Building Resilient has just been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant. The overall aim of the project is to develop a novel fuse-based segmentation design approach to arrest
Last year, we tested a full-scale reinforced concrete building structure subjected to the sudden removal of corner columns. This research was funded by the BBVA Foundation through
After being almost three years with us, Dr. Elisa Bertolesi has just left Building Resilient. She joined Building Resilient in 2018 and worked in both large experimental
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
