Objective
The Re-BUILD-EU (Resilient BUILDings: Integrated Loss & Damage Decision-support for Earthquake Recovery in EUrope) project tackles a critical challenge in Europe’s seismically vulnerable regions, where current post-earthquake building assessment methods are often inefficient, subjective, and lack scalability to ensure public safety and protect cultural heritage.To address this, the project aims to revolutionize post-disaster recovery by developing and validating an innovative, integrated end-to-end pipeline to accelerate and improve the reliability of structural damage evaluation. This will be achieved via cutting-edge multi-sensor data acquisition—using UAVs, Terrestrial Laser Scanning, Infrared Thermography, and Ground Penetrating Radar—combined with a reliability-aware AI framework for automated, objective damage detection and classification.The project will then translate AI-driven damage intelligence into actionable engineering insights through rapid, physics-based model updating, enabling accurate estimation of a structure’s residual capacity. All outputs will be consolidated into a practitioner-focused Decision-Support System, providing transparent, uncertainty-aware recommendations (Repair, Shore, Demolish) aligned with European protocols for effective emergency decision-making.Robustness and effectiveness will be demonstrated through real-world pilot studies and comprehensive numerical and uncertainty analysis. The host organisation offers leading expertise in seismic damage assessment, advanced sensing, and reliability-aware AI, creating an ideal research environment.This project, together with advanced training in data fusion, AI, and technology transfer, will be key in establishing the fellow as an independent leader in seismic resilience and disaster recovery, ready to drive innovation and impact at European and global levels.
