TOPICS
FORMER FREQUENT TOPICS OF SHATIS
- Historic timber structures
- Traditional practices, materials and techniques
- Timber properties and methodology in diagnosis
- Case studies
- Basics of structural design for existing structures
- Structural interventions – traditional and engineering techniques and installation
- Experimental analytical methods and tests, non-destructive or minimum invasive techniques
- Structural evaluation, interventions and safety assessment (fire, earthquakes)
- Monitoring and survey of (historic) timber structures, development of monitoring techniques
NEW TOPICS TO BE CONSIDERED:
- JOINT ANALYSIS -traditional carpentry joints, engineering interventions, modelling of joints
- BIOLOGICAL DAMAGE OF THE WOOD: detection, intervention and prevention
- ENGINEERING TECHNIQUES IN RETROFITTING – approach and novelties
- NUMERICAL MODELLING – structural, seismic
- DIGITALIZATION in structural analysis and assessment
- EDUCATION for specific knowledge in assessment and retrofitting – requirements, experience, internationalization
- UPGRADING OF EXISTING BUILDINGS (e.g. by CLT), vertical extensions, exostrengthening
