Wind Load & Structural Analysis: from Low-Rise Buildings to Long-Span Bridges
We are pleased to announce the next scheduled event!
On December 12, 2025 from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. at the Mossa Hall (S2b) of the Santa Chiara Complex will be held the lecture Wind Load & Structural Analysis: from Low-Rise Buildings to Long-Span Bridges by Luca Caracoglia (Northeastern University).
Abstract
The seminar addresses the evolution of wind load analysis and structural response, ranging from single-story buildings, characterized by relatively simple dynamic behavior, to long-span bridges, where aeroelastic interaction and turbulence become decisive factors. Challenges, advanced methods, and design strategies to ensure safety and performance will be presented.
Short bio
Luca Caracoglia. Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northeastern University in Boston. His research focuses on structural dynamics, random vibrations, fluid-structure interaction, nonlinear cable networks, wind engineering, and wind energy systems. Author of over 100 scientific publications, he received the NSF-CAREER award in 2009 and was named ASCE Fellow in 2020. He has held several prominent roles in international wind engineering associations and is currently a member of the ANIV Board of Directors.
