Structural resilience and the role of the civil engineer

Whether it be from deterioration and ageing, a change of use, or the impacts of climate change, modern day structures must be more resilient than ever to hazards and stressors. But what are these hazards? How resilient are current structures? And how important is it to consider resilience in a holistic sense?

In this podcast, Stergios-Aristoteles Mitoulis, senior fellow at the University of Birmingham and Sotirios Argyroudis, lecturer at Brunel University London – founders of InfrastructuReseilience and bridgeUkraine – join hosts Mark Hansford, ICE director of engineering knowledge and Alex Wynne, ICE knowledge content director, to explore these questions, and discuss the civil engineer's role in ensuring structural resilience.
