An initiative on the "most up-to-date technologies used in research and construction of structures" is coming soon
Titan will host for the first time, on July 6th, an international symposium on Earthquake Engineering with the participation of some of the leading scholars in the sector from academic institutions in the United States, Australia and England.
The initiative, organized by the University of the Republic of San Marino, sees as its main organizer Davide Forcellini, professor of the University and recent author of some in-depth studies on the seismic resilience of the historic center with 3D analyzes and surveys which have made it possible to establish how much time would be needed to bring Palazzo Pubblico back to full operation if it were hit by an earthquake and damaged.
“We are faced with the possibility of showing, as a country, our sensitivity and attention in an area that puts safety above all in the foreground, as well as economic dynamics, with the analysis of the most up-to-date technologies used in research and construction of structures,” explains Forcellini. “The event will be able to attract, in addition to a series of prestigious scholars ready to take stock of current and broad-interest issues, local professionals involved in construction and civil engineering in general, together with architects, surveyors and other figures active in planning and prevention, on the one hand, and in the management processes of seismic events, on the other".
During the symposium, which will take place at the Kursaal Congress Center under the patronage of the Secretariat of State for the Territory, academics from the Universities of San Marino and Birmingham will speak, as well as from the Swinburne University of Technology, the Griffith School of Engineering and Built Environment and the University of California.
Forcellini will also be present among the speakers, who will explain the details of the methodologies used in the studies carried out in the historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
