Research Group on Resilient and sustainable Concrete Infrastructure (ReSusCon)

This research group addresses the challenges and needs for more resilient and sustainable concrete structures through an interdisciplinary and holistic approach. This group, then, seeks to bridge the technological gaps identified in the concrete construction sector and in the development of durable and sustainable infrastructure. Likewise, we seek to improve the quality of life in our urban systems through the development of technologies that improve the resilience of our homes, buildings, and civil infrastructure, new and existing, in the face of seismic disasters.

The Research Group on Resilient and Sustainable Concrete Infrastructure is dedicated to developing innovative solutions to transform the construction industry and civil infrastructure development. Their work ranges from designing new sustainable and recyclable concrete materials to implementing advanced technologies such as additive manufacturing (3D printing) and artificial intelligence to optimize the design, diagnosis, and monitoring of structures. Additionally, the group aims to improve circularity in construction, enhance the durability of concrete structures, and strengthen their resilience to seismic events, promoting modular systems and efficient construction methods that minimize environmental impact.
