Descripción del proyecto
Aumento de la resiliencia de los ladrillos siguiendo técnicas antiguas
Los ladrillos son materiales de construcción tradicionales ampliamente utilizados desde la antigüedad en todo el mundo. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos CLAYONRISK tiene por objeto fomentar procesos de fabricación de ladrillos que mitiguen los efectos negativos de los fenómenos meteorológicos extremos y los terremotos sobre las estructuras históricas. El proyecto proporcionará el primer marco sistemático en el que los ladrillos se tratan como medida preventiva para reducir y gestionar el riesgo de desastres, basado en antiguas técnicas de fabricación. Para este fin, llevará a cabo un estudio multidisciplinario y comparativo de los ladrillos, tanto antiguos como modernos, además de adoptar un método multianalítico para determinar la resistencia de los ladrillos a lo largo del tiempo. La transferencia intersectorial de conocimientos que fomente el proyecto promoverá el desarrollo de un protocolo, impulsado por la cooperación entre el mundo académico y la industria.
Objetivo
The CLAYONRISK project mainly aims to foster bricks manufacture processes in order to mitigate the negative impact of extreme weather events and earthquakes on historical structures. As a traditional building material widely used from ancient times and worldwide, both eco-innovative solutions and socio-cultural values of peoples will be tackled. For first time, the manufacturing of building bricks is addressed as a preventive measure for Disaster Risk Reduction management. Starting from: i) bricks decay due to climate change make ancient structures much more vulnerable to seismic risk, and ii) the negative impact of disasters on historical structures could be mitigated by improving the physical properties of bricks, directly influenced by the manufacturing parameters, a multidisciplinary and comparative study of bricks -both ancient and currently produced- is accomplished. Archaeometric methodologies by means of multianalytical approach is followed and building bricks resistance over time is assessed considering their mechanical behavior after ageing tests performance. Northern Italy entails an outstanding site to accomplish the project, as it is a high humidity area with regular seismic activity where the geology has enhanced an exceptional architecture shaped by bricks and a ceramic industry leadership. With a cutting-edge scope, CLAYONRISK will state bricks resistance over time and the achievement of technological improvements and sustainable solutions towards the strengthening of heritage (and new) constructions, ensuring peoples traditions and the socio-cultural values of ancient structures. The intersectorial transfer of knowledge fostered by CLAYONRISK will promote a protocol development, launched by the academy-industry cooperation and where bricks entail a transnational understanding resource to aware the European cultural identity. The project entails a broad range of opportunities for the candidate and will enlarge her research prospects in the future.
