However, the laboratory conditions under which measurements are performed often fail to accurately replicate in-situ environments, resulting in discrepancies between predicted and actual hydro-mechanical responses of slopes in the field. This research project aims to improve modelling capabilities of rainfall-induced landslides through a field-based hydraulic characterization. The approach will integrate high-quality field data with finite-element transient seepage modelling to analyse the hydro-mechanical response of the unsaturated zone within fine-grained slopes, driven by the soil-vegetation-atmosphere interaction. An advanced field monitoring system will be established to provide data on geotechnical, hydraulic, and meteorological variables impacting the hydromechanical response and stability condition of slopes. Implementing some of the cutting-edge technological advancements in the field, the research will address some critical scientific questions in landslide science and field hydromechanical response of slopes in general. The outcomes of the research will extend beyond the generation of globally relevant new knowledge in the field, culminating in at least five original research papers published in top-tier international scientific journals and presented at leading international conferences. The project will have a significant local socio-economic impact for the study area, where enhanced understanding of landslide processes can improve risk management practices. A key outcome will be the establishment of a new research group that will aspire to become an internationally recognized centre, which will focus on some of the most actual and emerging challenges in soil-vegetation-atmosphere interaction and landslide research area\u2014topics expected to grow in importance as the global climate crisis intensifies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\nFinancially supported by the Croatian Science Foundation under the programme Installation Research Projects UIP 2025-02<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMasonry structures, widely used in civil engineering, remain highly vulnerable to seismic forces due to the brittle nature of traditional cement-sand mortar. The 2020 earthquakes in Croatia highlighted the urgent need for more resilient bonding solutions to enhance ductility, energy dissipation, and structural integrity of masonry. This project advances polyurethane adhesive foams as alternative binders, leveraging their high ductility and adhesion properties through an innovative modeling and experimental validation approach across scales.A key challenge in applying polyurethane foams in masonry is the lack of validated numerical models capturing their rate-dependent behavior, adhesion properties, and seismic response. This project develops a comprehensive numerical-experimental framework integrating material-scale analysis via rate-dependent and viscoelastic characterization at the University of Rijeka and Oxford, contact-scale modeling with an advanced cohesive zone model incorporating perforation effects, and assembly-scale validation through full-scale seismic tests at L.E.D.A. Laboratory in Enna.The project will establish a new research group at the University of Rijeka, fostering early-career researcher development with two postdoctoral researchers and a PhD student. Collaboration with Oxford in high-strain testing and Wienerberger for industry application ensures interdisciplinary and intersectoral impact.By combining numerical modeling and experimental validation, this research will define key mechanical parameters, validate advanced contact models, and assess the seismic performance of bonded masonry structures. The findings will support structural engineers, material manufacturers, and policymakers, contributing to seismic resilience, sustainable construction, and the future standardization of ductile bonded masonry technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The DATACROSS project of the Scientific Center of Excellence for Data Science and Cooperative Systems explores advanced methods and technologies in data science and cooperative systems within the horizontal theme ICT of the Croatian S3 in order to support the development of innovation and competitiveness of the Croatian economy in all five thematic priority areas of the S3. By employing more than 40 new research projects, it will enable the implementation of globally relevant scientific research and the transfer of knowledge and technologies with a long-term contribution to the Croatian research sector, the economy and society as a whole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
