Buildings Awards

Dear Colleagues,

As Editor-in-Chief of Buildings, I am pleased to announce that the winner of the 2019 Buildings Travel Award is: André Furtado, a PhD student in Seismic Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (Portugal), whose research focuses on the “Seismic vulnerability assessment and innovative retrofitting strategies for masonry infilled frame buildings considering in-plane and out-of-plane behaviour”. A presentation regarding to “Experimental assessment of a strengthening strategy to improve the masonry infills out-of-plane behaviour throught textile reinforced mortar” will be made by him at a conference in 2019.

On behalf of the Buildings team, I would like to congratulate Mr. André Furtado for all his achievements!
