Sustainable technologies for halting deforestation and for earthquake-, hurricane– and flood-durable building—all based on a simple definition of sustainability. International partners are sought to help deliver these critical technologies to a world on the verge of ecological imbalance.

We define “sustainability” in terms of a simple requisite of environmental permanence, conservation and optimum recycling of natural resources. Sustainable Science and Engineering (SS&E) defines all knowledge based systems that abide by this requisite. The LPSA (light prestressed segmented arch) structural technology not only demonstrates this SS&E requisite but also defines a gainful plan of action for sustainable development out of halting deforestation. For more on the implications of the SS&E requisite and the LPSA technology, see elsewhere on this site.

Sustainable engineering: connecting science, society and sustainability A European Project Proposal under this title has been submitted by this institute to CORDIS (Community Research and Development Information Service). European and other partners are sought for an international consortium to develop “green” highway bridge and building structures with inherent resistance to earthquakes, hurricanes and flooding. Groups at Madrid Polytechnical University (Spain) and the University of Buenos Aires (Argentina) and others in Italy have expressed interest in joining the consortium.
