The Extreme Loads on Structures Lab (ELSL), led by Dr. Hezi Grisaro, explores how structures respond to blast, impact, and other extreme loading scenarios.

Our work combines analytical models, computational simulations, and experimental investigations to study structural dynamics and damage mechanisms.

Alongside protective design concepts, we conduct experimental research on advanced materials such as ultra-high-performance and 3D-printed concrete, aiming to develop innovative solutions that improve the resilience and safety of the built environment.
