Joint ROMA3 - UCL workshop on:
CURRENT ASSESSMENT METHODS
IN EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING
Rome, June 12, 2015
University Roma Tre, Department of Engineering, Doctoral School in Civil Engineering
Via Vito Volterra, 62 – 00146 Rome, Italy – Civil Engineering – Seminar Room
Objectives of the workshop
The aim of the workshop is to provide postgraduate students, research students and practicing engineers with the current
research issues on performance-based earthquake engineering. Current assessment methods will be presented on
different topics of earthquake engineering, ranging from tall buildings, steel and reinforced-concrete framed buildings,
bridges, existing masonry structures, as well as industrial plants.
Organization and participation
The workshop is jointly organized by the Department of Engineering of the University Roma Tre and the Earthquake
and People Interaction Centre (EPICentre) at University College London. A maximum of 50 participants will be
accepted. No fees are requested, but reservation is needed. Those wishing to attend the course should contact the
