Introduction Engineering focuseson solving problems which arise from the continuous advance of knowledge in many fields.
Architecture and civil engineering, particularly, concentrate on a better use of valuable ground in urban zones, posing challenges to the limits of existing technologies in the development of ever higher structures.
This project pretends to analyze the movement of these edifices and through physical and mathematical fundaments and software tools, to lay the foundations to convert these devices intoactive security systems, using parallel robotsin simulation of structures to develop and prove a mechatronics engineering concept applied in the field of civil engineering and architecture.

Asbestos products were abundantly used in the civil engineering in 70's and 80's.
In the past this material was used very often in civil engineering for its good thermal insulating and mechanical properties, resistance to fire, strength and resistance to acids and alkalis.

Later, invention of reinforced plastics gave a possibility to use them in thin-walled shells for civil and industrial buildings.
