IZIIS is located in Skopje, on the foothills of Vodno mountain, in a research-educational centre equipped with laboratories. Out of the total developed area, about 2500 m2 are covered by laboratories, while 750 m2 represent premises for education and training consisting of a modern library, classrooms and computer center.

IZIIS has five laboratories that are used for development of experimental methods and techniques for investigation of the behaviour of structures under the effect of different types of static and dynamic loads.

Dynamic Testing Laboratory - The strategic role in this laboratory is given to the two-componental seismic shaking table, which is used for dynamic testing of structures, equipment, substructures, etc. The laboratory is also equipped with two smaller shaking tables, equipment for quasi-static testing of materials, elements, substructures and structures as well as a system for acquisition and processing of data.

Geophysical Laboratory – This laboratory is intended for special field measurements in the field of engineering seismology and geophysics as are investigations by use of seismic refraction, reflection and tomography, measurement of microtremors and geoelectric resistance.

Laboratory for Dynamics of Soils -This laboratory provides data on the

dynamic characteristics of soils necessary for definition of the dynamic strength

and stability, the soil liquefaction potential and the soil – structure interaction. In

cooperation with the other IZIIS’ laboratories, tests on large scale models as well

as other specific tests in the field of dynamics of soils and foundation are carried

out in this laboratory.

Strong Motion Laboratory – This laboratory enables maintenance of the national strong motion instrument network, acquisition, processing and archiving of recorded data on strong earthquakes as well as maintenance of instruments installed on structures of capital importance for the country and the region.

Mobile Laboratory for Non-destructive Tests and Measurement of

Vibrations – This laboratory enables measurement of natural frequencies and

vibrations of actual structures and models through techniques of ambient and

forced vibrations and identification of structural systems with quality and quantity

of built-in materials.
