Computationally Aware Surrogate Models for the Hydrodynamic Response Characterization of Floating Spar-Type Offshore Wind Turbine

Due to increasing environmental concerns and global energy demand, the development of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) is on the rise. FOWTs offer a promising solution to expand wind farm deployment into deeper waters with abundant wind resources. However, their harsh operating conditions and lower maturity level compared to fixed...

Machine learning-based identification of vulnerability factors for masonry buildings in aggregate: The historicalcentre of casentino hit by the 2009 l'aquila earthquake

Seismic events in Italy and worldwide have highlighted the high vulnerability of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures in small historical centres. A key feature of these settlements is to be mostly composed of buildings in aggregate, i.e., interconnected by a more or less structurally effective connection. The seismic assessment of such...
