50 years on from the earthquake: research into materials, the restoration of restoration work and the urban context

During the conference ‘Between memory and research: the 1976 earthquake. Universities and the Superintendency come together’, the University of Udine is presenting three research projects in the fields of materials, restoration and the urban context, developed within the Laboratory of Architecture, Restoration and Sustainable Construction (Arcos) of the Polytechnic Department of Engineering and Architecture.
The research projects focus on the use of waste from the processing of Pietra Piasentina stone for the production of cement, the reduction of cement use in concrete by replacing it with rice husk ash, and the production of concrete using recycled aggregates from the demolition of buildings.
