A cutting-edge engineering initiative is redefining how we protect buildings from catastrophic collapse. Building collapses often begin with small, localized failures that quickly propagate into devastating structural
🔬 On May 9, 2025, the Fira dels Invents 2025 was held at the “Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias” in Valencia, offering a full day
In the Enhance project, we study existing reinforced concrete and steel buildings that need strengthening for structural robustness. We perform advanced numerical analysis with SAP2000 and DIANA
Our researcher, Andri Setiawan, has been selected as 1 of the 20 fellows from a total pool of 450 applicants in Postdoctoral Junior Leader fellowships Retaining Call
The ENDURE project has achieved a significant milestone with the successful execution of the subassembly tests. These experiments aimed to assess the performance of a reinforced concrete
Jose Adam has just received the Researcher of the Year Special Award at the 3rd edition of the UPV Research Awards celebrated at Universitat Politècnica de València
The funding proposal for the project entitled “Collapse risk categorization of the building stock in the Valencian Community to assess its robustness (ENFORCE)” has been approved. The
The Building Resilient team was present at many international conferences this year, especially during the summer season. Below is a recap of our attendance at conferences in
One of our most recent funding proposals entitled, “Identifying when current design guidelines contribute to disproportionate collapse of reinforced concrete building structures – Evolve”, has been granted.
Building Resilient has recently been awarded an ERC Proof of Concept (POC) Grant entitled “Implementing a new line of defence to avoid the catastrophic collapse of precast
We are now in the process of finalising the construction of the two subassembly specimens to validate the application of the fuse-based segmentation concept for arresting collapse
We finished the experimental campaign of the Enroot project: Enhancing the robustness of timber structures, at the ICITECH laboratories of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV). The
The work we carry out with the Endure Project has been published in Nature and is featured on its cover. The paper “Arresting failure propagation in buildings
We are now involved in the experimental campaign of the Enroot project: Enhancing the robustness of timber structures, at the ICITECH laboratories of the Universitat Politècnica de
On April 16-19, the workshop “Preventing Building Collapses” was organized as a part of the European Research Council (ERC) Endure project. The workshop consisted of several key
