About:

This Conference aims to bring under one roof specialists from the academia and industry on earthquake engineering, landslides, floods, tsunamis and hurricanes.

This conference provides the opportunity to watch and listen how the scientific community is coping with in their fields of expertise; this is the essence of cross-fertilization of knowledge.

Conference themes:

Cross-cutting topics:

  • Physical modeling in lab and field: from miniature to large scale testing
  • Resilient Infrastructure design: from structural robustness to adaptive systems
  • Community preparedness and resilience to natural disasters
  • Cascading hazards and multiple risk assessment
  • Sensing and monitoring: from local Instrumentation to satellite technologies
  • Case studies and lessons learned
  • Eco-friendly mitigation techniques
  • Engineering in harsh environments (offshore challenges, arctic areas, deep-water systems)
  • Infrastructure subjected to extreme wind

Earthquakes:

  • Engineering seismology & ground motion simulation
  • Assessment, analysis and retrofitting of structures
  • Aging infrastructure and future earthquakes: concrete, steel and masonry structures
  • Seismic design of foundations and underground structures
  • Soil-structure interaction
  • Ground failure & liquefaction: analysis and effects on structures and lifelines
  • Isolation and energy dissipation devices

Landslides:

  • Landslides prevention and mitigation: design practice and new concepts
  • Hazard assessment and sensing
  • Offshore landslides and effects on submarine structures and pipelines
  • Earthquake/flood induced landslides: analysis and modelling

Floods & tsunamis:

  • Flood-resistant design: applications on dams and levees
  • Tsunami-resistant design
  • Tsunami generation – propagation
  • Flood & tsunami disasters: prevention – mitigation

Registration opens in the coming weeks.
