hours per simulated day on an HPC (High Performance Computing) system with 180 cores. \nSpeaker’s bio: \nDaniela is a candidate of an Executive PhD in Environmental Engineering and Infrastructure (35° cycle) at Politecnico di Milano in collaboration with ARIANET s.r.l.\, of which she has been an employee since 2019\, after obtaining a Master of Science in Environmental And Land Planning Engineering at Politecnico di Milano. \nARIANET is an Italian consultant company in the field of atmospheric environment and Daniela is involved both in carrying out atmospheric impact studies and in the development of the used models\, in particular Lagrangian Particle Dispersion models. \nIn her free time\, Daniela enjoys reading books and travelling.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Numerical simulation of 3D Concrete Printing: challenges and opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 16 Maggio 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 Giacomo Rizzieri condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Numerical simulation of 3D Concrete Printing: challenges and opportunities”.  \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract: \n3D Concrete Printing (3DCP) is rapidly gaining momentum in the building industry\, as it could be the way to achieve a fully automatized and more sustainable construction process. However\, before a large-scale adoption of this technology takes place\, it is necessary to address some issues both at the practical and numerical levels. The development of reliable computational tools would provide a better understanding of the printing process\, while also enabling the prediction\, in a design framework\, of its outcomes. In this talk\, it is presented a numerical model to simulate the extrusion and layer deposition phases of cementitious materials. The model assimilates fresh concrete to a homogeneous weakly-compressible fluid and solves the Navier-Stokes equations in a Lagrangian framework with the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM). Different numerical challenges will be addressed regarding the imposition of time-dependent moving boundary conditions\, the accurate treatment of inter-layer contact and the reduction of the computational cost. \nSpeaker’s bio: \nGiacomo is a PhD Candidate in Structural\, Seismic and Geotechnical Engineering (37° cycle) at Politecnico di Milano. He has a Master of Science in Structural Engineering obtained in 2021 at Politecnico di Milano. Currently\, he is in the second year of his PhD and he is involved in the development of new computational tools to simulate 3D Concrete Printing. In his free time Giacomo enjoys hiking\, reading and watercolor painting.

One of the developing topic of research is characterised by bio-based structural materials\, in particular timber and engineered wood. Hybridisation of timber with other materials provides many advantages\, as better performances e.g. in case of seismic loads\, minor construction times and lower environmental impact. The topic of this talk focuses of some innovative research aspects of timber-hybrid structures\, first of all considering some numerical modeling benchmark analyses with issues specifically linked with timber orthotropy and contacts among other materials and secondly a comparative Life Cycle Assessment analysis where two equivalent buildings are compared and the role of connectors is highlighted. The perspective of this presentation suggests an overview of the interdisciplinarity of this topic\, where traditional structural problems are tackled together with sustainability issues. \nSpeaker’s bio: \nLaura graduated with a Master in Civil Engineering for Risk Mitigation (CERM) in Politecnico di Milano in 2021. She is currently enrolled in the second year of the PhD programme in Structural\, Seismic\, and Environmental Engineering (XXXVII cycle) at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering of Politecnico di Milano. She is involved in the modeling\, testing and development of timber-concrete hybrid composites\, with a special focus on sustainability. In the free time Laura enjoys going to the theater\, hiking and swimming.

