Research Objectives
The proponent team proposes to establish a Center of Excellence for research on "Structural Composites for Innovative Constructions" SCIC. The center will be based on the cooperation among several research groups operating at the University of Naples "Federico II". The most involved departments will be the Department of Materials and Production Engineering (DIMP), the Department of Electronics Engineering (DIE) and the Department of Structural Analysis and Design (DAPS) that have distinguished expertise in materials, monitoring/assessment and civil structures design, respectively.The proposal was generated with the objective of providing strong and significant responses to the following needs underlined by the analysis of the Italian social, economic and academic situation:- Infrastructure durability: degradation problems show a dramatic need for technologies able to increase structural durability. In recent years, most reinforced and prestressed concrete structures reported damage due to the corrosion of steel showing the disadvantage of limited durability over time when it is exposed to aggressive and harsh environments.- Natural and man-made hazards: the potential for seismic events or unexpected human actions poses a challenge for the reduction of hazards in construction. Preparedness for such situations represents an urgent social need. The complexity of societal functions and its dependency on interaction of built infrastructure functions determines a demand for safe>>>
