Online SUZI seminar was held on March 31, 2021, on the destructive earthquake that struck Petrinja and surrounding settlements in Croatia on December 29, 2020. This earthquake was the strongest recorded in Croatia in the last 140 years and caused significant human and material losses. A three-member SUZI team (Marko Marinković, Željko Žugić, and Petar Bursać) visited the affected areas in February 2021 to document the earthquake’s impact on buildings and infrastructure. A short video from the visit is attached at the bottom of the page.
The visit was organized in cooperation with colleagues from the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Zagreb, and the gold sponsor of this initiative was Sika d.o.o. Serbia.
The seminar lasted 2 hours and 30 minutes and was attended by over 100 colleagues from Serbia, Croatia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Switzerland, and Canada. Speakers included Dr Josip Atalić (Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Zagreb), Dr Marijana Hadzima-Nyarko (Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture, University of Osijek), Dr Marko Marinković and Petar Bursać, M.Sc. Geodetic Engineering (Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Belgrade), Dr Borko Bulajić (Faculty of Technical Sciences, University of Novi Sad), and Dr Željko Žugić (Office for Public Investment Management of the Republic of Serbia). Prof. Dr Svetlana Nikolić-Brzev, President of SAEE, gave the opening speech and moderated the event.
The speakers presented detailed aspects of the earthquake, from the preparedness level of the national system at the time of the event, through seismic hazard and explanation of the earthquake causes, to the consequences in the form of damage and collapse of residential and public buildings, geotechnical effects, and the post-earthquake damage assessment system. The use of geoinformatics for damage recording after the earthquake was also presented, and drone footage was shown during the seminar. A brief discussion followed the presentations.
Video recordings of the presentations and PDF slides are available below.
