Si comunica che il corso di Ingegneria Sismica avrà inizio lunedì 2 marzo alle ore 15:00 presso Aula Berio. L’orario delle lezioni sarà il seguente: Lunedì: 15:00 – 18:00 Mercoledì: 10:30 – 13:30 Le lezioni si svolgeranno sempre in Aula Berio.
In structural fire design, compressed steel braces are often assumed to be ineffective: high temperatures reduce mechanical properties and induce thermal strains that lead to early buckling. Consequently, braces are typically neglected in capacity assessments.
On February 20, 2026, the University of Cagliari hosted the final conference of the PRIN 2022 SARCOS project, focused on ecological transition in the construction sector.
Dust collectors are designed to remove hazardous dust and protect industrial environments. Yet statistics show they are among the equipment most frequently involved in combustible dust explosions.
In existing masonry buildings, structural strengthening and energy retrofitting are typically addressed separately. Our recent experimental study instead proposes an integrated approach based on TRM (Textile Reinforced Mortar) systems combined with diatons and lime-based insulating mortars with recycled aggregates.
Baghouse dust collectors are among the most critical pieces of equipment when it comes to dust explosion risk. Yet, many vent-sizing approaches still treat them as nearly empty enclosures, largely neglecting the effect of internal filters.
Every building starts with sand. Today, sand is the second most consumed natural resource worldwide, after water. Billions of tonnes are extracted each year for concrete production, reshaping rivers, coastlines, ecosystems, and landscapes. Yet sand scarcity is rarely addressed when discussing sustainable construction.
From Chemical Waste to Sustainable Construction: The Potential of Anhydrous Calcium Sulphate The search for sustainable alternatives to natural raw materials has become a priority for the construction sector. One of the main challenges concerns the replacement of natural sand, a non-renewable resource whose massive extraction has a significant environmental impact.
On 20 January 2026, I had the opportunity to deliver an invited lecture at the Karunya Institute of Technology and Sciences on post-fire investigations for reinforced concrete structures. The seminar, hosted by the Division of Civil Engineering, offered a valuable platform to discuss advanced methodologies for assessing fire-damaged RC buildings through integrated diagnostic and numerical approaches.
The first Biochar Day Sardinia brought to Cagliari an inspiring day of ideas, discussions and vision on the role of biochar in shaping a truly sustainable and circular future. The Main Hall of the Faculty of Engineering and Architecture was filled with engaged students — the clearest sign of how relevant these topics are.
