1 SERU Structural Engineering Research Unit Prof. Dr. Mustafa Verşan KÖKK Enginnering Research Group Coordinator FP6 National Contact Point (Energy-Transportation Transportation-Environment) TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey) May 30 June 01, 2005 Advances in Earthquake Engineering for Urban Risk Reduction

2 SERU - Structural Engineering Research Unit came into operation on May 1, 2001 as a result of an agreement signed by both The Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey [TUBITAK] and Middle East Technical University [METU]. SERU - is housed within the Civil Engineering Department at Middle East Technical University and is supported by the Construction and Environmental Technologies Research Grant Committee [ICTAG], which was one of the principal component bodies of TUBITAK and now combined with Engineering Research Group (MAG). 2

3 The research emphasis at SERU is on aspects of structural analysis, experiment, rehabilitation with special regard to seismic loading. Broader activities of SERU include a project for the installation and development of strong motion accelerogram networks as well as a project for the dissemination of knowledge by means of continuing education and publication in the area of earthquake engineering. 3

4 All SERU members are involved in projects sponsored by organizations such as the NATO Science for Peace [NATO SfP "Seismic Assessment and Rehabilitation of Existing Buildings" and NATO SfP "Enhancement of National Strong Motion Network and Establishing Seismic Arrays in Turkey ] as well as by national institutions. 4
