Speaker(s): Thierry Bernard

Are cracks in buildings really created by vibration? The results of this unique study that has analysed millions of measurements (seismic, extensometric, and temperature) to define what relationship exists between the levels of vibration and the movement of cracks. These surprising results will change our perception of the subject.
