Civil Research Group
For sustainable and resilient buildings and infrastructure
RISE has been focused on several research topics for sustainable and resilient buildings and infrastructure.


Short Course | Structural Health Monitoring | Belgium
A 12-hour blended short course designed to pose the structural health monitoring (SHM) in the context of a statistical pattern recognition paradigm to support the damage identification process and risk-informed integrity management. This course is organized in the context (one day before) of the IABSE Congress Ghent, on August 26, 2025. Registration is already available here.

Summer Course on Structural Health Monitoring 2025 (3rd Edition)
5 ECTS | July 14-18, 2025, in person (30h) | 15h remotely | MSc and PhD Students

Short Course 6h | Structural Health Monitoring | United States
This in-person 1-day 6-hour short course poses the structural health monitoring (SHM) applied to bridges and special civil structures in the context of a pattern recognition paradigm with hands-on experiences. It will be held in Palo Alto, California, on September 8, 2025, just before the International Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring (IWSHM) 2025. The registration is separated from the workshop. You can register here.

GeoHyTE Software
GeoHyTE is a computational tool for the automatic identification of the small strain shear modulus of geomaterials from the output signal of bender element tests.

INTENT – Intelligent health monitoring of road infrastructures using bender elements embedded in pavements
INTENT is a R&D project to develop a new bender element for the continuous monitoring of the dynamic stiffness of unbound granular layers, and use it, along with conventional sensors and advanced numerical models, to fuel machine learning algorithms for continuous monitoring of pavements.
