Innovations in Structural Engineering: Strengthening against earthquakes

This session will discuss the use of advanced composite materials as a novel class of reinforcement for concrete structures and will illustrate the benefits of using advanced composites to increase the seismic performance of existing buildings.

Expected learning outcomes:

  •  to gain an appreciation of the structural limitations of concrete
  •  to familiarise with composite materials and their use as reinforcement for concrete
  •  to gain an appreciation of how advanced composites can be used in structural strengthening applications

Please note this is a repeat of the autumn session.
