This talk addresses the growing use of modular structures and their vulnerability to seismic and wind-induced vibrations. It presents a probabilistic multi-hazard framework that integrates uncertainty quantification, surrogate modelling, fragility analysis, and resilience metrics to assess structural reliability. The presentation also explores adaptive vibration control strategies and resilience-based, climate-adaptive design approaches to enhance safety and long-term performance under extreme events.

Earthquake recordings are of great benefit to support site-specific seismic hazard assessments for critical infrastructure but can also bring broader benefits when the seismometer installations are integrated into the wider national seismic monitoring network. This presentation describes the planning, deployment and operation of a string of seismic sensors in a single borehole at the proposed Bradwell B nuclear power station site in November 2018 and how the data captured has been used to enhance earthquake detection as part of the BGS national seismic network and for site characterisation for a probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) undertaken by Jacobs.
