The project “RISKSOLVE – Evaluation and investigation of seismic risk reduction solutions for buildings, before and after earthquakes” – a starting point in the scientific cooperation of NIRD URBAN-INCERC, Romania, with IEM Harbin, P.R. of China
Journal Title: Construcţii - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper presents the framework and outcomes of a Joint Research Project between NIRD URBAN-INCERC, Bucharest, Romania and IEM Harbin, P. R. of China with the topic “Evaluation and Investigation of Seismic Risk Reduction Solutions for Buildings, Before and After Earthquakes”. The Project “RISKSOLVE” aimed at an exchange of information between experts from Romania and P.R. of China on legal framework for seismic design of buildings, seismic risk reduction and disaster prevention in each country. The study of sites with seismic risk, processing and evaluating the strong motion recordings was associated with the study of earthquake resistance and behaviour of building systems, correlation of damaged buildings patterns, properties and characteristics of materials and seismic site conditions. On the other hand, the design code solutions, as well as adequate retrofitting methods and construction details were evaluated, based on dynamic – seismic and static experimental tests on chosen solutions. The counterparts obtained promising results and information, useful to earthquake engineering researchers, in view of achievement of top scientific and technological results and future cooperation Romania – China.
