About

The research interests of Nicos Makris include the design and protection of structures against natural and man-made hazards in association with the development and testing of response-modification devices, the analysis and design of seismic isolated and rocking structures—from tall valley bridges, rocking walls in buildings and historic structures together with soil-structure interaction. Makris has also research interests in rheology and fractional calculus; while from 2003 to 2009 he directed the reconstruction of the North-East corner of the 4th century BC Temple of Zeus in Nemea, Greece:
