Description du projet
Augmenter la résilience des briques sur la base de technologies anciennes
Les briques sont des matériaux de construction traditionnels couramment utilisés depuis l’Antiquité dans le monde entier. Le projet CLAYONRISK, financé par l’UE, a pour objectif de stimuler les processus de fabrication de briques afin d’atténuer l’impact négatif des événements climatiques extrêmes et des tremblements de terre sur les ouvrages historiques. Le projet fournira le premier cadre systématique au sein duquel les briques sont considérées comme une mesure préventive pour la réduction et la gestion des risques de catastrophes, sur la base des anciennes technologies de fabrication. À cette fin, il mènera une étude pluridisciplinaire et comparative des briques, tant anciennes que modernes, et adoptera une approche plurianalytique pour évaluer la résistance des briques dans le temps. Le transfert intersectoriel de connaissances encouragé par le projet favorisera le développement d’un protocole, lancé par la coopération entre le monde universitaire et l’industrie.
Objectif
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.
