Introduction of the Research Group
The research aims the investigation of the behaviour and performance of new and existing civil engineering structures and the built environment exposed to extreme effects - earthquake, fire, explosion, tornado, extreme snow, extreme wind, etc. -, and develops innovative protection solutions.
The research addresses:
- characterization and description of extreme effects,
- behavior of structural materials, development of material models,
- modelling and simulation of global behavior of structures, analysis and study of the response to extreme effects,
- development of innovative structural solutions,
- inspection and protection of the existing built environment,
- evaluation and improvement of the resilience of the built environment to extreme effects, risk analysis,
- development of design procedures for innovative solutions, standardization efforts.
Achievements
-development and practical application of site-specific seismic response spectrum-developments for innovative seismic protection devices, such as buckling restrained braced frame system, rocking frame,
-smart blast resistant structural solutions
-methodological developments and application of risk and resilience analysis