SUMMARY:The role of Social Hotspot analysis in waste management: assessing sectoral social impacts for a better understanding of social risks
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 18 Aprile 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 Giuseppe Cecere condurrà un seminario dal titolo “The role of Social Hotspot analysis in waste management: assessing sectoral social impacts for a better understanding of social risks”.\nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAbstract: \nSocial Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) is a methodology developed to assess the negative and positive social impacts of products and services\, along their life cycle. The new Guidelines for Social Life Cycle Assessment of Products together with the Methodological Sheets\, published in 2021 by the United Nations Environment Programme\, provide a roadmap to help stakeholders in the assessment of social impacts of products’ life cycles. However\, applications are hindered by the high sensitivity of the data under investigation and the relative novelty of the methodology. The Social Hotspot analysis allows\, as a preventive measure and through secondary data\, to identify the social issues that should be focused on during risk assessment. This type of analysis that allows the identification of the most sensitive themes can be used as a first step in the application of the S-LCA. In the waste sector\, the application of methodologies to assess social impacts could be particularly useful. Waste management facilities often suffer from strong protests both during construction and operation. Phenomena such as Not In My Backyard (NIMBY) syndrome and Locally Unwanted Land Use (LULU) are very common during the planning and implementation of this type of facilities. Most of these objections are often due to a bad communication approach on both sides and a denial of potential social and environmental impacts by plant operators. Using the Product Social Impact Life Cycle Assessment (PSILCA) database\, this study aims to identify the social hotspots that characterise the waste and wastewater management industry sector in the Italian context. In order to create a suitable reference scale\, the results for Italy were compared with the results of several European countries. The result is an industrial sector risk assessment\, calibrated on the European context\, which can be used as a first step in the evaluation of subcategories and indicators to be prioritised in the assessment of social impacts in the context of waste and wastewater management facilities. \nSpeaker’s bio: \nGiuseppe is a PhD Candidate in Environmental and Infrastracture Engineering (37° cycle) at Politecnico di Milano. Since 2020\, he has been working with the AWARE research group.  For his PhD project\, he is working on the application of Life Cycle Thinking methodologies to the waste management sector.  He holds a Master’s degree from the University of Padua and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Naples ‘Federico II’.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | A methodology to assess the evolution of mechanical performance of UHPC as affected by autogenous healing under sustained loadings and aggressive exposure conditions
DESCRIPTION:La serie di seminari PhDTalks riprende con il primo appuntamento del 2023 che si terrà martedì 4 Aprile\, dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4a – Piazza Leonardo da Vinci\, 32). \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. \nIn questa occasione\, il seminario sarà condotto da Marco Davolio e il titolo dell’intervento sarà “A methodology to assess the evolution of mechanical performance of UHPC as affected by autogenous healing under sustained loadings and aggressive exposure conditions“. \nSarà anche possibile seguire l’evento online accedendo alla stanza WebEx. \nAbstract: \nThis study investigates the evolution of the performance of an Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) under simultaneous action of sustained loading and aggressive environmental exposure. UHPC mixes were investigated containing different functionalising micro- and nano-scale components to promote autogenous self-healing. In order to assess the healing capabilities in the different multi-action scenarios and the evolution of the mechanical response of the material over time\, a tailored methodology was implemented\, including non-destructive and destructive tests performed all along the scheduled exposure/healing times up to 12 months. In particular\, an innovative set-up was designed to reproduce on the specimens the sustained flexural loading conditions a structure undergoes during its service life; the load was applied simultaneously with each of the three selected different exposures\, to simulate the chloride and sulphate aggressive environments\, besides a reference one. Multiple indices were defined to quantify the self-healing efficiency\, which were further calibrated against experimental microscope crack observation as well as cross correlated with each other\, as a further proof of the reliability of the proposed methodology. Two nominally identical specimens were tested for each condition\, the first in four-point bending and the second in direct tension. To compare the results\, a simplified five-point inverse analysis was adapted for beams with different slenderness\, providing a quadrilinear constitutive law derived from the structural flexural behaviour of four-point bending tests. The results confirmed the material durability\, especially in the cracked state\, through its capacity of sealing the cracks and restoring original properties in short periods and preserving its load bearing capacity\, thus providing solid argument for UHPC as the ideal candidate material for highly durable and sustainable structural applications in aggressive scenarios. \nSpeaker’s bio \nMarco is a Ph.D. Candidate in Structural\, Seismic\, and Geotechnical Engineering (38th cycle) at Politecnico di Milano. He has BSc and MSc in Building Engineering and experience as a structural designer in a professional studio. Marco is currently developing carbon capture and uptake strategies for cementitious materials to reduce the environmental impact of the concrete construction industry. He is also cooperating with international companies such as Cemex and Energy Vault for the experimental fatigue characterization of Steel Fibre Reinforced Concretes and studying self-healing of Ultra-High Performance Concretes in the framework of European projects.

