​​​September 2025: Development of a new workforce for structural assessment of buildings using modern numerical analysis and monitoring tools: 

• The training was provided to about 120 experts from all regions of Uzbekistan,

• Three typical cases of structural health monitoring were used for hands-on training;

• The first hands-on training focused on measuring resonant frequencies of a recently constructed building,

• The second hands-on training focused on measuring rebar location by a GPR in 3D in a building being constructed,

• The third one was conducted by means of laser scanning to generate a digital twin of a building for further modeling by finite element analysis.

• A total of 160 hours of training was provided including extensive training on SAP2000, ETABS, and other software packages.

• The course included a detailed review of the structural codes of the USA and Japan, and its applicability for the development of the new structural code of Uzbekistan.

May 2025: Extensive customer training consisting of several theoretical courses and two full-scale hands-on training projects was conducted at the Institute of Mechanics and Seismic Resistance of Structures. The training included: 

• The training covered in depth the technologies used in the sensors’ design and data acquisition technologies,

• Two typical cases of structural health monitoring were used for hands-on training; first hands-on training focused on measuring resonant frequencies of a 14th-century ancient monument,

• The second hands-on training focused on measuring the structural dynamics and response of a complex railroad bridge system loaded by high-speed passenger trains and heavy-weight freight trains.

​

May 2023: A customized turnkey data acquisition system fully integrated with sensors (collectively called seismic equipment) was supplied to Uzbekistan; it is customized to be used in: 

• Ambient vibration studies of buildings, bridges, and other structures,

• Seismic evaluation of buildings, bridges, and other structures,

• Structural testing for the development of a new construction code in Uzbekistan,

• Monitoring field and lab experiments.

​​June 2022: A new phase of laser scanning of heritage buildings in Uzbekistan is completed (as part of a collaborative effort with the University of California, Berkeley, Miyamoto International, and local universities of Uzbekistan)

• Ancient fortified city of Tuproq Kala, Khorazm region,

• Bibi-Khanum, Samarkand,

• a few minarets in Itchan Kala, Khiva,

• Chodra Hauli, Khorazm region.
