C12 - Improvement of buildings structural quality by new technologies

The main objective of this Action was to develop, combine and disseminate new engineering technologies, to improve the quality of urban buildings, to propose new technical solutions to architects and planners, to reduce the disturbances of the construction process in urban areas and finally to improve the quality of living in the urban habitat.

It focuses not only at the building design and construction itself, but by use of new methods and improved materials supports also higher efficiency, increased safety and energy savings and recycling of the materials.