SUMMARY:IAHR Groundwater Webinar | Roles of Uncertainty in the Assessment of Subsurface Flow and Transport
DESCRIPTION:Giovedì 2 Marzo si svolgerà un Webinair di IAHR dal titolo “Roles of Uncertainty in the Assessment of Subsurface Flow and Transport” tenuto dal Prof. Alberto Guadagnini\, Professore di Idraulica presso il Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile ed Ambientale. \nAbstract: \nModern models of flow and transport across environmental and industrial porous media have reached a remarkable level of complexity\, with the aim of capturing the nature of target phenomena and processes. The level of complexity of these models could hamper unambiguous understanding of relationships among model inputs and outputs of interest. This is a critical aspect in a variety of scenarios\, including flow and reactive transport in heterogenous aquifers and sustainable use of underground resources. All of these settings are associated with multiple sources of uncertainty. These are typically linked to (i) our conceptual understanding of how a natural system functions and the possibility of depicting its key features through various modeling approaches/formulations\, (ii) our knowledge of model parameters and/or initial and boundary conditions\, and (iii) the amount of available data/information and the scale with which these are associated. In this broad context\, emphasis is here devoted to model diagnosis through (moment- and distribution- based) local and global sensitivity analyses embedding model\, process\, and parameter uncertainty. Exemplary applications encompass a variety of scales (from pore- to field-scale) and processes\, including reactive chemical transport and contaminants of emerging concern. \nPer maggiori informazioni e per seguire la live fai click qui. \n

SUMMARY:Seismic Design and Structural Reliability: how it started vs how it is going
DESCRIPTION:Mercoledì 1 Febbraio si svolgerà presso l’Aula Magna (Edificio 1 – Piazza Leonardo da Vinci\, 32) un seminario dal titolo “Seismic design and structural reliability: how it started vs how it is going” tenuto dal Prof. Iunio Iervolino\, Professore di Tecnica delle Costruzioni presso l’Università di Napoli Federico II e presso lo IUSS di Pavia. \nAbstract: \nModern era building codes generally state accepted levels of structural reliability. However\, in the case of seismic action\, design is often performed via a (largely) simplified version of performance-based design\, in which only the design ground motion intensity is established based on an explicit probabilistic approach. It follows that\, not only the reliability achieved by design is not known to the practitioner\, but also that structures of different typologies and/or with different construction site\, may show failure probabilities differing by orders of magnitude. In the seminar this is shown with reference to the case of structures (i.e.\, buildings and bridges) designed according to the current Italian building code\, which has large similarities with Eurocode 8. It is also discussed that the main causes are to be searched in the lumped use of site-specific probabilistic seismic hazard\, and the code-prescribed minima (including in this the effect of gravity-load design) in areas of low-to-moderate seismicity. Nevertheless\, despite these known limitations\, it is also shown that the current approach to seismic design has led to a systematic improvement of structural reliability with respect to the approaches pursued in now-obsolete building codes. Finally\, the current trends toward the evolution of seismic design are briefly highlighted. \nSpeaker’s bio: \nIunio Iervolino is full professor of Structural Engineering at the University of Naples Federico II and at IUSS of Pavia.

