Scala elicoidale autoportante armata, realizzata usando lamine di pietra naturale, dello spessore di 3 cm, profilate in sagoma ed a rilievo ed assemblate con resine epossidiche. Su ogni elemento gradino è presente un foro passante anch'esso di forma elicoidale che consente la creazione del pilastro interno, armato, che sostiene l'intera struttura.

No full textStructural Behaviour of Masonry Newly Concept Vault Through Tilting Table Testing on a Scaled Model
No full textMasonry vaults represent one of the most recurrent types of horizontal structural elements in architecture in European countries, even in areas characterized by a high level of seismicity. Therefore, the evaluation of their structural safety and their mechanical behaviour remains of primary importance. This paper proposes to apply already consolidated structural analysis methodologies on a contemporary vaulted space. The aim, therefore, is to investigate the dynamic behaviour of a newly concept vault generated starting from the “Flat vault of Abeille” patented in 1699. The reinterpretation of this vault and its use would allow both to enhance the existing Architectural Heritage and to characterize the realization of new buildings using traditional construction materials and techniques, without going against the canons and guidelines of architectural restoration. It follows that the identification of this “new type” of vault is essential to design it correctly and to optimize the geometry for structural purposes. The present paper describes the results of an experimental campaign about tilting table tests on a 1:8 small scaled vault and and the numerical simulation of the model through the Distinct Element Method (DEM). The physical model is coherent with the numerical one because it has been realized with 3D printed blocks assembled with dry joints. The seismic behaviour of the vault was experimentally studied through quasi-static tests by means of a tilting table to evaluate the collapse angle and the Horizontal load Multipliers for different in-plane angles in order to define a resistance domain of the vault
Towards a 4.0 mass customized wooden housing in the mediterranean area: The ecodomus project
No full textThe paper describes the necessary transition from the consolidated practices of contemporary residential architecture to innovative sustainable design and construction practices, which can be pursued by applying the principles of digital fabrication to the construction industry. The contribution is divided into two parts: the first investigates the theoretical-critical assumptions of research and the second part describes a design experience that led to the creation of a housing prototype with an irregular geometry made up of CLT panels. The paper will explain the need to overcome the current phase of experimentation using digital fabrication technologies applied to small pavilions with complex shapes or high budget, to move to their application on residential building. The application of these technologies to residential architecture is desirable both for the diffusion and for the relevance of the change it would produce

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
