As part of the MULTICARE project, essential tests were conducted at the Romanian pilot site, located at Intrarea Văcărești No. 2. These tests represent a significant step in understanding and enhancing the structural resilience of buildings subjected to seismic hazards.
Focus of the Tests
The tests concentrated on assessing the materials within the building, including brick, concrete, and reinforcement. These materials were evaluated to determine their condition and their capacity to withstand structural stress.
Why These Tests Are Critical?
The data collected from these tests will play a pivotal role in the precise dimensioning of strengthening elements planned under the MULTICARE framework. Ensuring the building’s resilience is vital for creating sustainable and multi-hazard-adaptive structures.
The MULTICARE Approach
These tests are not just about structural evaluation – they embody the project’s commitment to advancing a low-carbon, resilient built environment. By leveraging multi-functional technologies and methodologies, MULTICARE aims to create adaptive solutions that respond to diverse climatic and socio-economic challenges.
Next Steps
This pilot marks the beginning of a journey where technological and methodological innovation meets real-world application. The findings will guide the implementation of plug-and-play modular technologies designed to enhance the resilience and sustainability of the built environment.