SUMMARY:Incineration of municipal sludge – Challenges and opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Giovedì 19 Gennaio si svolgerà presso l’aula Castigliano (Edificio 5\, piano – terra)\, un seminario dal titolo “Incineration of municipal sludge – challenges and opportunities” tenuto dal Prof. Tine Seljak\, Professore della facoltà di Ingegneria Meccanica presso l’Università di Lubiana (Slovenia). \nAbstract: \nWith improvements in communal infrastructure and efficient wastewater collection and treatment\, wastewater sludge quantities increased substantially in the recent decades. Being treated as undesired waste at first\, the introduction of circular thinking shed a light on its role as a useful side-stream and a valuable source of secondary raw materials. Several processes are being developed for safe use of sludge in agriculture\, however many types are still facing a challenge of contamination and heterogeneity which require robust treatment approaches. \nWith incineration being the most wide-spread practice\, high sludge moisture and inorganic content require specific approaches to maximize its environmental acceptability and yield a suitable residue\, while possibly playing a role of bioenergy source. The seminar will focus on the balance between these roles by exposing the challenges related to thermal treatment\, associated technical developments and impact of upcoming legislative improvements\, which together will draft the philosophy for future design of sludge incineration systems. \nSpeaker’s bio: \nTine Seljak is an assistant professor at University of Ljubljana\, Faculty of mechanical engineering. His research work is focused primarily on thermo-chemical conversion processes including combustion\, incineration and gasification together with their integration in energy systems and in the concept of circular economy.  He is co-leading Sustainable energy pillar within Strategic research and innovation partnership for Circular economy in Slovenia and holding lectures on Advanced combustion concepts and Energy in circular economy at University of Ljubljana master programmes.

SUMMARY:Hydropeaking: a multiscale perspective
DESCRIPTION:Giovedì 24 Novembre si svolgerà presso l’aula Donatori (Edificio 1\, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci\, 32)\, un seminario dal titolo “Hydropeaking: a multiscale perspective” tenuto dal Prof. Gabriele Chiogna\, Professore di Idrologia e Gestione dei Bacini Idrografici presso l’Università Tecnica di Monaco (TUM – Germania). \nSarà anche possibile seguire l’evento online tramite il seguente link: http://bit.ly/3tDhhU0 \nAbstract: \nHydropeaking\, i.e.\, the discontinuous release of turbined water due to peaks of energy demand\, causes artificial flow and river stage fluctuations downstream of hydropower plants. Such fluctuations have important consequences for the hydrological cycle\, sediment transport\, surface water-groundwater interaction and the quality of the riverine ecosystem. It is hence of utmost importance to improve our understanding of the processes affected by hydropeaking at multiple spatial and temporal scales. This presentation aims at covering different and interdisciplinary research aspects focusing on hydropeaking. We will present the consequences of hydropeaking at the catchment scale\, how they changed in the past decades due to changes in legislation and the energy market and the role of hydropeaking in the context of energy complementarity. We will then focus on the effects of sudden river stage fluctuations at the reach scale and their impact on surface water-groundwater interaction and eventually on energy and mass transfer processes\, considering seasonal and sub-daily time scales. Finally\, laboratory scale investigations will show the effects of hydropeaking on solute mixing in porous aquifers. The environmental impact of hydropeaking on the ecosystem calls for effective mitigation strategies and policies to find a sustainable compromise between energy production and ecosystem preservation.

