Intelligent buildings
Designing ‘intelligent’ buildings to resist earthquakes could potentially save thousands of lives every year. The University of Leeds has been collaborating on a £9.5m EU funded project with a number of partners, including ‘Instrumentel’ a Yorkshire based SME, to test ways of building safer housing in earthquake zones. With self-healing polymers and wireless, battery-less sensors to provide early warning, incorporated into the walls, the eventual prototype will be built on a Greek mountainside in Amfilochia.
