Villaggi industriali in Lombardia tra passato e futuro

In occasione del convegno internazionale organizzato dalla Facoltà di Ingegenria dell'Università di Salerno "Le case e i luoghi del lavoro. Letture e confronti" la scrivente ha presentato una ricerca inedita sui villaggi industriali realizzati in Lombardia tra la fine dell'Ottocento e gli inizi del Novecento in quanto questi rappresentano casi esemplari di organizzazione di nuclei abitati comprensivi dell'area residenziale e di quella della fabbrica. Il villaggio di Crespi d'Adda in provincia di Bergamo mantiene intatti i caratteri originari ed è già patrimonio culturale, ma in molti altri villaggi industriali non è più attiva la produzione della fabbrica e la riconversione dello stabilimento comporta inevitabilmente una riflessione sulle residenze ad esso connesse. Si illustrano alcuni casi di condizioni al contorno differenti e si presenta in dettaglio il caso di Campione sul Garda dove è in corso un progetto di riqualificazione che implica interventi anche sul sistema infrastrutturale del lago

Effect of silica fume additions on the hydration behaviour of calcium aluminates

In the recent refractory castables technology, the calcium aluminate cement is being replaced in increasing proportion by very fine matrix components, such as silica fume and colloidal alumina. More efficient particle packing and the resulting lower water requirements have been the proposed explanation for the improved green density and strength, without sacrificing the castable workability. However, the aluminates are still responsible for the hydraulic setting of the castable. The hydration mechanisms of single calcium aluminates, and mixtures thereof, synthesised by combustion reaction of the appropriate nitrate-urea mixtures, were recently investigated. The present work describes the effect of silica time additions on the hydration behaviour of pure single calcium aluminates, also produced by combustion reaction. Results on the hydration mechanisms, the microstructure development and the resulting physical and/or mechanical properties of the hydrated samples, as a tiction of the water/cement ratio and the silica content, me presented and discussed.JNICT-Portugal - PALOP/24

Comunità rom nella provincia di Napoli: l’esperienza di conoscenza di una diversa realtà insediativa, la redazione delle linee-guida e la progettazione dei villaggi - Rom community in the province of Naples: the experience of knowledge of a different settlement, the drafting of guidelines and the design of villages

L’idea dell’assessorato alla Pace, all’Immigrazione ed alla Cooperazione Internazionale della Provinciale di Napoli, di sottoporre al mondo accademico il cosiddetto “problema rom”, nacque nel 2006 dalla volontà di rispondere all’ormai storica emergenza dei “campi nomadi”, legata alle condizioni di forte degrado igienico-sanitario ed infrastrutturale in cui tuttora, purtroppo, versano questi luoghi. La richiesta all’università fu quella di condurre un’analisi, coordinata dalla prof.ssa Marina Fumo, sugli insediamenti rom, spontanei e non, presenti nella provincia, per poter elaborare delle linee-guida alla realizzazione di nuove e più idonee soluzioni residenziali. In 2006 the Provincial Administration of Naples has given the start to a study on the local gipsy’s settlements. The aim was developing knowledge to face the emergencies caused by poor hygiene and lacking infrastructure in these spontaneous settlements. Coordinated by Marina Fumo the research produced guidelines to adequate residential solutions. The open- source survey was the method applied for the analysis and for draft representation, allowing the identification of identity-shaping elements, not deductible from traditional cartography

An Integrated Decision Support System for the Sustainable Reuse of the Former Monastery of “Ritiro del Carmine” in Campania Region

Nowadays, many public administrations have abandoned and underused heritage buildings due to a lack of public resources, although the effective contribution of cultural heritage as a driver and enabler of sustainable development is strongly recognized. Currently, investments in cultural heritage have multidimensional impacts (social, economic, historical, and cultural) and can contribute to increasing overall local productivity; improving the wellbeing of inhabitants; and attracting funding from the public, private, and private–social sectors. Lack of public resources has pushed local administrations to favor new forms of valorization of public property that can promote the “adaptive reuse” of historic buildings in order to preserve their social, historical, and cultural values. At the same time, administrations seek to stimulate the experimentation of new circular business, financing, and governance models in heritage conservation, creating synergies between multiple actors; reducing the use of resources; and regenerating values, knowledge, and capital. The objective of this paper is to propose an integrated evaluation model, based on multicriteria analysis, and a financial model to support the choice of an alternative reuse of an ancient monastery in the municipality of Mugnano in the Campania region in order to define a “shared strategy” based on a “bottom-up” approach. This starts from the needs of the local community but does not neglect the historical and cultural values of the heritage building, as well as the economic and financial feasibility. The positive results obtained show that the model proposed can be a useful decision support tool in environments characterized by high complexity such as cultural heritage sites, where the objective is to precisely highlight the elements that influence the dynamics of choice for building shared bottom-up development strategies

Innovative methods on territorial vulnerability study for the preparation of emergency plans

In recent years, we have witnessed natural events that have had impressive effects on the city and its inhabitants, highlighting a great vulnerability of the territories. In this context, the National Civil Protection has forced local administrations to adopt an Emergency Plan based on risk analysis. The proposed contribution illustrates the application of an innovative methodology that focuses, for the estimation of the vulnerability, on the urban / construction analysis and the operation of emergency health care facilities

Seismic rehabilitation of cultural heritage masonry buildings with unbonded fiber reinforced elastomeric isolators (U-FREIs) \u2013 A case of study

In order to assess the structural behavior and to evaluate the seismic vulnerability of masonry structuresof relevant historical and artistic significance, which is a widespread building type in Italy and in the world,an historical masonry church is analyzed under earthquake loading. Linear and non-linear analyses areperformed on the finite element models of the structure. From these analyses it is pointed out that thestructure does not behave elastically in its existing condition even when subjected to the frequent designearthquake (81% probability of being exceeded over 50 years). Two traditional rehabilitation methods arestudied: the placement of a rigid diaphragm which connects the top of the masonry walls only enclosingthe church entrance area and the placement of a rigid diaphragm which connects the tops of all masonrywalls. None of the traditional method is sufficient for the structure to survive basic design earthquake(10% probability of being exceeded over 50 years). Hence an advanced seismic retrofit solution usinginnovative carbon fiber reinforced elastomeric isolators is proposed. The proposed intervention consistsin the installation of six Unbonded Fiber-Reinforced Elastomeric Isolators (U-FREI) and six Flat SurfaceSliders (FSS) as passive protective devices besides the placement of a rigid diaphragm which connects thetops of all masonry walls. The process of installation of the devices is illustrated. The use of the proposedsolution leads to a remarkable enhancement of the seismic response capacities of the structure; indeeda general elastic response under the Basic Design Earthquake (BDE) is attained
