Restitution of the workshop Seismic risk and structural resistance
Date Le 08.06.2022
This webinar will focus on the proceedings of the technical workshop "Seismic Risk and Structural Strength" at the Woodrise 2021 conference held in Japan from 15 to 17 October.

During this workshop, the speakers presented the latest construction methods as well as the normative context of their respective countries (Japan, USA, Canada, New Zealand), in particular the new uses of CLT and “resilient” construction methods, i.e. easily repaired after a disaster.

We will also present work on assessing the health of historic structures, on the development of damping systems for high-rise buildings and finally a major test planned for June 2022: a full-scale seismic test on a ten-storey CLT building!

On the program:

  • Latest construction methods and normative context (Japan, USA, Canada, New Zealand);
  • Health assessment of historic structures;
  • Development of damping systems for high-rise buildings;
  • Presentation of a large-scale seismic test;
  • Questions and Answers

Speaker: Thomas Catterou, Mechanical/Dynamic Wood Structure Research Engineer, FCBA
