- MG.8.2-2014: Next generation transport infrastructure: resource efficient, smarter and safer;
- MG.8.4-2015: Smart governance, network resilience and streamlined delivery of infrastructure innovation;
- DRS-7-2014: Crisis management topic 7: Crises and disaster resilience – operationalizing resilience concepts;
- DRS-11-2015: Disaster Resilience & Climate Change topic 3: Mitigating the impacts of climate change and natural hazards on cultural heritage sites, structures and artefacts;
- DRS-13-2015: Critical Infrastructure Protection topic 2: Demonstration activity on tools for adapting building and infrastructure standards and design methodologies in vulnerable locations in case of natural or man-originated catastrophes;
- DRS-14-2015: Critical Infrastructure Protection topic 3: Critical Infrastructure resilience indicator - analysis and development of methods for assessing resilience;
- DRS-17-2014/2015: Critical infrastructure protection topic 7: SME instrument topic: “Protection of urban soft targets and urban critical infrastructures” .
We can contribute in the following specific subjects:
- Design and rehabilitation of civil structures and infrastructures with regard to wind, earthquakes, waves, landslides, fire and explosions;
- Disaster resilience assessment;
- Advanced numerical modeling of civil structures and infrastructures;
- Forensic engineering;
- Sustainability and Energy Harvesting in Civil structures and infrastructures.
If you are forming a consortium and would like to involve a group with the above skills and expertise, please get in touch with us!

Structures of the Next Generation – Energy harvesting and Resilience
Stronger S.r.l. is a Spin-off Company (Small Medium Enterprise) that works as a
link between the Academia and the Industry in Civil and Environmental Engineering.
The Company offers high-profile tools and methodologies that lead to structures
that fulfill required performances under a resilience and sustainability point of
view.
With resilience it is intended the capacity of a system (intended as an aggregate of
interconnected elements such as structures and infrastructures) to resist negative
events (either of natural, accidental or exceptional origin), while at the same time, it
maintains an acceptable level of service and integrity and the capacity to reorganize
in an efficient manner.
With sustainability it is intended the requirement that leads to a rational use of
resources, direction of investments, technological and normative progress, with the
future needs of the society, as well as those current.

ABSTRACT OF THE WORK PROGRAMME
DRS-13-2015: Critical Infrastructure Protection topic 2:
Demonstration activity on …
Comprehensive approach should be developed that take into
account the security issue from the conceptual design of any
building to its operation (in the case of a critical infrastructure) or
use (in the case of households). Cascade failure of
interconnected infrastructure assets (installations for energy,
transport, water, ICT) due to co-location or hub-functions needs
to be avoided. The comparison of different solutions tested
should include cost and cost/benefit analyses, and societal
implications
The proposal shall develop methods and tools for adapting
building and infrastructure standards and design methodologies
(…). Furthermore the research proposal shall demonstrate its
finding, taking into account the occurrence of different types of
natural (climate or geological) hazards, and including
comparative cost and cost/benefit analyses. The topic will
complement Seventh Framework Programme research focusing
on impacts of extreme weather on critical infrastructure.

development of methods for assessing resilience
The proposal shall demonstrate that a set of common and
thoroughly validated indicators, including economic indicators,
could be applied to critical infrastructures in order to assess its
level of “resilience”, moreover a scale approach of “resilience”
level should be proposed across critical infrastructures (energy
grids, transportation, government, nuclear research
infrastructures, water, etc.). The methodology shall be based on
at least four types of critical infrastructure as test cases. Specific
models and modeling approaches will be proposed(..). security
metrics and indicators will be proposed that could be used in the
developed models to quantify to the possible extent the
considered risk and impact as well as give guidance to the
possible mitigation techniques – approaches. New methods of
assessing resilience based upon comprehensive threat,
criticality, and vulnerability assessments are of outmost
importance. Proposals should follow a uniformed comprehensive
and holistic approach at all levels (e.g. EU, country, local) (….) .
