Earthquake engineering, engineering seismology, experimental mechanics, dynamics of structures

Lidija Krstevska, Ph.D.,M.Sc, B.Sc, is a full professor in the Institute of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology - IZIIS, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, Republic of North Macedonia. She is a professor in the subjects Experimental Mechanics and Dynamics of Structures at the international master and doctoral studies at IZIIS. Her main professional activities are related to experimental testing of structures on site as well as testing of scaled models, elements, structural components and equipment in laboratory conditions exposed to different types of dynamic loads, including earthquakes. She has participated, as principal investigator or co-investigator, in numerous international scientific projects: JFP-760/YO-AES-192-USDA; INCO-COPERNICUS EUROQUAKE IC1 5-CT-97-0203 Project, NATO Science For Peace Project: Seismic Upgrading of Bridges in South-East Europe by Innovative Technologies (SFP: 983828); FP6 PROHITECH Project, COST Actions (C25, C26 and FP1101), SERA Project (HORIZON2020), as well as in several bi-lateral projects with Turkey, Slovenia and Croatia. She has participated at many national and international conferences, training schools and seminars and has published more than 160 original and scientific papers as author or co-author. She has supervised several master and PhD thesis. She was a Head of the department: Laboratory for Dynamic Testing and Informatics at IZIIS in the period 2016-2020. Research interest of Prof. Krstevska’s scientific activity includes investigation of seismic behaviour, stability and vulnerability of different types of structures – high-rise buildings, historical buildings and monuments, masonry and wooden structures as well as other systems aimed at their earthquake protection, resilience and sustainability.
