Profile

A career devoted to safer structures and resilient societies.

Engineering knowledge has its greatest value when it protects people, preserves critical infrastructure and strengthens society before the next disaster.

Prof. Dr. Mihail Garevski is a civil engineer, university professor and internationally recognised specialist in earthquake engineering, structural resilience and post-disaster assessment.

His career bridges academic research, institutional leadership and demanding engineering practice. He served for sixteen years as Director of IZIIS at Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, later as professor and Vice-Rector at International Balkan University, and today leads the Institute for Seismic Resistant Structures and Climate Change — ISOGKP.

Expertise

Science translated into engineering decisions.

A multidisciplinary practice spanning seismic safety, extreme loads, structural diagnostics and climate-related hazards.

01

Earthquake engineering

Seismic hazard, performance assessment, design spectra and earthquake-resistant structural systems.

02

Structural resilience

Assessment and rehabilitation of buildings, bridges and critical infrastructure under extreme actions.

03

Post-disaster assessment

Evidence-based evaluation of earthquake and fire damage, field investigation and recovery decisions.

04

Structural health monitoring

Sensor-based monitoring, dynamic identification and interpretation of structural behaviour.

05

Base isolation

Research and advisory work on passive seismic protection, including LRB and friction-pendulum systems.

06

Climate adaptation

Engineering responses to multi-hazard risk, environmental extremes and resilient development.
