Prota’s CEO Joseph Kubin’s presented two technical papers to share knowledge on various approaches to review and strenghten existing structures which may not presently meet current earthquake safety stardards. Over 500 attendees enjoyed Joseph’s papers on “Retrofitting of a Bridge form Historical Station Using Base Isolation” where a historical train station spanning across the widening of the existing main trunk railway lines into Istanbul to facilitate the new high speed rail line was seismically upgraded and restored, together with “The New Approach for the Assesement of Schools” where Joseph discussed the practical approaches taken to assesses and, where viable, retrofit 100’s of schools to meet revised earthquake standards in Turkey.
