SUSTAINABILITY AND RENEWABLES IN THE OFFSHORE ENVIRONMENT:
Recent challenges in modeling
Prof. Nicholas Fantuzzi  (UNIBO)
In recent times, where sustainability and the energy crisis are recurring themes, structural design is intertwined with economics, society, and politics. This multidisciplinary process is well suited to projects involving offshore renewable technologies, such as wind turbines, which represent a more or less mature technology. However, there are still many challenges to be addressed in mass production and the implementation of sustainable wind farms.

SHOT-EARTH:
An innovative and ecological building material
Prof. Marco Viviani (HEIG-VD)
To be used in construction, a new material must be accompanied by a method for creating the recipes and a characterization of its mechanical behavior. Furthermore, its durability must be known. Shot-earth is a new, eco-friendly construction material made from excavated earth, which can also be used for load-bearing structures. Furthermore, shot-earth combines performance with the needs of the construction market, as demonstrated by numerous studies conducted as part of an international partnership between companies and universities. 

13:00
PRIU2021:
Considerations, results and conclusions
Prof. Andrea Grilli (UNIRSM)
Prof. Michele Bacciocchi (UNIRSM)
In the construction sector, increased awareness of sustainable design has demonstrated the feasibility of using aggregates from the demolition of civil engineering structures at the end of their life cycle, thus saving natural materials. Building materials made from recycled aggregates have been shown to maintain good physical, mechanical, and thermal properties, reducing their environmental impact.

13:30
Conclusion and final greetings

Moderator:
Prof. Angelo Marcello Tarantino
University of San Marino

The initiative is part of the dissemination activity within the project PRIU2021"Reuse of demolition materials and excavated soil for the circular economy of road infrastructure construction and maintenance: development and proposals for applicability in the Republic of San Marino"
