Project description
 

A practically applicable methodology in order to assess the structural robustness and to compare structural measures to achieve this needs to be developed. The research will focus on (i) assessing the applicability of different robustness indicators, (ii) developing an integrated assessment methodology taking into account membrane action and robustness indicators, and (iii) developing validated design guidelines.
