Descrizione e Attività
Descrizione Generale
Earthquake and landslide risk is a public safety issue that requires appropriate mitigation measures and means to protect citizens, property, infrastructure and the built cultural heritage. Mitigating this risk requires integrated and coordinated action that embraces a wide range of organisations and disciplines. For this reason, the LESSLOSS IP is formulated by a large number of European Centres of excellence in earthquake and geotechnical engineering integrating in the traditional fields of engineers and earth scientists some expertise of social scientists, economists, urban planners and information technologists. The LESSLOSS project addresses natural disasters, risk and impact assessment, natural hazard monitoring, mapping and management strategies, improved disaster preparedness and mitigation, development of advanced methods for risk assessment, methods of appraising environmental quality and relevant pre-normative research. In order for the multi-disciplinary S&T ingredients of the project to be tackled in an efficient and productive manner, the research programme has been split into three distinct areas: physical environment, urban areas and infrastructures. For each one of this areas four main types of transversal fields have been identified as fundamental and capable of producing permanent effects on risk mitigation:
(i) instrumentation and monitoring,
(ii) methods and technologies to reduce vulnerability,
(iii) innovative approaches for design/assessment and
(iv) disaster scenarios and loss modelling. Within this general framework, specific objectives will be pursued, such as the development of innovative methods and approaches to design and assessment of structures and earth slopes for both short- and long-term implementation, the development of advanced monitoring techniques and devices, and the development, manufacturing and testing of innovative isolating and dissipating seismic devices.
Attività svolta da ENEA
Coordinamento del sub project 6 "Development and Manufacturing of Energy Dissipation Devices and Seismic isolators"; supporto alla progettazione di dispositivi antisismici innovativi e di strutture di essi dotate; implementazione di modelli numerici altamente non lineari atti a prevedere e riprodurre il comportamento dei succitati dispositivi e delle strutture da essi dotate; effettuazione di prove sperimentali su tavola vibrante per il collaudo dei succitati dispositivi e delle strutture di essi dotate; analisi e interpretazione dei risultati sperimentali al fine di validare i succitati modelli numerici; valutazione dei benefici tecnico economici legati all'utilizzo dei succitati dispositivi.
