Resilient Infrastructures and Built Environment

Resilient Infrastructures and Built Environment

Research Cluster Overview

Research Cluster: Digital Revolution and Scientific Futures
Topic: Resilient Infrastructures and Built Environment
Theme: Aligned with SDGs (8, 9, 11, and 15)

The Resilient Infrastructures and Built Environment Research Cluster will explore how and why innovative engineering solutions can strengthen the resilience of infrastructures in the face of natural and human-induced challenges. Their research emphasizes the critical role of integrating structural engineering, materials science, and environmental sustainability to enhance the durability and adaptability of the built environment. The studies from the Resilient Infrastructures and Built Environment Research Cluster will advance the scholarship of sustainable and resilient infrastructure systems within this framework. By utilizing both empirical and theoretical approaches, including simulations, real-world data analysis, and interdisciplinary collaboration, this research contributes to developing more robust, sustainable, and adaptable infrastructures that ensure the safety and well-being of communities.