SUMMARY:Lumped Damage Mechanics and Nash non-cooperative Equilibrium Points
DESCRIPTION:Mercoledì 23 Novembre si svolgerà presso l’aula 3.1.1\, un seminario dal titolo “Lumped Damage Mechanics and Nash non-cooperative Equilibrium Points” tenuto dal Prof. Julio Flórez-López\, Professore di Ingegneria Civile dell’Università di Chongqing (Cina). \nSummary: \nThe mathematical problem corresponding to classical continuum damage mechanics can be defined as a non-cooperative equilibrium point. This concept is also named after its inventor\, the mathematician John Forbes Nash\, as Nash’s point. \nNash’s formulations are incorporated into a wide range of disciplines\, especially in economics and game theory. Be  the profit function of a player ; be  the variables controlled by this player and  (with ) the remaining factors that affect his/her earnings. The optimization process of the profit function can be written as:  for any admissible . Consider now a game with  players. Each of them will try to optimize a different gain function considering its own strategy  and the strategies  of the remaining players. A Nash equilibrium is reached when the 𝑛 inequalities are verified simultaneously\, thereby optimizing all the profit functions and leaving the players with no incentive to change their strategies. \nIn the case of elasticity coupled to continuous damage\, the Nash point depends on only two “players”. The independent variables of the problem are the displacement and continuous damage fields. The first of the functional inequalities corresponds to the principle of the minimum potential energy for a non-homogeneous structure whose elastic properties depend on local damage values. The second inequality is a variational formulation of the damage evolution law. Therefore\, the first inequality depends on the free energy accumulated in the structure and the second on the energy dissipated by damage. The equilibrium state is the result of a “game” in which one of the “players” tries to transform mechanical work into reversible energy\, and the other tries to dissipate it by degrading the mechanical properties of the material. \nAs it is well known\, continuum damage mechanics gives objective numerical results only before localization as defined by the Rice and Rudniki criterion. This criterion describes the conditions for the appearance of discontinuities in the displacement and damage fields. Lumped damage mechanics (LDM) is based on the following description of the process of energy dissipation. In a first phase\, the dissipation is continuous and can be described using some continuum damage model. This phase ends when the location criterion is verified. In the second phase\, the dissipation can be considered as concentrated in areas of zero volume (lumped damage) and is a consequence of the evolution of the discontinuities. Nash’s formulation offers an interpretation of the non-objectivity of classical damage models and a procedure for regularize them: the variational inequality of energy dissipation lacks a term of lumped dissipation; as the classical models do not specify how much and how this dissipation evolves\, the problem may exhibit an infinite number of solutions; in LDM\, an “extra player” is added whose variational inequality describes the lumped damage evolution law\, therefore completing the description of the phenomenon. In this seminar\, the numerical implementation of LDM models in conventional finite element programs is also described\, objectivity is shown in all the phases of the process and the formulation results are compared with experimental analyses. Additionally\, it is shown that classical damage and cohesive fracture mechanics can be considered as particular cases of the LDM formulation. \nLDM\, as the theory of plasticity\, can also be used for the analysis of plates\, shells\, beams and frames. In those cases\, plastic hinges or hinge lines are generalized including lumped damage variables. In the last part of the seminar\, a simplified model of these characteristics is presented and its consequences in the field of reliability and stochastic analysis of complex structures are analyzed. It is demonstrated that the use of LDM allows to significantly increase the limits of validity of any numerical statistical method\, for example\, the Monte Carlo one.

SUMMARY:Innovazione tecnologica per un uso sostenibile della risorsa idrica in agricoltura. Lombardia – Israele: esperienze a confronto
