Eucentre is a non-profit private law foundation whose mission is to conduct research and provide training and services in earthquake and safety engineering 
Eucentre promotes science, research and innovation for the benefit of the community, offering targeted methodologies and concrete solutions for prevention, safety and resilience. It collaborates with institutions and companies to disseminate competencies for the common good.
Shake-tables
Other test systems
Eucentre carries out research activities in earthquake engineering and risk reduction through laboratory testing and numerical analysis, aiming to improve the seismic performance of structures and soils and to develop innovative seismic retrofitting techniques.
The Foundation promotes diverse and high-quality training activities aimed at academic and professional contexts, with constantly updated and innovative programs and initiatives designed to meet the evolving needs of the sector and society 
Eucentre ensures communication aimed at informing institutions, professionals, and citizens about ongoing activities and projects, with the goal of disseminating useful and accessible content and knowledge. It contributes to promoting a shared and informed culture of prevention and resilience.
Carlo Filippo Manzini, researcher at the Structures and Infrastructures Department of the Eucentre Foundation, has been working for over ten years in the field of the evaluation of the seismic behavior of masonry structures.
In particular, he deals with numerical modeling and development of software for the evaluation of the seismic response of masonry buildings (he is co-author of the SAM II code, calculation engine of the commercial software ANDILWall) as well as for the analysis and the aided verification, in accordance with Italian and European standards, of masonry structural and non-structural elements and of applications aimed at experimental data processing and at interpretation and graphic rendering of the results of pseudo-static tests and shake-table dynamic tests.
He is also involved in the didactic activity of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Pavia, carrying out didactic seminars and collaborating in teaching as part of the “Construction Technique” course.
He participated in the post-earthquake emergency assessment activities following the earthquakes of L’Aquila (2009) and Emilia (2012).
