Scientific expedition

	Activity description	Institution / Organization
2019/12/14 - 2019/12/15	Participation in a field mission, organized by the Hellenic Association of Earthquake Engineering (HAEE/ETAM), for structural and geotechnical damage inspection in Durrës and Thumanë after the M6.4 earthquake that struck the Northwestern Albania on November 26th 2019. The purpose of the mission was to observe damage patterns, evaluate the seismic performance of structures providing preliminary conclusions and, potentially, to transfer knowledge regarding the current code provisions for the design and retrofit of earthquake-resistant structures.