DESCRIPTION:Mercoledì 16 novembre presso la sede del Consiglio regionale in Milano\, via Fabio Filzi 22\, sala Gonfalone\, si terrà il convegno “Innovazione tecnologica per un uso sostenibile della risorsa idrica in agricoltura. Lombardia – Israele: esperienze a confronto”. \nL’evento inizierà si svolgerà dalle ore 15:00 alle ore 17:15 e sarà possibile seguirlo in diretta streaming al cliccando qui. \n \nAlle ore 16:30 è prevista una tavola rotonda in cui verrà presentato “Irrigazione di precisione e fonti idriche integrative per un bilancio idrico sostenibile: il progetto Smarties ed esempi pilota” a cura di Marco Mancini\, A. Guadagnini\, C. Corbari\, G.Ravazzani\, A. Ceppi\, N. Paciolla\,  M. Feki\, G. Lombardi\, (DICA Politecnico di Milano). \nAbstract: \nL’irrigazione è una delle principali utenze idriche e ha un impatto significativo nel bilancio idrologico dei bacini idrografici. A fronte di ciò è oggi generalmente caratterizzata da una bassa efficienza\, (si osserva in modo proporzionale alla disponibilità di acqua delle aree irrigue) e quindi potenzialmente oggetto di azioni di importanti miglioramenti. Questi sono ottenibili colmando la grande differenza nei sistemi irrigui tra quelli moderni ad elevata tecnologia e le antiche pratiche tradizionali\, generalmente molto più diffuse. \nI cambiamenti climatici e la pressione antropica insieme alle pratiche irrigue tradizionali hanno già  evidenziato  i conflitti tra energia\, cibo e acqua\, che sono destinati ad aumentare anche in territori tradizionalmente ricchi di quest’ultima\, come la Lombardia. \nIl miglioramento dell’efficienza nell’uso dell’acqua nell’agricoltura\, (il rapporto tra fabbisogno idrico irriguo e approvvigionamento irriguo)\, è un’esigenza immediata della società umana per sostenere la sicurezza alimentare globale\, preservare la qualità e la quantità delle risorse idriche\, mitigare le cause di povertà\, di migrazioni e conflitti tra gli stati. \nLa necessità di un uso sostenibile dell’acqua è un “must”; e il miglioramento dell’efficienza dell’irrigazione su vaste aree con le moderne tecniche è una delle azioni più rilevanti da sviluppare per la riduzione dei conflitti idrici e come mezzo di adattamento ai cambiamenti climatici. \nL’innovazione tecnologica e la ricerca scientifica a supporto “dell’irrigazione di precisione” sono di fatto un potente strumento per un uso sostenibile dell’acqua\, a supporto dell’agricoltura e anche della gestione delle opere idrauliche\, che regolano la distribuzione irrigua. Tuttavia l’innovazione tecnologica e la sua diffusione è percepita socialmente in modo maggiore in quei territori caratterizzati da scarsità\, se non mancanza di acqua che\, non in quelli  tradizionalmente ricchi. \nTra i vari aspetti dell’innovazione tecnologica\, una rilevante importanza ha l’uso congiunto di: dati satellitari misure idrologiche al suolo continue nel tempo e modelli matematici distribuiti\, che risolvono le equazioni di bilancio idrico ed energetico sul dominio del “pixel” (cella elementare in cui è suddivisa la superfice del bacino idrografico). Tale tecnologia è uno strumento operativo promettente nell’irrigazione di precisione alla scala del campo\, ma anche di vasti territori irrigui significativi sul bilancio idrico alla scala di bacino idrografico non solo nei nostri paesi\, ma anche in quelli emergenti. \nLa presentazione mostra esperienze in diverse aree della Lombardia\, come il bacino del fiume Chiese e il lago d’Idro e in altre aree agricole\, caratterizzate da climi diversi e  colture come mais\, pomodori\, frutteti e vigneti\, mostrando dove e come un’irrigazione di precisione e fonti irrigue alternative\, caratteristiche del territorio lombardo\, possano essere sinergiche a un bilancio idrico sostenibile.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Assessment of hydraulic roughness due to arboreal vegetation
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 25 Ottobre nell’aula 3.1.4\, dalle 18:15 alle 19:15 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 Verónica Herrera Gómez condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Assessment of hydraulic roughness due to arboreal vegetation”.  \nAbstract: \nAlthough vegetation is essential for a healthy ecosystem\, its uncontrolled expansion can eventually lead to critical issues for river management. When rivers overflow\, the floodplain vegetation reduces the flow area\, increasing hydraulic roughness\, water levels\, and flood risk.\nIn this talk\, flow resistance due to arboreal vegetation will be discussed from an experimental study and a field application by using a two-dimensional model. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSe sei interessato a presentare durante uno di questi eventi\, invia una e-mail a chiara.recalcati@polimi.it .

SUMMARY:How can structural engineers contribute to sustainability?
