France offered Kazakhstan joint projects in earthquake-resistant construction
The French Association for Earthquake Resistant Construction (AFPS) has sent an official letter to the Kazakh Research and Design Institute of Construction and Architecture (JSC “KazNIISA”) with a proposal for cooperation.
Pierre Sollogoub, Honorary President of AFPS, invited Yeraly Shokbarov, Managing Director for Production of KazNIISA JSC, who is also the Chairman of the Association for Earthquake Resistant Construction of the Republic of Kazakhstan, to participate in joint projects in the field of earthquake-resistant construction.
It is assumed that, within the framework of cooperation, the parties will be able to exchange experience in ensuring seismic safety of buildings and structures, study and apply new construction technologies, conduct joint training of young specialists, organize joint theoretical and practical research.
Let us recall that in July 2020, Kazakhstan joined the International Association for Earthquake Resistant Construction (IAEE). In this regard, Yeraly Shokbarov was awarded the title of IAEE National Delegate from the Republic of Kazakhstan.
For reference:
The Association of Earthquake Resistant Construction of the Republic of Kazakhstan was established on the basis of the Kazakh Research and Design Institute of Construction and Architecture ( “KazNIISA” JSC).
“KazNIISA” JSC is the only state research and design institute in Kazakhstan in the field of development of construction, including areas with particularly difficult engineering and geological conditions and earthquake-prone regions.
The institute has 89 years of experience.
French Earthquake Engineering Association (AFPS) is a non-profit organization founded in 1983.
The Association is engaged in the study of earthquakes and their consequences for the soil, structures, and the environment, as well as research in the field of emergency response and ensuring the safety of human lives.
