In the framework of the EU UCPM funded project "Earthquake Resilient Schools: EReS", a Workshop was held at the ITSAK premises among the project Partners:

(1) Institute of Engineering Seismology and Earthquake Engineering (ITSAK-EPPO, Greece),

and its subcontractor Department of Civil Engineering, Aristotle University Thessaloniki

https://www.itsak.gr/en/

(2) International Hellenic University (IHU, Greece)

(3) Disaster and Emergency Management Presidency (AFAD, Turkey)

(4) Gebze technical University (GTU, Turkey)

https://www.gtu.edu.tr/

 

The Workshop focused in Real-Time Seismic Monitoring and Damage Assessment in Greece-Turkiye Cross Border Area(CBA), emphasizing the importance of monitoring school buildings to assess their seismic response. Using low-cost accelerometers and real-time data analysis, it highlighted methods for rapid assessment of structural damage, such as inter-story drift and stiffness degradation. The findings of the project can enhance seismic preparedness and provide tools for rapid post-earthquake assessments.

In addition, the Workshop's participants concluded that:

  • The EReS project delivers critical advancements in seismic hazard and risk assessment for the Greece-Türkiye CBA, fostering collaboration and data sharing through platforms like the REDA System.
  • It enhances the region's resilience to seismic events by harmonizing methodologies and focusing on vulnerable infrastructures such as schools.
  • Future work should continue in integrating real-time monitoring systems, refining risk assessment models to further support local authorities in earthquake preparedness and mitigation efforts as well as in dissemination activities.
