Successful Completion of the GREENERGY Workshop at Democritus University of Thrace

Xanthi, December 12, 2025 – The hybrid Workshop of the research project “Resilient Vertical Forest Renovation of Reinforced Concrete Structures in Seismic Prone Areas– GREENERGY” was successfully held on Friday, December 12, 2025, at Amphitheatre 1 of the Department of Civil Engineering of Democritus University of Thrace (DUTH). A highlight of the event was the laboratory demonstration conducted at the Laboratory of Reinforced Concrete and Seismic Design of Structures at DUTH in Kimmeria, Xanthi. Attendees had the opportunity to observe experimental seismic excitation tests performed on a nearly full-scale reinforced concrete structure incorporating vegetation on rooftops, balconies, and vertical surfaces, demonstrating innovative approaches to seismic resilience and sustainable building design.
