One of the greatest challenges of coastal engineering today is the need for coastal protection
in the changing climate scenario. Places which are nowadays protected will demand …

From January 1977 to September 1992, 143 patients underwent an emergency operation for
type A acute aortic dissection. Because of the location of the intimal tear, the replacement of …

The modeling and seismic analysis of submerged floating tunnels moored by cables is
addressed with particular attention to spatial variability of the excitation. Dissipation modeling …

Aim of the present work is to build a link between a structural theory for large-scale analyses
of three-dimensional cable structures undergoing, in general, large displacements and …

The general aim of this paper is to examine the effect of floating breakwater layouts on wave
transmission, loads along moorings and connectors, under oblique waves. The specific …

This paper describes 2-D numerical simulations of velocity and pressure fields generated by
non-breaking waves on a vertical breakwater with a recurved parapet wall. The influence of …

Long-span suspension bridges must satisfy at the same time spanning very long distances
and limited responses against external loads, even if of high intensity. Structural control can …

In cables, near resonance time-varying loading causes large amplitude oscillations mainly
involving the resonant mode. A relevant contribution of higher modes may arise as a result of …

Aim of this paper is to develop simple tools for mapping — at regional and local scale —
coastal areas exposed at flooding risk. A two-step simplified procedure for coastal management …

Spiral strands are lightweight and flexible structural elements, widely employed in many
different applications, moreover, they are the basic components of stranded wire ropes. Bending …
