Geotechnical Engineering in the Digital and Technological Innovation Era

The book collects the keynote contributions and the papers presented at the “8th Italian Conference of Researchers in Geotechnical Engineering 2023, CNRIG’23”. The conference was held on July 5–7, 2023, at the University of Palermo (Italy), and it was organized under the auspices of the National Group of Geotechnical Engineering (GNIG). The event has been organized to promote interaction among geotechnical engineering and applied sciences, with special focus on technological and digital innovations. The book covers a wide range of classical and emerging topics in geotechnics, including innovation in laboratory testing and in situ monitoring, thermo-hydro-chemo-mechanical behavior of geo-materials, computational geomechanics, analyses of instability processes in seismic conditions, probabilistic approaches, resilience of critical infrastructures and advances in risk mitigation strategies, and eco-friendly solutions for soils and rocks stabilization. This book is intended for postgraduate students, researchers, and practitioners working on geotechnical engineering and related areas.

Sustainable Pipe Jacking Technology in the Urban Environment

This book highlights recent advancements and innovations in trenchless technology via the adoption of combined micro-tunnelling and pipe-jacking techniques. This technique is more environmentally friendly, cost effective, less time-consuming and less disruptive compared to conventional open trench excavations for urban construction and urban infrastructure renewal projects. Pipe jacking is a non-destructive technique used in the installation of underground pipelines using a tunnel boring machine (TBM) and thrust forces derived from the hydraulic jack set-up in a deep jacking shaft. It is popular and commonly used worldwide for the installation of sewer and common services cable tunnels as well as for oil and gas pipelines.

Domani interrogo

La periferia romana dove sorge la scuola che è al centro di questo romanzo è la Rebibbia raccontata da Zerocalcare. Nel liceo si parla romano, e le aule sono abitate da strani esseri viventi: alcuni disegnati sui muri, alcuni umani ma dalle cui bocche escono suoni incomprensibili alla professoressa, che non ha mai pensato di avere la vocazione all’insegnamento e invece ce l’ha, solo che non è una vocazione, è un mestiere. La professoressa, infatti, non ama la vocazione, ama l’inglese. La professoressa è un’intellettuale. La professoressa ha studiato in Italia e all’estero. La professoressa cammina, cammina, cammina perché Roma è grande e perché camminando pensa. Gli student...

Loco Motrix

A musician, musicologist, and self-defined “poet of research,” Amelia Rosselli (1930–96) was one of the most important poets to emerge from Europe in the aftermath of World War II. Following a childhood and adolescence spent in exile from Fascist Italy between France, England, and the United States, Rosselli was driven to express the hopes and devastations of the postwar epoch through her demanding and defamiliarizing lines. Rosselli’s trilingual body of work synthesizes a hybrid literary heritage stretching from Dante and the troubadours through Ezra Pound and John Berryman, in which playful inventions across Italian, English, and French coexist with unadorned social critique. In a ...
