Personal statement

Dr. Enrico Tubaldi joined the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and the Center for Intelligent Infrastructure at University of Strathclyde in October 2017 as Lecturer in Structural Engineering. Before joining University of Strathclyde, he was Marie Curie Reaserch Fellow at Imperial College London (UK). His research interests include risk assessment of structures and infrastructure under natural hazards such as earthquakes and floods, and computational structural mechanics. This research aims at reaching a better understanding of the physical behavior of building and bridge structures, by also taking into account the stochastic nature of the loading environment and of the structural properties. This effort can lead to safer, more economic and more rational design procedures and contribute to make the built environment more resilient against the impact of natural disasters. Please feel free to contact Dr. Tubaldi if interested in research or knowledge exchange collaborations or doing a PhD under his supervision.

Exploring the use of natural fibres to improve the resilience of unreinforced masonry structures in Malawi
Tubaldi, Enrico (Principal Investigator) Pedrotti, Matteo (Co-investigator)
The project aims to investigate the effectiveness of using natural plant or animal fibres to develop sustainable construction and retrofit techniques targeting unreinforced masonry (UM) structures in Malawi, to increase the resilience against earthquakes, storms, and floods.
Non-engineered UM structures are the most popular construction dwelling typology in Malawi. Past devastating earthquakes (1500+ houses collapsed in the 2009 earthquake) and natural disasters (260,000+ houses damaged/destroyed by cyclone Freddy in 2023) have proven the high vulnerability of these structures and the need for effective strengthening solutions. There is also a need for more sustainable construction techniques based on unfired blocks to avoid recourse to fired brick, whose manufacturing has accelerated the loss of trees (Malawi risks of losing all its trees in 25- 30 years from the brick industry alone).
A study will be conducted to assess the fibres that could be locally available in Malawi and have the potential to be used within a circular economy framework. Different prototypes of unfired compressed blocks and plasters incorporating natural fibres will be created and tested. A workshop will be held in Malawi to disseminate the research outcomes and prepare the grounds for in-field testing and follow-on funding applications.