DESCRIPTION:Giovedì 6 Ottobre si svolgerà presso l’aula Beltrami (Edificio 5)\, un seminario dal titolo “How can structural engineers contribute to sustainability?” tenuto dal Prof. Gabriel Sas\, Professore di Ingegneria Strutturale nella divisione di Ingegneria Strutturale e Antincendio presso l’University of Technology di Luleå\, Svezia.  \nAbstract:  \nToday the world builds at an unprecedented pace. Construction industry is responsible for about 40 per cent of the world’s carbon footprint. For a sustainable development we need to keep the 1.5-degree target\, and we must reduce this number drastically by 2030. The challenge is how we find the balance between the safety of the structures and the financial and environmental costs of building and maintaining them. We need new methods to predict the life span of existing structures\, solutions to extend their life and how can we quantify the impact of different decisions on the life length of a structure. Gabriel Sas\, Professor of Structural Engineering at Luleå University of Technology\, will discuss how structural engineers can contribute to promoting sustainability through sustainable-conscious structural assessment.   \nSpeaker’s Biosketch:  \nGabriel Sas\, born 1981\, is Chaired Professor of Structural Engineering in the division of Structural and Fire Engineering at Luleå University of Technology\, Sweden. He obtained his PhD at the same university in 2011 and became Docent in 2017. \nBefore taking his current position in 2020\, Gabriel’s work focused on large structures such as concrete bridges and dams with the aim to increasing their life length. Gabriel has been involved during his career in four full scale tests of bridges and he has developed methods for monitoring bridges and concrete dams using digital image correlation and methods to strengthen bridges using FRPs.\nHis research is primarily concerned with promoting sustainability by prolonging the life of existing bridges. When solving complex problems such as determining the capacity of an existing bridge\, he favors multidisciplinary approaches in which the strengths of one method compensate for the weaknesses of another. This requires the seamless and resource-effective intertwining of diverse methods including numerical analysis\, monitoring\, condition assessment\, structural testing\, and reliability analysis such that one always applies the right tool or method at the right step.\nHis other research interests include the behavior of novel materials and structures made from next generation engineered materials such as UHPC\, structures made from materials recycled from demolitions\, and the structural safety of structures exposed to elevated temperatures.

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Formulation and probabilistic assessment of Diclofenac fate in a soilwater system under uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 20 Settembre in Aula Magna\, Piazza Leonardo da Vinci\, 42\, dalle 17:30 alle 19:15 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 Laura Ceresa condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Formulation and probabilistic assessment of Diclofenac fate in a soilwater system under uncertainty”.  \nAbstract: \nDrinking water resources are threatened by several contaminants. Among these\, Diclofenac (Dcf) poses major concerns due to its persistent and bioactive nature. Developing predictive tools to interpret its fate is then key to drive environmental protection actions. The modeling framework presented in this PhD talk is based on conceptualizing the molecular dynamics of Dcf biodegradation in a selected soil-water system. The geochemical model is subject to stochastic calibration through Acceptance-Rejection Sampling. The associated results fully embed uncertainty quantification and show that data scarcity and/or redundant model parametrization might deteriorate the quality of some parameter estimates. The issue is addressed by reducing the complexity of the model. The resulting formulations are framed within a multi-model context where the performance of each (re-calibrated) candidate model is assessed (in a relative sense) through the Kashyap identification criterion. The results suggest that an optimal trade-off in terms of model complexity (i.e.\, level of parametrization) given data availability can be assessed to satisfactorily interpret the system dynamics. \nSarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link. \nAl termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento. \nSe sei interessato a presentare durante uno di questi eventi\, invia una e-mail a chiara.recalcati@polimi.it .

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Aerodynamic noise generation in ducted flows
DESCRIPTION:We are glad to announce that our next PhDTalks Seminar will be held on Tuesday 19 July in room 3.1.6 from 6:15 pm to 7:15 pm CET.  \nPhDTalks is a series of seminars and discussions between PhD students. The events are aimed at providing a place to network and get in contact with many of the projects developed in our department.  \nSpeaker Luca Nicola Quaroni will talk about “Aerodynamic noise generation in ducted flows”.  \n \nAbstract:  \nFlow-control devices are fundamental components in fluid distribution systems. They work by dissipating excess mechanical energy through turbulence and\, in gas flows\, aerodynamic noise is produced as a by-product. The confinement of ducts profoundly influences the propagation of sound and its transmission to the outside environment. In this PhD talk\, the results of an experimental campaign on an air flow facility are presented.   \nYou can watch the event online by clicking here.  \nAt the end of each event a small refreshment funded by the department will be available.  \nThese events are self organised by PhD students and speakers are chosen on a voluntary basis.\n \nIf you are interested in presenting during one of these events\, please send an email to andrea.opreni@polimi.it if you belong to the ISSG programme or to chiara.recalcati@polimi.it if you are attending the IAI programme.

