From May 1st to May 26th, Xavier Estrella, postdoctoral researcher at the Structural Xploration Lab, will conduct a research stay at the Civil and Environmental Engineering Faculty at Technion with funding awarded by the EuroTech Visiting Researcher Programme. The visit will focus on exploring new solutions for lateral load-resisting systems designed for disassembly and reuse, aiming at tackling the high levels of construction waste and demolition observed nowadays. The work will be conducted along with Orlen Laval, Associate Professor at Technion working on the optimal design of civil infrastructure under dynamic loads.
