TRUSS researchers participated at the Special Session SS-6 titled “TRUSS ITN - Reducing Uncertainty in Structural Safety”, which is the last network-wide event planned in the grant agreement of the project. The Special Session about TRUSS was held as part of the 6th International Symposium on Life-Cycle Civil Engineering in Ghent (Belgium) from 28th [...]
This paper serves as a complement to the joint paper on TRUSS progress in bridge engineering already reported in SHMII-8. Here TRUSS ESRs and supervisors deal with TRUSS progress on infrastructure research other than bridges (i.e., braided FRP, concrete, nuclear racks, wind turbine towers, ships and ship unloaders and pavements). The title is 'Contributions [...]
TRUSS ESRs and supervisors from WP5 have jointly published a paper on the project overall as well as results to date in each individual project carrying out research on bridges in a major conference on Structural Health Monitoring. The title is 'Structural Health Monitoring Developments in TRUSS Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network', by A. González, F. [...]
Rui Teixeira (ESR4) talked about his TRUSS paper titled "Random variables in the Offshore Wind Turbine fatigue reliability design with Kriging surfaces" in the 2nd International Conference on Structural Integrity (ICSI) that also hosted the 2nd Multi-Lateral Workshop on Fracture and Structural Integrity related Issues in Funchal, the island of Madeira (Portugal) from 4th to 7th September 2017. The paper [...]
The coordinator, Dr. Arturo Gonzalez, presented the TRUSS paper entitled "Developments in damage assessment by Marie Skłodowska-Curie TRUSS ITN project" at the 12th International Conference on Damage Assessment of Structures (DAMAS 2017). DAMAS 2017 took place in the International Conference Center at Kitakyushu (Japan) from 10th to 12th July. The event brought together the expertise of about 150 [...]
TRUSS researchers participated at the Symposium titled “TRUSS, A Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network in Structural Safety”, held as part of the 27th edition of the ESREL (European Safety and Reliability) conference series in Portoroz (Slovenia) from 18th to 22nd June 2017. TRUSS was featured in Room Europa D of Grand Hotel Bernardin on Tuesday 20th [...]
Guang Zou, ESR5, was awarded a "Best Paper Presentation" prize at the 18th International Conference on Reliability and Structural Safety (ICRSS 2016), held in Venice (Italy) on the 7th and 8th November 2016. The "Best Presentation Award" was recognised in the form of a signed and stamped official certificate, and selected amongst 73 oral presentations based [...]
Here, our ESR 8, Barbara Heitner, reports on her findings to the research community using two different means of presentation: a poster in an international conference and a sequence of slides in a seminar held locally. Barbara had the chance to present a poster at the Ninth International Conference on Bridges in Danube Basin, where she is from. [...]
With 119 full peer-reviewed technical papers, 5 keynote papers and over 180 delegates registered for the Civil Engineering Research in Ireland 2016 (CERI2016) conference, this edition, held in the Engineering Building at National University of Ireland (NUI) Galway, on 29th and 30th August, has been the largest in the conference series to date. The event counted [...]
Three Early Stage Researchers (ESRs) were present in European conferences organised jointly at the Euskalduna Conference Center in Bilbao (Spain) from 5th to 8th July 2016. António Barrias (ESR11) and JJ Moughty (ESR10) from Universitat Politécnica de Catalunya and Matteo Vagnoli (ESR9) from University of Nottingham attended the 8th European Workshop on Civil Structural Health Monitoring (EWSHM 2016) and the 3th European [...]
