Civil/Structural/Seismic Engineering and Architecture are facing an extraordinarily challenging era, the ultimate target being set at increasingly higher levels by the demanding expectations of our modern society.
The urgent need for a coordinated National Plan for the Condition/Safety Assessment, Conservation/Retrofitting/Rehabilitation and Maintenance/Repairing of the Italian existing Buildings (both ordinary and heritage/monumental) and Infrastructure Stock has become dramatically evident. On the other hand, the rapid and remarkable evolution of innovative/smart materials and technologies, facilitated by the significant enhancement of Structural Laboratory Testing Facilities at national and international level, combined with the recent Italian regulations providing financial incentives (i.e. Sisma Bonus, Eco-Bonus) and the infrastructure investment plan (apparently/hopefully under preparation) could provide the key technical/economic trigger.
In this context, the Faculties of Engineering (ICI) and Architecture at Sapienza University of Rome face a unique opportunity to play a central role within such significant mission undertake.
This project intends to bring together a unique interdisciplinary Team with strong expertise in various and complementary topics within the area of Civil/Structure/Seismic/Mechanical/Energy Engineering and Architecture. The acquisition of a medium size electromechanical Universal Testing Machine - capable to carry cyclic pseudo-dynamic testing under axial, shear, torsion on different materials and small components intends to represent a first step towards a recommended equally significant strategic upgrading/enhancement of the experimental testing capabilities - largely overdue since the mid-1960 - as well as a natural catalyst for the collaboration/interaction among academic/industry/government players and stakeholders, allowing Sapienza to develop an increasingly recognized role as research/teaching/third mission provider.
