The Integration of a Multidomain Monitoring Platform with Structural Data: A Building Case Study
No full textIn recent years, innovative Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) techniques, applicable for the assessment of existing civil structures, have become available for in situ analysis on Reinforced Concrete (RC) and masonry structures, but they are still not established for regular inspections, especially after seismic events. The damage assessment of RC buildings after seismic events is a very relevant issue in Italy, where most of the structures built in the last 50 years are RC structures. Furthermore, there is also a growing interest in being able to monitor structural health aspects by storing them on the building’s digital twin. For these reasons, it is necessary to develop an affordable and ready-to-use NDT procedure that provides more accurate indications on the real state of damage of reinforced concrete buildings after seismic events and to integrate these data into an interoperable digital twin for automated, optimized building performance monitoring, management, and preventive maintenance. To this end, a case study was conducted on a building in the Marche region in Italy, damaged by the 2016 earthquake. Non-destructive tests were performed and inserted into the LIS platform for the creation of a digital twin of the building. This platform seamlessly manages, visualizes, and analyzes the collected data and integrates various sensor nodes deployed throughout the building. The paper also presents a methodology to simplify the work of the test operator and make the entire process of knowledge of the building faster and more sustainable through a QR-code interface
Urban Data Governance: an Interoperability-Based Approach for Monitoring Natural Threats at Different Geographic Scales, Through Smart City Platforms
No full textPublisher Copyright: © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.Monitoring, preventing and managing the impacts induced by extreme natural events requires the use of multiple and different Information Communication Technology (ICT) tools and technologies capable of collecting and processing data from various sources, and supporting public stakeholders in the planning and implementation of prompt actions. In this perspective, the availability of platforms able to harmonize, integrate and manage heterogeneous data and to create new knowledge, can constitute a valuable support. This article presents some preliminary results from the EU-funded MULTICLIMACT project, part of which is defining a reference model for customizing and adopting the ENEA Smart City Platform to inform on the severity and extent of possible impacts induced by natural threats and on possible resilience strategies. Towards that the Smart City Platform enables the interoperability between heterogeneous digital solutions monitoring natural threats at different geographic scales.Peer reviewe
