the long days of, IF CRASC '15

IF CRASC ’15, the Second Congress on Forensic Engineering and the Sixth Congress on Collapses, Reliability and Retrofit of Structures, concluded today at the Faculty of Civil and Industrial Engineering of the Sapienza University of Rome. Together with my colleagues at StroNGER srl (principal sponsor of the event) we have prepared a Facebook page with news from the conference: https://www.facebook.com/IFCRASC15 The conference was a great success, with more than 80 presentations, and 150 delegates.
On top of being a member of the organizing committee, I contributed with four papers:

• Milana, G., Olmati, P., Gkoumas, K. Scenario Based Structural Robustness Assessment of Tall Diagrid Structures.
• Olmati, P., Gkoumas, K. Simplified FEM Modelling for the Collapse Assessment of a Masonry Vault.
• Di Santo, C., Gkoumas, K., Bontempi. F. Risk analysis for severe traffic accidents in road tunnels (Part I).
• Di Santo, C., Gkoumas, K. Risk analysis for severe traffic accidents in road tunnels (Part II).

I have already uploaded all papers on my research gate account. My former students Carmine di Santo and Giulia Milana gave two talks on Friday from two of the above papers.
