Dr. @LisaTobber's research on structural systems is making our cities safer, more resilient and more sustainable. “I study how buildings will behave in earthquakes and then develop solutions to make them behave better.” #UBCEngineering Learn more: bit.ly/3SOPHPp

What do you think makes a great journal paper in civil engineering? Bonus if you include a link to the best journal paper you have ever read! #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter #academicWriting #structuralengineering #reseaech #phdlife #engineeringresearch

The Okanagan is just as beautiful in the winter as it is in the summer. #okanagan #beautiful

Me in front of model concrete buildings that had previously been earthquake shake table tested at Tongji University in China. Researching disaster-resilient concrete structures is a big part of my life! @concreteinlife #ConcreteResearch #concreteinlife2022 #ConcreteInfrastructure

Awesome to see energy-dissipating devices in real buildings. I am learning a lot from my New Zealand on implementing earthquake-resilient technology! #earthquake #dampers #NewZealand #collaboration #research

Today a permanent memorial was unveiled at UBC Okanagan, in memory of the 14 women whose lives were lost in the École Polytechnique massacre. #14NotForgotten @UBCOSOE apsc.ubc.ca/news/2022/perm…

Join @UBCOSOE for its annual 14 Not Forgotten memorial ceremony on December 6 to remember the 14 women whose lives were lost in the École Polytechnique massacre: bit.ly/3APRKuU

Showing off the economic benefits of investing in disaster resilient research to the Honourable @HarjitSajjan (Minister of International Development), Lesley Cormack(@UBCO_DVC) and Phil Barker (@ubcovpr). Exciting things cooking in the Okanagan @ubcengineering #engineering

All my best ideas come while walking in the woods. Luckily the #okanagan has amazing places to wander. #livingthedream #ideaWalks

A snowy campus can be a magical place. #ubc #snow #ubco #snowman

A construction and engineering expert at @UBC is looking to transform 🇨🇦’s built environment to withstand catastrophic earthquakes. @LisaTobber #earthquake #Engineering readsitenews.com/ubc-researcher…

Our students have painted the 'E' to rase awareness of the humanitarian crisis in Iran. It is incredible how the @ubcengineering 'E' has evolved into a powerful symbol of social justice. Makes me a #proud UBC Alumna and faculty member #WomenLifeFreedom #IranRevolution #UBC

What's next for #concrete construction?

Researchers at @UBC are investigating new ways to sustainably improve a building's earthquake performance bit.ly/3FHVP7F

Spent the evening with some incredibly brilliant women. @TessSLea, Jeannette Armstrong, and Silvia Tomášková #inspired @fass_ubco

.@BCHousing, in partnership with @UBCAppScience, has announced the Professorship in Resilient Reinforced Concrete Buildings. @UBCOSOE's Structural engineering expert @LisaTobber will be leading research to improve the resiliency of buildings in BC. engineering.ubc.ca/news/2022/why-…

Under current building codes and practices, high-rise buildings in #BritishColumbia are designed to stay standing in the event of an #earthquake, but are not necessarily designed to remain safe to live in. @UBCOSOE's Dr. @LisaTobber wants them to do both. apsc.ubc.ca/news/2022/why-…

Why new research in concrete could save BC homes - my research is being showcased: apsc.ubc.ca/news/2022/why-… #ubcengineering #structuralEngineering #concreteResearch
