Building Resilient - ICITECH

We are thrilled to share that the Building Resilient - ICITECH team has successfully completed outstanding laboratory tests. 💪 🌟 🚧 The tests involved subassemblies representing a critical part of a building. To simulate extreme conditions, we used three hydraulic jacks to replicate collapse scenarios. Over 100 sensors were used to gather extensive data. 🔌 👷♀️ 👷♂️ A big thank you to the entire team for their hard work, dedication, and expertise in making this possible. Closing 2024 with this success fills us with pride and energy for the next stage of the #Endure project. 🚀 Let’s keep building resilience together 🏗️🔬 Happy New Year!! ✨ 🥂 🎄 European Research Council (ERC) #Endure #EUfunded #Horizon2020

🎯 At Building Resilient - ICITECH, we celebrated our traditional team building day before the winter break with a group activity and a meal. These activities strengthen us as a group and give us the opportunity to share our experiences and achievements.  🎄 We wish you a Merry Christmas.

🚧 Exciting times ahead for #Endure project! We are all set to conduct our subassembly test, which represents a section of a reinforced concrete building, complete with its columns, beams, and slab. 🔧 We will simulate the collapse using two hydraulic jacks, and to ensure we capture every detail, we have over 110 sensors and more than 4 cameras ready to document the process. ➡️ Stay tuned for updates on this groundbreaking test!

After the experimental campaign of the #Pont3 project, we are processing the results. 🔌 We use 80 strain gauges, 20 displacement transducers and 3 accelerometers. 👩💻 We performed 10 different tests with more than 18 million data points recorded.

📹 In this video, we show the main details of the #Encast project, our ERC Proof of Concept (PoC) Grant. 🔎 Overall aim: To develop versatile and trustworthy design tools for implementing fuse-based segmentation in precast concrete buildings to facilitate its market penetration. This project is funded by the European Research Council (ERC). #EUfunded #HorizonEU

#Endure project: We are working on the assembly of the second test at the #ICITECH of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV). 🏗 Now we are testing another fuse-segmentation solution. European Research Council (ERC) #EUfunded #Horizon2020

We would like to share our recently published work on Structures.  In this study, we proposed a methodology to evaluate the robustness of RC building structures by combining practical modelling strategy and appropriate robustness indexes.   Four indexes (reserve-based) proposed in the literature were investigated and compared systematically for three hypothetical building designs. Using multiple indexes, we are able to get a more holistic view of system performance compared to relying solely on a single index, as traditionally done. Lastly, we demonstrated the practical use of the methodology for two case studies: 1) estimating component damage levels and 2) evaluating and selecting various retrofitting solutions to improve structural robustness.  We believe this article is suitable not only for academics/researchers but also for practising engineers. The step-by-step example we provided in the article to perform modelling calibration and robustness index quantification can be helpful for practitioners to support decisions on the design of new buildings and the assessment of existing ones.

We published a recap of Building Resilient's members attendance at conferences in 2024. This year has been very successful for us and we presented the results of our research at many international conferences. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dsnmFNCs 🎓 We are already planning our participation in the 2025 international conferences.
