Tο Τμήμα Πολιτικών Μηχανικών του Πανεπιστημίου Πατρών διοργανώνει σεμινάριο που απευθύνεται σε προπτυχιακούς/ές και μεταπτυχιακούς/ές φοιτητές/τριες του Τμήματος, αλλά και ενδιαφερόμενους/ες άλλων Τμημάτων. Το σεμινάριο θα πραγματοποιηθεί την Πέμπτη 7 Μαΐου 2026 και ώρα 13:00 στο Τμήμα Πολιτικών Μηχανικών του Πανεπιστημίου Πατρών στο αμφιθέατρο «Μαστρογιάννης». Ομιλητής είναι ο Δρ. Solomon Tesfamariam, Καθηγητής στο Πανεπιστήμιο του Waterloo
Σύντομο Βιογραφικό: Dr. Solomon Tesfamariam is a Professor and University Research Chair at the University of Waterloo. Prior to University of Waterloo, he was a Professor and Principal’s Research Chair in the Resilient and Sustainable Built Environment at the UBC Okanagan Campus. Over his 15 years’ tenure at UBC, he has been a leader in the research and pedagogy of resilient tall timber and hybrid buildings. His research outcomes have pushed limits of large-scale engineered cross-laminated timber (CLT) and hybrid structures in the design of high-rise buildings. His tall timber research entails consideration of multi-hazard (earthquake, wind, fire) interactions. His multi-hazard tall building design research has been supported by various government and industrial partners. Outcomes of his research are published through industrial reports and various peer-reviewed journals, and have been presented at international conferences.
Περίληψη: A rapid growth of urban populations and associated environmental concerns are challenging city planners and developers to consider sustainable building systems. Using new CLT and glulam mass-timber technology, mid- and high-rise timber buildings are becoming attractive solutions. Current objective-based design approaches in the NBCC 2020, however need additional provisions to cover the unique design challenges posed by such tall timber-based hybrid buildings. These challenges span, often having conflicting objectives, a lack of seismic design provisions, understanding performance of the structures under fire loads, and lack of wind design guidelines to satisfy the serviceability and strength criteria. In this talk, the current state of the art on the performance-based design of tall timber buildings under earthquake and fire loads is discussed.
