Dr Andrea Lucherini, FRISSBE senior researcher, was recently invited by Dr Martina Manes to give a guest lecture in the CIVE233 course “Structural engineering in the built environment 2” at the University of Liverpool. On Monday 10^th May 2022, Dr Lucherini delivered a presentation entitled "Mechanical properties of construction materials at elevated temperature,” where he emphasized the importance of understanding the fire behaviour of (modern) construction materials in the built environment.

The seminar is well aligned with one of the goals of the FRISSBE project, namely the aim of impacting the fire safety engineering education at the European level and beyond.
