Dr. Valentino Sangiorgio has just joined Building Resilient. The funding has been provided by the Valencia Council of Innovation, Universities, Science and Digital Society, which has kindly
A year ago we tested a 20 m long complete railway bridge span at the ICITECH laboratories together with one of its cross girders. The idea was
When the present SARS-CoV-2 crisis began it worried us to think that we would probably not be able to use our knowledge and labs to help to
Building Resilient and CALSENS are working in the Structural Health Monitoring of 3 steel railway bridges. We have used state-of-the-art equipment and also a new approach to
We have participated in the 1st SIRMA Workshop held at the University of Vigo. Thanks to Prof. Belén Riveiro and her team for the invitation to participate
We are now in the phase of disseminating the results of the research projects that have recently been completed. Elisa Bertolesi has been in Alicante to describe
We have just done another test on the Ferrandet bridge span in the ICITECH laboratories to analyse its robustness after the failure of some elements. The results
The tests on the Ferrandet bridge span are turning out to be successful. We have applied more than 40,000 load cycles, equivalent to the passing of 140,000
Within the framework of the Beca Leonardo, funded by the BBVA Foundation, we have successfully completed tests on a full-scale building subjected to the sudden removal of
We have now done the first test in the Beca Leonardoframework, funded by the BBVA Foundation. Everything worked out perfectly and the building’s behaviour was practically identical
Calsens and Building Resilient will carry out a study on the fatigue behaviour of a span of the Ferrandet bridge over the Denia-Alicante railway line. The span
We are putting the finishing touches to the specimen-building to be used to analyse the activation of alternative load paths after the sudden failure of a corner
We have finished testing a one-storey masonry building subjected to dynamic horizontal forces in two stages: the first without reinforcement until reaching a certain level of damage
Manuel Buitrago, a member of Building Resilient, successfully defended his excellent doctoral thesis on improving the safety and efficiency of the shoring systems used in the construction
We have had three months of intense international activity during which we have presented our research in Edinburgh, Florence and Milan. The results we are now disseminating
