Exchange – Risk: Experimental & Computational Hybrid Assessment of Natural Gas Pipelines Exposed to Seismic Risk

EXCHANGE-Risk is a H2020 research and mobility project lead by the University of Bristol with the aim to:
  • Promote transfer of know how between the academic and industrial sector in Europe, United States and Canada on Seismic risk of natural gas pipelines
  • Innovative methods for pre- and post-earthquake pipeline inspection, system monitoring and network resilience
  • Intercontinental, multiple-support, hybrid experimentation utilizing experimental and computational facilities among the project partners
