RESEARCH AREAS
- Experimental and numerical assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) buildings under static and dynamic loading.
- Computational stochastic mechanics.
- Statistical approach for reliability of structures.
- Safety assessment and performance evaluation of existing buildings, code integration.
- Damage classification and characterizations of RC buildings (and/or components) and heritage constructions.
- Repair and retrofit solutions for RC buildings (and/or components) and heritage constructions.
- Mechanical characterization of RC components, RC frames, masonry walls (i.e., brick walls, natural stone walls, infills), infill wall-RC frame interaction.
- Development of innovative strengthening solutions using advanced materials, such as fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) and shape memory alloys (SMA).
KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER TO INDUSTRY
- 3D modeling of RC members, nonlinear analysis in combination with statistical methods.
- Implementation of experimental and numerical methods for structural and non-structural behavior of reinforced concrete and heritage constructions.
- Use of strengthening methods together with development and validation for RC components and heritage constructions.
- Vulnerability and risk assessment for identifying existing weaknesses in assets due to natural disasters.
- Geometric, physical, and mechanical characterization tests of RC components, masonry walls, and RC materials.
