Climate Change Management through Mitigation and Adaptation – ADAPTM 
Responsabile DICAr: Francesco Martinico
Bando/Ente finanziatore: ERASMUS+ - Capacity Building in the Field of Higher Education
Università/Aziende partner: Klaipeda University (Lithuania), National Observatory of Athens (Greece), Emuni Univesity (Slovenia), Alexandria University (Egypt), Arab Academy for Science and Maritime Transport (Egypt), Suez Canal University (Egypt), South Valley University (Egypt)
Abstract: The overall wider objective, to which the project will contribute, is to continue the reform of the system of higher education in the area of applied Physical sciences (Environmental science) in Egypt to comply with the Bologna Declaration and according to the demands of the Strategic Framework for European Cooperation in Education and Training (ET 2020), aimed at improving the quality and efficiency of educational process. The aim of the project is to ensure the design and implementation of an interdisciplinary Master degree study programme “Smart Environment and Climate Change Management” (SECCM) through conduction of joint interdisciplinary research, devoted to the synergy between theory and practice in sustainable development, in order to support Egypt with the integration of emerging technologies in environment management in a competence-based education system, hence advancing higher education according to the Bologna Process and European standards for quality of education.

Energy and Seismic AFfordable rEnovation solutions – e-SAFE 
Responsabile DICAr: Giuseppe Margani
Bando/Ente finanziatore: Horizon 2020, Topic: LC-SC3-EE-1-2018-2019-2020 (Decarbonisation of the EU building stock: innovative approaches and affordable solutions changing the market for buildings renovation)
Università/Aziende partner: Alma Mater Studiorum - University of Bologna (Italy), Moverim (Belgium), Istituto Autonomo Case Popolari di Catania (Italy), Norges miljø-og biovitenskapelige universitet (Norway), Engineering (Italy), Deloitte Limited (Cyprus), Buildings Performance Institute Europe (Belgium), Pink GmbH (Austria), SAMPAŞ (Turkey), Salfo and Associates SA (Greece), Timmerfabriek WEBO BV (Netherlands)
Abstract: Abstract: e-SAFE defines and develops a market-ready deep renovation system for non-historic buildings, whose ability to uptake the EU market relies on the combination of decarbonization goals with earthquake safety (where applicable), indoor comfort, reduced implementation time and cost, affordable financial options, reduced occupants’ disturbance, increased aesthetic and functional attractiveness. This is reached through an iterative process based on a multidisciplinary methodology, where traditional modelling and experimental research are integrated with tools for promoting financial feasibility, knowledge co-production, mutual learning and public engagement. The result is a new deep renovation system that benefits from the full integration between technological innovation and process-based innovation. From a technological standpoint, e-SAFE integrates TRL 5-6 technologies within a TRL 8-9 upscaled framework, deployed and validated through 3 large scale pilot projects. The output is an abacus of innovative, tailorable, integrated solutions for energy-efficient deep renovation, with recyclable biomaterials and increased seismic resistance. The e-SAFE technical systems also enhance indoor comfort while significantly reducing primary energy demand. Market uptake and public interest in deep renovation are than pursued via 3 process-based innovations: 1) a co-design protocol for future e-SAFE exploiters, to fully engage their customers in the finalization of renovation design, assisted by a newly developed ICT-based decision making tool; 2) an original dedicated value chain, where e-SAFE-related royalties are used by a new one-stop-shop financing entity for broadening deep renovation opportunities by providing to potential clients tailored financial solutions; 3) the generation of a public engagement protocol that makes every e-SAFE-based project an occasion to raise public awareness on the importance of decarbonization and seismic safety, while enhancing market opportunities.

SOil Frame-Interaction Analysis through large-scale tests and advanced numerical finite element modeling – SOFIA
Responsabile DICAr: Maria Rossella Massimino
Bando/Ente finanziatore: European Community - SERA — H2020-INFRAIA-2016-2017/H2020-INFRAIA-2016-1
Partners:
Abstract: La ricerca proposta riguarda nuovi test su larga scala su DSSI utilizzando la struttura EuroProteas esistente nel sito Euroseistest, nonché la modellazione FEM avanzata completamente accoppiata di questi test. Scopo della ricerca proposta è:
• valutare attentamente alcuni aspetti importanti di DSSI, come:
o il comportamento dell'interfaccia suolo-fondazione (scorrimento della fondazione e / o edificante);
o la trasmissione del segnale attraverso la struttura e lungo la superficie del suolo;
o le frequenze predominanti del sistema di struttura del suolo completamente accoppiato;
o influenza di miscele ghiaia-gomma (proveniente dal riutilizzo di vecchi  pneumatici) poste sotto la fondazione, come un nuovo modo di isolare le strutture;
• validare la modellazione FEM avanzata di DSSI, sviluppata da specifici modelli costitutivi del suolo.
Saranno valutati: accelerazioni e spostamenti massimi, cronologie di accelerazione e spostamento, spettri di Fourier e funzioni di amplificazione, rapporti di amplificazione dell'accelerazione.
Test di vibrazione forzata saranno eseguiti a diversa ampiezza e frequenza di eccitazione, sulla struttura esistente di Europroteas. L'input verrà dato nella parte superiore della struttura.
La struttura sarà testata sia con che senza la miscela ghiaia-gomma sotto la fondazione. 
I test effettuati saranno modellati numericamente mediante modellazione FEM.

Modernizing Learning and Teaching for Architecture through Smart and Long-lasting Partnerships leading to sustainable and inclusive development strategies to Vitalize heritage Villages through Innovative Technologies – VVITA
Responsabile DICAr: Vincenzo Sapienza
Bando/Ente finanziatore: Programma: Erasmus Plus - KA2 Strategic Partnership, Call / Bando: EAC/A03/2016
Partners: “Ion Mincu” University of Bucarest (capofila); Norwegian University of Science and Technology di Trondheim
Abstract: The project proposes a transnational cooperation between the Universities of the partnership that raises the question of high education in Europe and underlines the thematic approach of the complexity of current rural heritage conditions emergencies, actual chances and challenges where the traditional division of disciplines are outdated. The project offers an integrate approach that is usually neglected through individual disciplines and aims at strengthening the architectural curricula and teaching to face new teaching and learning and to be adapted to the new societal and professional situation.
