    Design charts for end-plate beam-to-column steel joints

    The component method provided by Eurocode 3 for the evaluation of strength and stiffness of beam-to-column joints is considered a very laborious procedure that is often difficult to apply. This is owing to the large number of geometrical and mechanical parameters involved in the analytical formulations. Hence, the component method is only seldom used for practical applications, with the consequence that the real behaviour of joints in terms of strength and stiffness is not accounted for. The aim of this paper is to provide an automatic tool that allows an easy-to-use application of the component method for the evaluation of beam-to-column joints stiffness and strength, and also enables plotting of the moment–rotation curve describing the joints' behaviour. Moreover, the proposed tool is used to carry out parametric analyses for two bolt-rows in end-plate beam-to-column steel joints. This is addressed to the definition of design charts for the optimal selection of joints. </jats:p

    2019 - 2020This research analyses, with unpublished documents, the artistic career of Paolo de Matteis, an interesting personality in the Neapolitan painting, active between the 17th and 18th centuries, in order to reconstruct and integrate the knowledge related to his Spanish painting production, until today neglected by previous studies, but in fact it is well developed for his whole career and continued without interruptions. From the review of the sources, even considering new documentary and territorial researches, it has been possible to show the strong relationship between the painter and the viceroys, and to introduce new and important commissions, aiming to show his artistic personality which was part of the cultural context and to increase the number of his works. .. [edited by Author]La presente ricerca analizza, con documentazioni fin qui trascurate o del tutto inedite, il percorso artistico di Paolo de Matteis, figura di spicco della pittura napoletana, attivo tra Seicento e Settecento, al fine di ricostruire e integrare le conoscenze relative alla sua produzione pittorica spagnola, fino ad ora rimasta in ombra in quanto trascurata dagli studi pregressi, ma di fatto sviluppatasi nell’arco di tutta la sua carriera, senza sostanziali interruzioni. Dal riesame approfondito delle fonti, a fronte di nuove indagini documentarie e territoriali, è stato possibile approfondire ulteriormente i rapporti fra l’artista e i viceré, nonché di definire nuovi e importanti incarichi di committenza, facendo emergere la sua personalità artistica, ben inserita nel contesto culturale del tempo e ampliare il numero delle sue opere note. ..

    Atmosphere(s) for Architects: Between Phenomenology and Cognition

    No full text
    Interfaces 5 was born to home the dialogue that the neuroscientist Michael A. Arbib and the philosopher Tonino Griffero started at the end of 2021 about atmospheric experiences, striving to bridge the gap between cognitive science’s perspective and the (neo)phenomenological one. This conversation progressed due to Pato Paez’s offer to participate in the webinar “Architectural Atmospheres: Phenomenology, Cognition, and Feeling,” a roundtable hosted by The Commission Project (TCP) within the Applied Neuroaesthetics initiative. The event ran online on May 20, 2022. Bob Condia moderated the panel discussion between Suchi Reddy, Michael A. Arbib, and Tonino Griffero. This volume collects nine essays: the target chapter is “A Dialogue on Affordances, Atmospheres, and Architecture” by Michael A. Arbib and Tonino Griffero; there are four commentaries to this text by Federico De Matteis, Robert Lamb Hart, Mark Alan Hewitt, and Suchi Reddy; Michael A. Arbib and Tonino Griffero have independently responded to the commentaries, emphasizing the opportunities and challenges of their respective approaches: cog/neuroscience and atmospherology applied to architecture; Elisabetta Canepa offers “An Essential Vocabulary of Atmospheric Architecture,” developing an atmospherological critique of the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art on the Kansas State University campus in Manhattan to evaluate the accuracy, coherence, and adaptability of her lexicon. Bob Condia and Mikaela Wynne provide an introduction entitled “On Becoming an Atmospherologist: A Praxis of Atmospheres.
