Steel-Earth Project

steel-earth ("steel-based applications in earthquake-prone areas") is a european rfcs project of dissemination. it started in july 2014 and it will end in december 2015. steel-earth is born on the needs to develop practical tools and documents to exploit results obtained in 3 lucky rfcs research projects: opus, steelretro, precasteel. aforementioned projects aimed at improving earthquake resisting steel structural solutions in different fields: the design of new constructions, the rehabilitation of existing structures and the modern design standards. steel-earth is the first valorisation project in rfcs on earthquake engineering and summarise the efforts in last years aiming at the development of enhanced constructive, design and prenormative solutions. the proposed dissemination activities are of paramount importance to transfer obtained results in current design practice and standards.