SUMMARY:SUMMER SCHOOL 2022 | Performance\, Protection & Strengthening of Structures under Extreme Loading
DESCRIPTION:From 8 to 13 July the Summer School 2022 will take place at the Lecco Campus. \nThe new trends adopted in standards to face the structure safety in case of exceptional loads conditions will be presented. An introduction to blast and impact behaviour will be carried out by Prof. Alejandro Perez Caldentey\, followed by the exposition of numerical procedures to model blast\, fire and impact actions and their reliability when compared to experimental tests proposed by Prof. Ozbolt. Then prof. Taerwe illustrated the effectiveness of reinforced concrete when exposed to fire. Finally prof. di Prisco spoke about the possibility to improve the bearing capacity of tunnel segments when exposed to blast and fire by using layered high performance fibre reinforced solutions. \nCourse description: \nThe course on Performance\, protection\, strengthening of structures under extreme loading is offered to PhD students in Civil and Structural Engineering and MS Engineers interested to deepen the computation of structural safety of constructions subjected to exceptional loads like\, fire\, blast and impact. \nThe attendants come usually from different Universities and are Italian and foreigners. It will be offered in Hybrid modalities: in presence and in remote configuration. The official language is English. The lecturers come from four different countries: Germany\, Belgium\, Spain and Italy. \nFor the in-presence attendants\, the socialization will be favoured by the social events organized during the week-end: a trip on Lake Como and its famous villas on Saturday afternoon and an excursion to the mountains dominating the lake Como on Sunday. \nThe course is arrived to its third edition: the previous editions were nicely appreciated by both the attendants and the lecturers. The slide presented will be distributed to all the participants\, as well as many literature references. A certificate of attendance will be distributed as the end of the course. \nAt the end of the course a multiple choise form will be distributed: a minimum of 18 correct answers over 32 questions will be required to obtain the recognizing of the CFP Credits (continuous formation planned in Italy for the practitioners). A homework related to a design example will be proposed to all the PhD students: they will have around 2 months to perform it. A final discussion of the homework will be planned to obtain the final evaluation and the ECTs credits. \n  \nYou can download the registration form and the programme by cliking here. \n  \n

SUMMARY:PhDTalks | Data-Driven Modelling of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems
DESCRIPTION:We are glad to announce that our next PhDTalks Seminar will be held on Tuesday 5 July in room 3.1.6 from 6:15 pm to 7:15 pm CET. \nPhDTalks is a series of seminars and discussions between PhD students. The events are aimed at providing a place to network and get in contact with many of the projects developed in our department. \nSpeaker Paolo Conti will talk about “Data-Driven Modelling of Nonlinear Dynamical Systems”. \n  \n \nAbstract: \nData driven modelling is an emerging research field that aims to identify physical models from measurements. This is a crucial new direction because the governing equations of many problems might not be known a priori. How to leverage data from different sources? How to correctly identify the dimensionality of the dynamics? How to exploit the identified model? In this talk we will answer these questions and propose novel strategies to identify models directly from data. \nYou can watch the event online by clicking here. \nAt the end of each event a small refreshment funded by the department will be available. \nThese events are self organised by PhD students and speakers are chosen on a voluntary basis.\nIf you are interested in presenting during one of these events\, please send an email to andrea.opreni@polimi.it if you belong to the ISSG programme or to chiara.recalcati@polimi.it if you are attending the IAI programme.
