Il Prof. Fabio Biondini è stato selezionato dall’ASCE Society Awards Committee per ricevere il prestigioso ASCE State of the Art of Civil Engineering Award 2026, conferito dall’American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) — la principale società scientifica e professionale al mondo nel campo dell’ingegneria civile. Il premio viene conferito al Prof. Biondini, in qualità di autore principale, e al suo team di co-autori per il volume Effects of Climate Change on Life-Cycle Performance of Structures and Infrastructure Systems, pubblicato da ASCE nel dicembre 2024. Il volume affronta l’impatto del cambiamento climatico sulla sicurezza, l’affidabilità e il rischio nel ciclo di vita delle strutture e delle infrastrutture, un tema di crescente rilevanza scientifica e strategica a livello globale. Le congratulazioni si estendono agli altri membri del team premiato: il Prof. Michel Ghosn, del New York City College, e il Dott. Mattia Anghileri, rispettivamente Visiting Professor e Research Fellow presso il Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile e Ambientale. La cerimonia ufficiale di premiazione si terrà alla ASCE 2027 Conference, in programma a Philadelphia, PA, dal 1° al 5 marzo 2027.

ASCE Reads interviewed Professor Fabio Biondini on the occasion of the publication of the book Effects of Climate Change on Life-Cycle Performance of Structures and Infrastructure Systems: Safety, Reliability, and Risk, which he co-edited with Zoubir Lounis and Michel Ghosn. The volume, published by ASCE Press, is the result of a three-year interdisciplinary project funded by ASCE, involving over 40 researchers including structural engineers and climate scientists. The main goals of the project were: * To review available information on climate change * To outline methods for updating current design standards to account for climate change effects on structural performance over time * To identify methodologies and tools for addressing the impact of climate change on the safety, risk, and life-cycle performance of structures and infrastructure systems 👉 Read the full interview: asce.org/publications-and-news/… 📘 Explore the book: ascelibrary.org/doi/book/10.1061/9780784485804 L'articolo Professor Fabio Biondini interviewed by ASCE on the future of structures in a changing climate proviene da DICA - Polimi.

Professor Fabio Biondini, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, is the inaugural recipient of the ASCE Dan M. Frangopol Medal for Life-Cycle Engineering of Civil Structures. Officially established by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) in 2023 to honor Professor Dan Frangopol, this medal is a recognition for those who have made outstanding contributions in life-cycle engineering, in aspects such as design, assessment, inspection, maintenance, and cost optimization of civil structures and infrastructure systems. The award is made biennially and is given for the first time in 2025 to Professor Fabio Biondini with the following motivation: “For distinguished achievements in the broad area of life-cycle engineering of civil structures and infrastructure systems and outstanding contributions to life-cycle of bridges and bridge networks“ The ASCE Frangopol Medal will be presented to Professor Fabio Biondini at the Award Ceremony of the ASCE/SEI Structures Congress in Phoenix, Arizona, April 11, 2025.
