Full event details

Ever wondered how engineers make buildings strong enough to withstand massive earthquakes? This session isn't about boring concrete – it's about the super-materials of the future! We'll explore how advanced composites (think super-strong, lightweight materials) are being used to reinforce buildings and make them earthquake resistant. You'll discover how these new materials work and learn how they're saving lives.
