Urban Ventilation

Urban Ventilation

The research focuses on the study of urban ventilation through laboratory experiments conducted in a hydraulic channel. The aim is to improve knowledge of the effect of trees on streets, and in particular how they interact with wind and pollutants emitted by vehicular traffic. The study is conducted on small-scale models, reproducing both ideal cases and real situations, such as small city neighborhoods.

Predicted and observed settlements induced by the mechanized tunnel excavation of metro line C near S. Giovanni station in Rome

This paper deals with the effects induced by the mechanized excavation of Rome metro line C in the area of an old masonry building, the Carducci school. Class A settlements predictions are obtained performing full 3D soil-tunnel-structure interaction numerical analyses, using a simple elastic perfectly plastic soil constitutive model.
