Innovative Partnership for the Protection and Safety of Environmental Risks DRIC Defkalion project website DRIC Defkalion aims to tackle climate change impacts by taking adaptation measures to mitigate its effects. Many companies today, recognizing the environmental aspects of their activities, invest in resources [...]

Climate-aware risk and resilience assessment of urban areas under multiple environmental stressors via-tiered digital city twinning twin city project website TwinCity aims to leverage existing tools and services (e.g., climate models, modelling of extreme events and their impacts, EU services, etc.), and develop novel [...]

iDesign Enabling Seismic Design Decision-Making under Uncertainty The primary objective is the development of a simple yet accurate method for performance-based design of structures in seismic areas. In essence, we seek to revolutionize the standard process that every professional structural engineer undertakes to design a structure [...]

Risk assessment for the seismic protection of industrial facilities rasor project website The main objective of the RASOR project is to develop a systematic PBEE methodology for the seismic risk mitigation of industrial equipment structures, focused on the most important structures of a typical [...]

Seismic Vulnerability Guidelines Development and Seismic Vulnerability Functions Guidelines (GEM-ASV) for developing analytical seismic vulnerability functions are offered for use within the framework of the Global Earthquake Model (GEM). Emphasis is on low/mid-rise buildings and cases where the analyst has the skills and time to perform [...]

SeaWind Performance-based design of offshore wind turbines A holistic methodology for performance-based wind/wave engineering is proposed to develop criteria for the feasibility evaluation and selection of optimum configuration of offshore wind turbines. Considering both fixed and floating alternatives, for intermediate water depths and for wind/wave [...]

Valorisation of innovative seismic devices innoseis project website Valorization actions for 12 innovative anti-seismic devices will be undertaken. The devices were recently developed in the frame of RFCS, EU and national research projects by the partners involved in the project. Information documents for [...]
