Ario Ceccotti - "‘Earthquake proof resilient timber buildings" - ArchiDesign Timber Talks

ArchiDesign Timber Talks ’22-23 hosted Ario Ceccotti.
Dr. Ario Ceccotti is a civil engineer who has pioneered timber engineering in Italy. As a researcher at the University of Florence, he focused on wood construction structural performance since the early 80’s. During his tenure as a Professor at the University of Venice, Faculty of Architecture, he was appointed the Director of IVALSA-CNR Trees and Timber Institute where he continued to serve until 2013, working on the ways how to valorize the use of wood in construction through new timber based products like CLT and hybrid components.
Dr. Ceccotti was the Chairman of 2010 World Conference of Timber Engineering, and he served as a member of the drafting panel of Eurocode 5 (“Timber Structures”) and Eurocode 8 (“Seismic Design of Structures”), ENV versions. He was a visiting professor at EPFL, Lausanne and at UBC, Vancouver. As visiting scientist at Forintek Laboratory in Canada, Dr. Ceccotti initiated the way for a better understanding of the basics of timber construction for seismic behavior and design, and his work culminated with the outstanding SOFIE test conducted on a seven story CLT building on the shaking table of NIED Kobe Laboratory in Japan in year 2007. He has authored/co-authored more than 200 papers and three books, mostly on Timber Engineering.
From September 2018 to July 2021 Dr. Ceccotti has served as Invited Professor of “Timber Engineering” at Boğaziçi University.
This event ‘Earthquake proof resilient timber buildings: the “immediate occupancy” paradigm.’ moderated by Demet Sürücü.
