“…Italy, which is the focus of this study, represents an interesting Mediterranean case that can be used to start investigating difficulties and problems in the management of the social housing system when the public housing rental model is adopted [10]. The need for maintenance, which is intensified by pollution and climate change, concerns all Italian public infrastructures and the built environment, as well [11]. The collapse of Morandi Bridge in Genoa is an infamous example of a strong need of maintenance from one side and neglect to address that need on the other.…”

Process View to Innovate the Management of the Social Housing System: A Multiple Case Study

All countries recognize the right to adequate housing for all human beings. Yet, in many countries, social housing is in a critical state: most buildings need to be restored and better services should be guaranteed. Such actions should be part of a larger plan aimed to overcome the organizational and technological backwardness of the agencies that manage the social housing system. With a not large, but old public asset, the Italian context may represent an interesting case to start investigating difficulties and problems in the management of the social housing system that, as it occurs in most Mediterranean countries, arise when the public housing rental model is adopted. In the paper, a multiple case study on five Italian regional public Agencies responsible for the social housing system is discussed. In particular, the theoretical lens of process theory and ambidextrous business process management are adopted to study the Agencies’ “problematic situation” and identify innovative solutions to address it. The paper contributes to research and practice on process innovation and digital transformation of public administrations: three important lessons are derived and discussed also taking into consideration Industry 5.0, the vision on the future of industry recently proposed by the European Commission. Finally, the adoption of process theory combined with ambidextrous Business Process Management is an underexplored research method in the field of Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Facility Management (AEC/FM) research. The results reported in the study reaffirm the potential deriving from its adoption also in such a field.

The paper presents the results of the vibration tests carried out on the pedestrian bridge accessing Civita di Bagnoregio, Italy. The structure was in bad health condition. The external beams were damaged due to deterioration exacerbated by the combined actions of rain and wind. The circular piers were also damaged with several cracks where the concrete cover was spliced and the reinforcement bars were exposed. The analysis presented in the paper focuses on the highest five piers, which seemed to show an irregular behavior during a preliminary experimental campaign. The results of the experimental campaign presented in this paper showed that the structural behavior of the bridge was qualitatively similar to the expected one. The reduced stiffness, due to the observed widespread damage state, amplified the vibrations uniformly along the structure. The Italian Guidelines for the risk and safety assessment of bridges and viaducts, issued in 2020, have been applied and tested in this study and the results are presented in the paper.

Preventing and Managing Risks Induced by Natural Hazards to Critical Infrastructures

et al. 2022

A procedure for assessing and monitoring the response of critical infrastructures when subjected to natural hazards is proposed in this paper, with a particular focus on bridges and viaducts, which are very peculiar and strategic assets of transport networks. The proposed procedure is characterized by three levels of analysis (L1–L3) with increasing reliability and complexity. The first level of analysis (L1) is carried out by evaluating a Class of Attention in line with the approach that is proposed by the Italian Guidelines for the safety assessment of bridges. The second level (L2) of analysis requires the definition of a numerical model of the bridge. The third level (L3) of analysis relies on the seismic response data from a seismic monitoring network. For all the three levels of the proposed procedure, data are collected in the CIPCast Decision Support System (CIPCast-DSS), a WebGIS platform developed by ENEA to support the decision-making process related to risk prevention and the management of impacts induced by natural hazards on critical infrastructures. The real-time analysis of the data collected and processed in the CIPcast-DSS in post-disaster circumstances provides a quasi-real-time prediction of the impacted infrastructures, and the extent of damages they could have suffered before a local inspection and analysis could take place. The continuous static and dynamic monitoring in periods without seismic events enables the planning of preventive and effective maintenance interventions.
