How do you imagine the university of the future?, a. What teaching and assessment methodologies do you mostly imagine?, b. Which learning technologies do you think will prevail?; 2. How will the students of the future differ from those of today? (demands, expectations,...) and 3. How will online / remote assessment methodologies affect learning practices in STEM, differently depending on … the gender? (students / faculty), … the studies typology? and will it be different in STEM studies from the rest?7112_01.mp4

Optimal design of a new seismic passive protection device made in aluminium and steel
No full textIn recent years many techniques for the seismic control of structures have been developed. Among these, the metallic hysteretic devices are able to dissipate a great amount of the energy entering the building during a seismic event, thanks to a stable behavior under cyclic loads that produces a wide hysteretic loop. Steel shear panels are examples of elasto-plastic elements, which dissipate energy under a shear behavior. Generally such dampers are known to possess large energy-dissipation capacity relative to their size; they are cost-effective and are able to protect non-structural elements too. Moreover, the shear panels may be easily installed and substituted in the structure by mean of diagonals on which may be mounted and then connected to the frame. As disadvantage, this kind of energy dissipating devices can dissipate energy only after they sustain inelastic excursions. As a consequence they are ineffective for vibrations that produce interstory drifts smaller than the yielding drift of the device. To overcome this constraint, Rai and Wallace and Foti and Diaferio proposed shear panels made in aluminium alloys. In fact, these alloys are very ductile with a yielding limit lower than ordinary steel. Numerical and experimental researches have been developed on aluminium shear links. Foti and Nobile performed characterization and shaking-table tests on some aluminium shear panels showing instability phenomena and problems of the connections of the devices to the structure.
The aim of the present note is to find out the optimum geometrical configuration of an aluminium-steel shear panel in order to dissipate a large amount of the seismic energy
Non-destructive techniques and monitoring for the evolutive damage detection of an ancient masonry structure
No full textIn the present article non-destructive testing evaluation of the existing damage evolution
has been applied to some buildings of the medieval town of Craco (Matera, Italy) and, in particular,
to the Normand tower. Actually the little town of Craco is totally abandoned as a consequence of
the activation of the landslide motions of its soil depth. Nevertheless, the Normand tower still
stands because it is located on a stable and stiffer foundation ground.
The tower was built in the XII century. It is 20 m tall and has a symmetric square plan, with
dimensions 11 m x 11 m; it was built for defense against enemy attacks.
Inside the tower a cistern in reinforced concrete was placed in 1949. It is not connected to the
structural walls of the tower; however it represents an obstacle for installing the damage detection
equipment and sensors.
In this article a preliminary study on the masonry structure of the Normand tower is carried on.
A finite element numerical model has been developed and a modal analysis has been performed.
The final aim of the research is to find out the evolutionary stage of the cracks and to propose a
possible retrofit of the tower
Estimation of the hydraulic parameters of unsaturated samples by electrical resistivity tomography
No full textIn situ and laboratory experiments have shown that electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is an effective tool to image transient phenomena in soils. However, its application in quantifying soil hydraulic parameters has been limited. In this study, experiments of water inflow in unsaturated soil samples were conducted in an oedometer equipped to perform three-dimensional electrical measurements. Reconstructions of the electrical conductivity at different times confirmed the usefulness of ERT for monitoring the evolution of water content. The tomographic reconstructions were subsequently used in conjunction with a finite-element simulation to infer the water retention curve and the unsaturated hydraulic conductivity. The parameters estimated with ERT agree satisfactorily with those determined using established techniques, hence the proposed approach shows good potential for relatively fast characterisations. Similar experiments could be carried out on site to study the hydraulic behaviour of the entire soil deposi

RELASI KONTRAS POLA RITME LABU DAN GERAK PENARI FOTI PADA PERTUNJUKAN TARIAN FOTI LALENDO
No full textPenelitian ini berjudul “Relasi Kontras Pola Ritme Musik Labu Dan Gerak Foti Pada Pertunjukan Tarian Foti Lalendo”, bertujuan untuk memahami hubungan pola ritme musik dan tari dalam keutuhan pertunjukan, serta mengungkapkan relasi dari keutuhan pertunjukan dengan budaya masyarakat. Konsep budaya masyarakat Rote Ndao mengenai dualistik tampak pada musik dan tari dalam keutuhan pertunjukan Foti Lalendo. Sebagaimana permasalahan penelitian ini yaitu: Bagaimana bentuk dan struktur musik dan tari dalam keutuhan pertunjukan Foti Lalendo, bagaimana relasi kontras pola ritme labu dan gerak kaki penari dalam keutuhan pertunjukan Foti Lalendo, bagaimana relasi pertunjukan dengan (konsep) budaya masyarakat Rote Ndao. Penelitian ini merujuk pada konsep bentuk, kontras dan relasi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu fenomenologi yang disajikan dalam bentuk analisis studi kasus. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara observasi, wawancara, studi dokumen dan aktivitas peremakan serta transkripsi.
Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa bentuk musik tari Foti Lalendo terbangun dari unsur dan struktur. Unsur musik terdiri dari tempo, meter dan ritme, sedangkan struktur musik terdiri dari motif dan frase. Dari unsur dan struktur musik tersebut dapat diketahui bentuk musiknya. Musik tari lalendo memiliki bentuk pembuka, transisi, isi, transisi, penutup dan koda. Sementara musik tari lalendo memiliki bentuk pembuka, isi, penutup dan koda. Tari Foti Lalendo terdiri dari elemen: tema, penari, gerak, kostum serta tempat dan waktu. Struktur tari terdiri dari pembuka, isi/inti dan penutup. Bentuk kontras pola ritme yang dihasilkan instrumen labu dan gerak kaki penari foti menunjukan keduanya ada dalam proses ‘saling menyesuaikan’ yang dalam penelitian ini disebut relasi kontras. Keutuhan pertunjukan tari Foti Lalendo merepresentasikan (konsep) budaya masyarakat Rote Ndao. Hal ini tampak pada bagaimana masyarakat mengkonseptualisasikan musik, tari, dan keutuhan pertunjukan yang berkaitan erat dengan filosofis dan pandangan hidup masyarakat Rote Ndao mengenai Konsep dualistik
