Oreta as a speaker at ACCCS 2023 – Taipei

 

The National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) hosted the Anniversary Workshop in Commemoration of the 1999 Chi-Chi and 2022 Chihshang Earthquakes (ACCCS) in Taipei, Taiwan, from September 25-27, 2023. Invited are professors and experts from the United States, Canada, Japan, Slovenia, and the Philippines, to deliver special lectures on engineering seismology, earthquake engineering, and earthquake-induced disaster mitigation.

Dr.  Andres Winston C. Oreta, Professor of the Department of Civil Engineering, De La Salle University delivered a lecture on “Integration of Technology in Earthquake Engineering Education: A Pathway to Enhancing Learning and Preparedness.”  The abstract of the paper is as follows:

ABSTRACT

Earthquake engineering plays a crucial role in mitigating the devastating effects of seismic events on infrastructure and communities. As the field evolves, the integration of technology into earthquake engineering education has emerged as a new direction in the design of courses related to earthquakes in universities to enhance learning outcomes, promote experiential learning, and bolster preparedness. This presentation presents the author’s exploration on the significance of technology in earthquake engineering education and highlights its impact on both students and future professionals. Collaborative platforms and online resources like PEER (earthquake time history database), SeismoSignal (data visualization tools), PHIVOLCS (seismic hazard assessment in the Philippines), STERA-3D (free software for seismic performance assessment of buildings) among others provide students and researchers important tools and data for understanding earthquakes and their impact to the built environment. Video presentations from various sites including YouTube enhances the classroom and online lectures. The affordability of bench-scale shake table testing equipment has now provided opportunities for the students to immerse themselves in realistic scenarios, allowing for hands-on experiences in a controlled and safe environment. As seismic events continue to pose significant challenges, the incorporation of technology in earthquake engineering education becomes increasingly vital in preparing the next generation of engineers to safeguard communities and infrastructure against the destructive forces of earthquakes.

DLSU Grad Students compete at IDEERS 2023 – Taipei

 

MSCE Student and civil engineer Rei Kevin Tungcab and BSMS students, Jade Vanessa Ching, Aldrei Ong and Vicente Raphael Chan with Dr. Rodolfo Mendoza Jr. as coach represented DLSU Department of Civil Engineering at the shaking table competition entitled "Introducing and Demonstrating Earthquake Engineering Research in Schools (IDEERS)" on Sept. 21-23, 2023 held at Taipei, Taiwan. The team designed a three story wooden model based on the façade of St. Lasalle Hall. The model was constructed with wood connected by glue with damper and supported with a base-isolation system made of steel ball rollers. The model’s parts were transported to the NCREE site and assembled for the shake table testing which was held on Sept. 23, 2023. There were 11 teams that competed in the graduate level including one team from UP ICE. The model of the Green IDEERS team survived two stages of the testing (up to 800 gals) and failed on the third stage. It was the first time for DLSU to join IDEERS unlike the other teams that have been participating IDEERS for more than five or more years. The team was supported by DLSU DCE and Petro Jikken. Dr. Jonel Galupino, Engr. Salvador Oleivar and Dr. Andy Oreta supported the DLSU Green IDEERS team in the preparation before the team left for Taipei. IDEERS was hosted by the Taiwan National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering (NCREE) and the National Applied Research Laboratories (NARLabs).
