SHORT PRESENTATION OF ACTIVITY DOMAIN OF NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF EVOLUTION  RESEARCH IN CONSTRUCTION AND ECONOMY OF CONSTRUCTIONS (NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR BUILDING RESEARCH- I.N.C.E.R.C.)

INCERC is a symbol of research for buildings and structures in Romania. In 2005, the institute will celebrate its 55th anniversary.

Since 1960 , INCERC developed fundamental research regarding mechanics and physics of construction and earthquake engineering. Also, I.N.C.E.R.C. developed technique and technologies, verified and experimented on real and full scale models. These techniques and technologies refers to strength, stability, durability ,seismic protection, corrosion equipment and installation of the buildings, strategies ,diagnosis , technico -economical reglementations , lab testing , studies, expert checking, calculus programs, methodology, fezability studies, quality certification.

INCERC also has the activity of publishing the results of years of research and development, informing about technical and economical data, developing terms for releasing different authorizations of construction or functioning.

HYSTORICAL BACKGROUND OF I.N.C.E.R.C.

After the 2nd World War the research activity in construction was set off in 1950 by establishing the ICI( the Research and Testing Institute) and soon after the ICSC( the Scientific Research Institute for Construction), both integrated in 1957 in the IMCL(Research Institute for Construction, building materials and wood industry). In 1958 a new organization structure appeared, the IPCMC(Institute for Design and Research in Building and Building Materials).

Towards the end of 1959 the Building Research Institute was founded .receiving the INCERC logo, under which its known up to now . Within the structure established at the beginning of 1960 , INCERC has covered almost all research activity fields for buildings except the building materials development.
