Disseminate research knowledge
May 3, 2016
The research team of the knowledge dissemination project on “Design, Construction and Reinforcement of Earthquake-resistant Buildings for Engineers and Communities in Earthquake-Prone Areas”, NRCT, led by Prof. Dr. Amorn Pimanmas, organized a practical training to transfer knowledge from research and practical training to create structural engineering readiness in earthquake-prone areas at Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna, Chiang Rai Campus, under the collaboration between NRCT and the Engineering Council of Thailand. Approximately 100 people were interested in joining the training. The activities included a lecture on “Lessons from the Mae Lao, Nepal, Taiwan, Kumamoto, Japan and Ecuador Earthquakes to Prepare for Buildings in Thailand” by Prof. Dr. Amorn and a lecture on “Reinforcing House Walls to Resist Earthquakes” by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Paiboon Panya Kapo, a researcher of the NRCT’s Earthquake Disaster Reduction Project in Thailand, which reinforced brick walls in the building frame using perforated metal mesh and fasteners to make the walls a part of the force-relief. Including training on reinforcing steel in beams, columns, joints and walls to be able to withstand earthquakes appropriately by Asst. Prof. Dr. Preeda Chaimahawan and Dr. Phanuwat Choiklat, project researchers who jointly shared their knowledge to local engineers, local technicians and students.
