Prelegere in domeniul Ingineriei Vantului

Dragi colegi, Va anuntam ca prelegerea din data de 6 septembrie 2023 ce urma a fi sustinuta de domnul profesor Yukio Tamura se anuleaza din motive obiective. Din pacate, dansul nu a mai putut calatori in Romania. Prelegerea va fi re-programata, vom anunta noua data in urmatoarele saptamani. Multumim pentru intelegere.

Asociația Română de Ingineria Vântului (ARIV) împreună cu Universitatea Tehnică de Construcții București (UTCB) vă invită Miercuri, 6 septembrie 2023 să participați la prelegerea intitulată „Wind-related Disaster Risk Reduction. Introduction to structural Engineering” care va fi susținută de domnul Profesor Yukio Tamura.

Evenimentul va avea loc începând cu ora 10:00, în sala I.2 în localul Facultății de Construcții Civile Inductriale și Agricole din cadrul UTCB.

Yukio Tamura este profesor la School of Engineering, Chongquing University, Chongquing, China și profesor emerit la Tokyo Polytechnic University, Tokyo, Japonia. Mai multe informații despre biografia domnului Profesor Yukio Tamura pot fi consultate la link-ul care poate fi accesat scanând codul QR din anunț.
Acest eveniment este deschis tuturor celor interesați de domeniul ingineriei vântului și ingineriei civile în general. Prelegerea va fi susținută in limba engleză.

Abstract: Extreme wind events such as typhoons and tornadoes can cause devastating damage to structures and huge losses to human societies. This lecture first introduces the causes of damage to buildings and structures due to various types of winds, including extremely strong winds, medium-level winds and daily winds. Meteorological features, damage details and failure mechanisms of structures, factors related to damage generation and spread, and so on are discussed, with the aim of reducing future wind-related disaster risks and to create safer and sustainable societies. Regarding devastating wind-induced disasters due to tropical cyclones, the importance of combined effects of wind and water hazards is emphasized. It also points out human errors hidden in damage scenarios, especially for large buildings. Lessons derived from aerodynamic effects, cladding and component performances, debris impacts, building arrangements, fatigue effects, construction methods and so on together with suggestions for wind-resistant design of buildings are given. Various mitigation measures for wind-induced responses of buildings and structures, state-of-the art techniques in the wind engineering fields including data-base-assisted design, CFD simulations, and so on are also introduced. Finally, to cope with the future increasing trend of wind-related disasters, the importance of full-scale storm simulators is emphasized.
