The paper describes the strategy adopted to assess the structural condition of the tallest historic tower in Mantua (Italy) after the Italian seismic sequence of May–June 2012 and exemplifies the application of health monitoring using (automated) operational modal analysis. The post-earthquake survey (including extensive visual inspection, historic and documentary research, non-destructive (ND)...

The paper summarizes the results of recent ambient vibration tests and operational modal analyses carried out on the new curved cable-stayed bridge erected in the Commercial Harbour of Porto Marghera (Venice, Italy). The ambient vibration tests were carried out as a part of the reception tests of the bridge before its opening and included the recordings of the system response in selected points...

In this paper, a closed-loop location-inventory problem for spare parts is presented. The proposed supply chain network includes two echelons, namely (1) distribution centers (DCs) and repairing centers (RCs) and (2) operational bases. Multiple spare parts are distributed among operational bases from distribution centers in the forward supply chain and failed spare parts from operational bases ...
