Research Stay: Multiscale consequence studies for hazard impact on structures in Iraq (25 Nov - 31. Dec 2022)
In part of the research project, M.Sc. Peshawa Luqman and M.Sc. Baban Bapir went for a research stay from 25 Nov to 31. Dec 2022. The project team collected data and performed a series of field studies under the supervision of the project coordinator at the partner university in Iraq.
The field work included collection of past earthquakes, flood and meteorological data as well as the instrumentation and monitoring of blast-damaged buildings in the city Mosul. In addition, a large-scale building stock survey was initiated through a hybrid-workshop (attended by 45 students and 18 members of the academic staff) to identify the dominant building typologies and representative features of the structures in Iraq. The collected data will be used to classify the building typologies based on vulnerability, develop multi-scale risk maps and, assess the damaged structures within ongoing PhD studies.
