  2. SAS Safety of Airport Structures • Highlights: • Started in December 2006 (12-month duration) • Funded by EPCIP 2006 - European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection - European Commission - Area Freedom Security, and Justice • Total budget: 500.000,00 € • Objective: to assess and optimize a barrier configuration to be used by ENAV to protect airport infrastructures Nanni

  3. SAS Safety of Airport Structures Team Partners: • AMRA (project leader, research center - Italy); • ENAV (end-user - Italy); • WAI (engineering firm - UK); • ATP (FRP manufacturer - Italy); and, • Saint Gobain Vetrotex España (supplier - Spain). Nanni

  6. SAS Safety of Airport Structures New fence system Nanni

  7. SAS Safety of Airport Structures Activities: • Design of a precast solution to achieve low-cost installation and maintenance; • Design of steel-free system to improve radio-transparency properties (including foundation); • Assessment of radio-transparency properties of system through numerical analysis and physical tests; • Structural analysis and mechanical tests of system components; and, • Blast analysis and tests to verify capability to withstand dynamic loads; and, • Demonstration Nanni

  8. SAS Safety of Airport Structures Participants: • Department of Structural Engineering – Federico II (static tests); • Department of Electrical Engineering – Federico II (radio-transparency tests); • Italian Navy – Navispelog (blast test monitoring); • Italian Police – Questura di Napoli (blast test authorization); • Italian Police – Questura di Frosinone (explosives transport authorization); • Italian Army consultants (blast tests); • UEE Italia (blast tests – explosives); Nanni

  9. SAS Safety of Airport Structures Participants (cont.): • Edilcalcestruzzi – (blast tests - fire range); • Endevco (blast tests - high shock accelerometers); • Phantom (blast tests - high speed cameras); • SUPSI – University of Lugano (tests on dynamic material properties); • PREMER s.r.l. (precast concrete base); • Meccanica Faggio s.r.l. (static tests set-up); • SEPE Costruzioni s.r.l.; (blast tests – barrier installation); • COSEN s.r.l. (prototypes installation); Nanni

  10. SAS Safety of Airport Structures Demo installation at Rome Airport – November 22, 2007 Nanni

  11. SAS Safety of Airport Structures Conclusions: • Project consisted of complex design of a civil structure taking into account unusual requirements; • Unconventional dynamic load scenario was considered and specific mechanical tests were performed; • Optimization of the system was conducted considering installation and maintenance requirements; • Numerical analysis and lab tests were carried out in order to verify radio-transparency properties of system; Nanni

  12. SAS Safety of Airport Structures Conclusions (cont.): • Blast characterization of the structure was performed through numerical analysis and field test; • Project focused on defining a protocol with input from owner, engineer, researcher, and material supplier and manufacturer; • Field demonstration confirmed the success of the project; and, • This experience can be replicated for similar endeavors related to security problems. Nanni

  13. SAS Safety of Airport Structures Presentations: • Administrative management of the project (AMRA); • Partecipant perspective (CSSN); • Design of the barrier (AMRA); • Composites in construction (AMRA); • Radio – transparency assessment of barrier (DIEL); • Blast tests of barrier (AMRA – CSSN); • Numerical analysis of barrier subject to blast (WAI); and • Open Discussion.\ Nanni
