Preserving historical masonry constructions is crucial to safeguarding our architectural heritage. This paper dives into the structural behaviour of historical masonry sail vaults, a typology commonly found in the Cagliari area and widely built during the 19th century.
Steel rack frames are critical to modern logistics, holding the backbone of e-commerce and storage. However, their vulnerability to fire poses a significant threat—not just to assets but to safety and economic continuity.
The application of natural fibers in the construction industry is rapidly gaining attention due to their advantages in sustainability, recyclability, and biodegradability compared to synthetic alternatives.
I am thrilled to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between #DICAAR, University of Cagliari, and the Kalasalingam University Academy of Research and Education #KARE in Tamil Nadu, India.
