Talks and conferences
Talks related to the project and presentations at international conferences.
Workshop of the FAILNOMORE project “Mitigation of the risk of progressive collapse in steel and composite building frames under exceptional events” (19 May 2022): Professor Jose M. Adam gave a talk on designing for robustness. Some of the key slides from his presentation are available here.
Dr. Nirvan Makoond gave a talk on design strategies for unidentified threats. Some of the key slides from his presentation are available here.
The eighth International Conference on Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Computation in Cape Town, SEMC 2022 (5-7 September 2022): Nirvan Makoond and Professor Jose M. Adam contributed to SEMC 2022 with a presentation and an invited lecture during a session focused on progressive collapse and design for robustness. The invited lecture concerned research in the field of structural robustness though large-scale testing. Some of the key slides from this presentation are available here.
Congress on Numerical Methods in Engineering (CMN 2022) held in Las Palmas de Gran Canarias (14-16 September 2022): Manuel Buitrago and Marina Oliver attended CMN 2022 with a presentation on the use of structural fuses to prevent failure propagation in shoring/propping systems. Some of the key slides from this presentation are available here.
Second Workshop FIDiT in the field of Construction Engineering, Training, R+D+i and Transfer, (14 February 2023): Giacomo Caredda participated in FIDiT with a presentation on risk-based fuse segmentation design of buildings for enhanced robustness and resilience. The poster with the key points of his presentation is available here.
SEI/ASCE Structures Congress in New Orleans (3-6 May 2023): Nirvan Makoond gave a presentation on full-scale tests as part of a special session on Precast Concrete and Disproportionate Collapse. Some selected slides from his presentation are available here.
The 6th International Conference on Protective Structures (ICPS6) in Auburn (14-17 May 2023): Nirvan Makoond contributed to ICPS6 with a talk on improving building robustness through fuse-segmentation. The slides from his presentation are available from here.
fib Symposium 2023. Building for the future: Durable, Sustainable, Resilient (5-7 June 2023). Dr. Manuel Buitrago and Prof. Jose M. Adam contributed to the conference with two presentations related to the Endure project and the already large-scale test performed for the WP3 of the project, respectively. Some of the key slides from both presentations are available here.
