We are happy to announce the winner of the SECED Fund Award 2024. The SECED Committee selected the proposal by Atif Rasheed (PhD student at Imperial College London), titled “Assessment of Wrapped Stones (Shicras) as a low-Cost Seismic Isolation System". The Committee was impressed by Atif's application that looks at experimental testing of innovative, low-cost and sustainable seismic base isolation system for low-rise buildings, fully aligned with the aims of SECED.

SECED members are being encouraged to support two engineering-related charities working in the earthquake-hit regions of Turkey and Syria. SARAID [Search And Rescue Assistance In Disasters] has deployed volunteers directly to the area, while RedR UK ensures that people responding to disasters have the skills to do so safely and effectively.
