 heritage buildings is a collective social responsibility that is strictly 
 linked to its regular use and promote actively the economic well-being\, c
 ultural identity\, and quality of life of the population. These tasks pose
  complex challenges to engineers\, but also allow the development of mater
 ials\, technologies and methodologies towards the suitable safeguard of th
 e built heritage.\nThe Seminar will show results from recently concluded p
 rojects and challenges ahead\, ranging from advanced preventive conservati
 on methodologies\, seismic protection of earthen constructions based on TR
 M composites\, use of natural fibers for TRM reinforcement\, and vernacula
 r constructions.\n\nBio\nDaniel V. Oliveira is currently Associate Profess
 or at the University of Minho. His main research interests are related to 
 the experimental and numerical analysis of traditional and heritage masonr
 y structures\, earthquake engineering\, repair and strengthening of masonr
 y\, earthen construction\, vernacular stone heritage\, risk analysis\, and
  durability.\nDaniel Oliveira has been involved in more than 40 research p
 rojects in the field of masonry\, funded on a competitive basis. He is the
  author of more than 300 technical and scientific publications about mason
 ry\, holding currently a Scopus h-index of 40. He worked in 5 RILEM commit
 tees dealing with the performance of masonry and earthen constructions.\nD
