Winter-School on Recent Advances in Structural Engineering and Materials
This winter-school will focus on themes including (i) Advances in Sustainable Infrastructure Materials (Materials with Low Carbon Footprint, high performance materials with lo quantum consumption, and recycled materials) (ii) Advances in Performance Monitoring and Prediction (Structural Health Monitoring of civil infrastructure, Performance Prediction) and (iii) Advances in Strengthening Technologies (performance enhancement through innovative materials and strengthening techniques)
The fact that most of the structures need strengthening are occupied and
operational complicates the repair/upgrade process.
Hence,
condition assessment and strengthening are two significantly inter
connected areas of repair and retrofitting. This winter-school will give an overview of condition assessment procedures and
highlight the strengthening evaluation and design schemes using FRP
composites
