Geostatistical models for the assessment of the influence of shear wave velocity uncertainty and variability on ground response analyses
No full textA robust assessment of the influence of epistemic uncertainties and aleatory
variabilities on ground response analyses is a fundamental requirement for modern probabilistic
seismic hazard analyses. The study of epistemic uncertainties and aleatory variabilities should
follow three sequential steps: identification, quantification, and management (IQM procedure).
A fundamental input for ground response analyses is the shear-wave velocity (VS) profile. The
VS profile can be obtained via various types of geophysical tests. Each test has specific characteristics.
For these reasons, a consistent IQM procedure must be established to assess the type
and amount of uncertainties involved in the measurements, also addressing the peculiarities of
the investigated site. We propose a geostatistical model for the management of the uncertainties
included in the VS profiles obtained with surface wave tests. The model is based on the separate
randomization of travel times and layer thicknesses. It generates profiles that are consistent with
the measured “site signatures” such as the Rayleigh wave dispersion curve and the predominant
site period. The model can be easily generalized for other geophysical tests
On the Traces of Vincenzo Scamozzi's Unrealized Projects for Rialto Bridge
No full textThe purpose of this study is to bring to light two design ideas of Vincenzo Scamozzi (1548–1616), developed by the architect for the Rialto bridge in Venice. The work
aims at the virtual reconstruction of the design solutions for a three-arch and single-arch bridge, which were presented during the competition held in the years 1587
and 1588. The research is based on the investigation of historical documentation of written and graphic sources of the era and on the critical considerations that emerged
from the comparison of the documents, also paying attention to the research of accredited scholars who have dealt with the topic over the years. The results of this
investigation have been translated into 3D digital models, which make it possible to provide greater awareness of the competition projects, until now relegated to mere
two-dimensional representations, at a visual level and therefore of the perception of the building concerning the project created by Antonio Da Ponte (1512–1597).
Furthermore, digital reconstructions allow us to verify on an urban scale the relationships that would have arisen with the immediate surrounding city fabric and
the reasons that presumably led these projects to their failure to be realized
Uncertainties and variabilities in seismic ground response analyses
No full textGround response analyses (GRAs) represent a key element for the nonergodic
(site-specific) evaluation of the seismic hazard. In this respect, epistemic uncertainties
and aleatory variabilities need to be properly identified, quantified, and managed to
obtain consistent estimates. Several collaborative efforts have been carried out in recent
years to assess the influence of uncertainties and variabilities in the GRA parameters
through benchmark studies. Specifically for site characterization, efforts are required to
guarantee a sufficient quality of in situ and laboratory tests. However, benchmark tests
have shown the existence of a certain level of “uncompressible uncertainty”. Stochastic
models implemented in GRAs are therefore required to evaluate the impact of uncertainties
and variabilities on the computed seismic hazard. Such models are to be based on large
databases of experimental data to produce consistent estimates. Examples will be provided
with a specific focus on geophysical tests for the evaluation of shear wave velocity models,
which are likely the most influent parameters in GRAs
