Karel C. Terwel
Karel is Assistant Professor of Structural Design and Safety in the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at TU Delft and Coordinator of Structural Safety at Delft Safety and Security Institute.
His PhD from TU Delft in 2014 was based on human and organizational factors influencing structural safety.
Karel is involved in several courses on the structural design of high-rise buildings and a course on forensic structural engineering. His current research activities concentrate on structural damage of masonry buildings from earthquakes - among other causes. He has also investigated several (large) structural failures in the Netherlands.
