Historical and Masonry Structures
The group consists of 25 PhD members, led by Paulo B. Lourenço and integrated in two clusters. Originally centred in “Historical”, i.e. existing buildings with cultural value, often referred to as architectural heritage (majority in masonry and timber, but also 20th century heritage), and “Masonry”, i.e. new masonry construction.
Overview
Group HMS - Historical Masonry
The group interests are wider, with relevant activity in timber structures, infrastructure management and geotechnical engineering. Conservation of the built heritage includes non-destructive testing and monitoring, advanced experimental characterization, sophisticated numerical simulation tools, earthquake engineering, repair and strengthening techniques, durability, management systems and life cycle analysis.
Re-use of structural masonry and timber aims at developing integral building solutions (all functional requirements) and modular solutions. Infrastructure management has a strong focus on assessment of bridges and transportation networks, including risk management and extreme events. Geotechnics has a focus on ground parameters and performance predictions, namely for rock masses, slope management and railways engineering.

ISISE Day Out 2024 Highlights! 🌟
On July 11th, over 200 participants gathered at the University of Guimarães for a vibrant and engaging ISISE Day Out. The morning was filled with social activities, including a scenic hike and a Peddy-paper challenge along Vizela's boardwalk. Twenty teams worked together, fostering teamwork and camaraderie.
The afternoon featured a workshop with presentations by PhD students and postdoctoral researchers from each ISISE group. We were honored to have Cristiano Premebida from the Institute of Systems and Robotics (University of Coimbra) deliver a keynote on Machine Learning in Intelligent Vehicles/Transportation Systems.
The day concluded with the ISISE awards for best presentations. Congratulations to Sinem Tola (PhD candidate) and David Andrade (Post-Doc) for their well-deserved wins!
This event was a fantastic platform for academic exchange and strengthened our community bonds. We look forward to the next ISISE Day Out and thank everyone for their enthusiastic participation!

Recently, the SÍSMICA 2024 (buff.ly/3OebiyW) Congress took place at the University of Minho.
The event spanned 2.5 days of intense scientific discussion on topics relevant to the challenges faced by seismology and seismic engineering in Portugal.
Many thanks to the keynote speakers, @Ricardo Monteiro, @Shaghayegh Karimzadeh, @Rita Bento and @António Costa, for their valuable contributions to the Congress.
Appreciation is also extended to the sponsors, @Pretensa, @Sika, @Fibre Net, @Biu Internacional, @Kerakoll and @S&P, whose support was crucial in achieving a high level of excellence in all activities carried out.
The Congress also included the awarding of the "Young Presenter Award" and the "Carlos Sousa Oliveira Award."
The Book of Proceedings (buff.ly/3w3Sxcv) is available for free download, containing 40% of the articles written in English.
