2023; structures still collapse during an earthquake
Talk or debate
24 May 2023 18:30 - 20:00
This event has finished
Description
The number of buildings that collapsed in the recent earthquake in Turkey shows the structures built with the most recent construction techniques are still vulnerable to significant seismic events. The talk systematically analyses the most common reasons for structural collapse, infrastructure failure, and fatalities during seismic events and the most recent technologies to reduce seismic vulnerability and risk.
The talk will also will also discuss the results of two European projects where ARU was a partner and which looked at the risk of earthquake-induced soil liquefaction and early warning system for earthquakes.
Refreshments from 6pm
Lecture from 6.30pm
Parking at Anglia Ruskin University, Chelmsford Campus
After 4:30 pm all car parks within the campus are available for free parking via a barrier which requires alerting security on entry, via a button at the barrier. The nearest car park is on the east side of the Queens building on Hoffmans Way but this is often full by 7:00 pm. A good alternative is the student village which has 84 spaces reached from Bishops Hall Lane and Ransomes Way. For those who are prepared for a short walk there is the Tindal Building car park with 63 spaces reached from Alan Cherry Drive. Avoid the Rivermead Gate shopper’s car park which is limited to one hour and is not part of the campus. All of these car parks are shown on the Chelmsford Campus map:
