Resilient Engineering of Ductile Bonded Masonry: Understanding Dynamic Behavior and Seismic Response Across Scales

Conference · 28–29 September 2026

ResiBOND at the 14th Meeting of the Croatian Society of Mechanics

ResiBOND project team members Nina Čeh, Emina Hadžalić and Katarina Lenart, from the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Rijeka, participated in the meeting at the Mechanical Engineering Faculty in Slavonski Brod.

The presentations covered topics related to ResiBOND: the characterisation of polyurethane binders, modelling of adhesive joints and nonsmooth contact dynamics.
