SEISMIC RESILIENT STRUCTURES
Achieving Resilience through Innovative Seismic Devices
Organized by University College London, UK and Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, India
Dr. Fabio Freddi (UCL) and Dr Meera Raghunandan (IIT-B)
The socio-economic welfare and recovery time of communities in a post-earthquake scenario depends on the adequate functionality of strategic infrastructure facilities such as hospitals, fire stations, among others. Nonetheless, the focus of current seismic design codes is limited to ensuring the life-safety of the occupants with little consideration to minimizing damage. Such damage to building elements, including structural and non-structural components, strongly affects building functionality, often leading to lengthy service interruptions. In this regard, modern seismic design procedures should aim at the definition of ‘minimal-damage resilient structures’, ensuring the life-safety requirements as well as minimizing functionality losses and repair time. This is particularly true when considering strategic infrastructure facilities that must remain operational in the aftermath of a damaging earthquake.
Innovative seismic devices can be used in new and existing structures for the definition of ‘minimal-damage resilient structures’.
University College London (UCL) and the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT-B) are organising a Seminar Series on ‘Seismic Resilient Structures: Achieving Resilience through Innovative Seismic Devices’.
This activity is part of and is supported by the SPARC (Scheme for Promotion of Academic and Research Collaboration) collaborative project “Improved Community Performance from Seismically Resilient Strategic Infrastructure Facilities” coordinated by Meera Raghunandan (IIT-B) and Dr Fabio Freddi (UCL).
