Rapid earthquake assessment under uncertain conditions

This course covers the design of common structural elements to Eurocode 2. Participants will be introduced to concrete material properties and learn about designing for durability and fire.

This course provides guidance on specific aspects of demolition and refurbishment from an engineering perspective, while addressing safety, environmental and sustainability influences.

This talk examines the structural design and seismic resilience of the new Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) building, highlighting its exposed-concrete system, triple pendulum isolation, and construction challenges associated with a continuous, joint-free structure.

This course delivers key advice and guidance on seismic design of structures to Eurocode 8 as well as the application of the Eurocode. Emphasis is placed on reinforced concrete buildings although the concepts are widely applicable.

This lecture explores the delivery of an award‑winning, earthquake‑resistant project in rural Rwanda, examining context‑specific challenges of working with local materials in a seismic zone while building skills, supply chains, and lasting community impact.

This blog, from Yasemin D. Aktas (EEFIT Management Committee Chair), discusses the importance of publishing mission journals which can provide a real-time account of the post-disaster recovery process.

This lecture showcased how the annual grants supported two short-term projects that benefit earthquake disaster mitigation and post disaster reconnaissance efforts.

This joint virtual reconniassance report into the magntiude 6.0 31 August 2025 eastern Afghanistan earthquake details the earthquakes impact and aftermath.

This project, funded by the Institution’s 2024/25 Undergraduate Grant Scheme, investigates whether a low-cost, programmable LEGO-based shaking table can be used to simulate real seismic activity using real-world earthquake data.
