Proceedings of EAEE WG15 Summer Workshop

The Summer Workshop of the European Association of Earthquake Engineering (EAEE) Working Group 15 (WG15) was intended to provide a forum for the ad hoc assembly of knowledge to produce State-of-the-Art papers for dissemination at the European level. Based on the reported activities of the WG15 members and their collaborators, visions have been developed based on promising integrated techniques for environmental refurbishment and seismic retrofitting. The state-of-the-art results collected have been compared with the outcomes from each WG sub-group and will be used to develop a technical position paper for the scientific community, practitioners, and policymakers. The position paper will provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art results, identify key gaps in the current research, and make recommendations for future research and policy decisions. The contribution of the experts will ensure that the position paper is based on current evidence and best practices. More than 30 experts have contributed their work to the workshop. This was ultimately successful in creating an understanding of the current research conducted in different seismic-prone regions, as well as potential areas of future development. The proceedings include the presentations and final discussion from the workshop.
