The International Conference on Smart Monitoring, Assessment and Rehabilitation of Civil Structures, SMAR 2013, will provide a forum for international scientists, engineers, enterprisers and infrastructure managers to present and discuss the state-of-the-practice and recent advances in testing and monitoring technology, in structural modelling and assessment methods, and in the application of advanced materials for structural rehabilitation. The conference will provide a platform for exploring the potential of international cooperation.

08/01/2013

At Structural Engineering Research Laboratory of Empa, we do research for a higher level of safety and security in civil engineering structures.
Through the application of modern materials and technologies, new solutions in vibration mitigation, structural health monitoring and earthquake retrofitting will be acquired.
