.@BCHousing, in partnership with @UBCAppScience, has announced the Professorship in Resilient Reinforced Concrete Buildings. UBC SOE Okanagan's Structural engineering expert Lisa Tobber 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. UBC SOE Okanagan's Dr. Lisa Tobber 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

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

What's next for #concrete construction?

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

A construction and engineering expert at University of British Columbia is looking to transform 🇨🇦’s built environment to withstand catastrophic earthquakes. Lisa Tobber #earthquake #Engineering readsitenews.com/ubc-researcher…

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

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

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 UBC SOE Okanagan apsc.ubc.ca/news/2022/perm…

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

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

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

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

Dr. Lisa Tobber'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
