PhDTalks | Study on toppling resistance of trees and of their effects as Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems: experimental tests at small-scale and at real-scale & hydrologic probabilistic modelling.

3 Dicembre 2024 @ 17:15 - 18:30

Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 3 dicembre nell’aula Fassò (Edificio 4A), dalle 17:15 alle 18:30 CET.

PhDTalks è una serie di seminari e discussioni tra dottorandi. Gli eventi hanno lo scopo di fornire un luogo dove creare un network tra dottorandi ed entrare in contatto con i molti progetti sviluppati nel nostro dipartimento.

Lo speaker Giacomo Marrazzo condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Study on toppling resistance of trees and of their effects as Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems: experimental tests at small-scale and at real-scale & hydrologic probabilistic modelling. 

Al termine dell’evento sarà disponibile un piccolo rinfresco finanziato dal dipartimento.

Sarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link.

Abstract

The protection against toppling failure of trees requires a large multidisciplinary approach and, in this perspective, Geotechnical Engineering can provide a valuable contribution, particularly when the attention is focused on the mechanisms of collapse due to root-plate overturning.This research aims to study not only the toppling resistance of trees but also their effects as Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS).Experimental tests both at small-scale, on a simplified prototype, and at real-scale by investigating different loading conditions will be shown. Moreover, an analytical-probabilistic approach to evaluate the role of trees in the water cycle restoration and in reducing stormwater runoff will be presented.

Speaker’s bio

Giacomo holds an MSc in Civil Engineering for Risk Mitigation from Politecnico di Milano, in 2021. He is currently a PhD candidate in Structural, Seismic and Geotechnical Engineering (38th cycle). His scholarship is interdisciplinary and it is co-founded by the Doctoral Program in Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering. His research focuses on the numerical and experimental study on toppling resistance of trees in urban areas and of their role as sustainable drainage systems for flooding control.

Outside academia, he is a non-professional basketball player and he plays for the club “Asm70 Pezzini Basket Morbegno”.
