Il prossimo appuntamento con la serie di incontri PhDTalks si terrà Martedì 4 marzo 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 Stefano Corazza condurrà un seminario dal titolo “Towards the realization of Submerged Floating Tunnels”. 

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

Sarà possibile seguire la conferenza anche online al seguente link.

Abstract
Submerged Floating Tunnels (SFTs) are underwater modular structures which are deemed to be a valuable option for crossing deep and long waterways, such as sea straits, fjords, bays and alpine lakes. Compared to classical aerial bridges, they are characterized by (1) lower construction costs per unit of length, (2) reduced environmental impact due to a smaller land footprint, and (3) the ability to operate in all weather conditions. However, due to their inherent flexibility, they are very prone to the effect of dynamic loads such as marine currents, earthquakes, traffic and hydrodynamic loadings.This talk will provide an overview of the most common structural typologies of SFTs, highlighting key design challenges and issues related to the simulation of their dynamic behavior. The presentation will conclude with recent findings on both analytical and numerical modeling of the local dynamics of the mooring system.
