Favara Farm Cultural Park. Una sequenza non lineare. A non-linear sequence
2018
Questo saggio propone una riflessione sulla Farm Cultural Parck come luogo in trasformazione. Il progetto Farm descrive una vita quotidiana che non è attratta dalle tendenze della moda. Per questo motivo, come in un viaggio diacronico, si descrive la trasformazione urbana latente e l'emergere di una nuova consapevolezza nella difficile situazione locale. This essay proposes a reflection on the Farm Cultural Parck as a place in transformation. The Farm project describes a daily life that is not attracted to fashion trends. For this reason, as in a diachronic trip, we describe the latent urban transformation and the emergence of a new awareness in the difficult local situation.
Frictional effects in structural behavior of no-end-connected steel-jacketed RC columns: Experimental results and new approaches to model numerical a…
2017
Steel jacketing of reinforced concrete (RC) columns is a common retrofitting technique used to restore bearing and deformation capacity of buildings presenting structural deficiencies. For practical reasons, steel angles are in several cases arranged leaving a gap with the end beams or slabs. Despite this disconnection, the angles are still able to support a non-negligible portion of load because of the frictional forces developed along the column-angle contact interface. In these cases, the definition of computational numerical and analytical models for the assessment of reinforced cross sections becomes more complex and must be handled with care. The actual load-carrying capacity of the a…
