Innovative REtrofitting of Substandard Construction - IRESCO

Society worldwide is more exposed to seismic hazards due to rapid population growth and urbanization. Since the turn of the millennium, fatalities due to earthquakes were over 60,000/year, with a $300 billion/year estimated direct economic loss. Recent major earthquakes (China 2008, Haiti 2010, Lorca 2011, Japan 2012, Nepal 2015) have...

Seismic-Resistant Highly Deformable Structures SHDS

Seismic-Resistant Highly Deformable Structures (SHDS) is a research project funded by H2020 trough the Marie Slodovska Curie Programme. The recent earthquakes that have struck Europe the last decade, L'Aquila (2009) and Lorca (2011) (see picture on the left) have shown that even for a moderate seismic hazard level the seismic...

Marie Curie Research Training Network

En-Core: European Network for Composite Reinforcement The project comprises a cohesive and complementary team of top experts in the field from 9 different countries, having the majority of participants from Industry, EU less favoured regions and Associated states. The network aims to create the ideal environment for delivering the best...

COST Action TU1207

Action TU1207 leverages the already large amount of work carried out on the use of composite reinforcement for structural applications by individual research teams and existing learned groups. Action TU1207 was established in 2013 and operated until 2017. During these four years the Action aimed: to coordinate European research in...

Marie Curie Initial Training Network

The Marie Curie Initial Training Network endure started in October 2013 and included 14 partner institutions from 11 European countries. The aim of the network was to train a new generation of researchers in the use of advanced composites for construction so as to develop and maintain a critical mass...
