General description of the activity

Study of the behavior, analysis, design and assessment of reinforced/prestressed concrete and steel structures by using numerical modeling and experimental validation.  Expertise in: construction materials mechanics, technology and durability; Historical constructions, Precast concrete structures and bridges, steel fiber reinforced concrete, segmental construction of structures and tunnels, reliability and seismic assessment and design of structures and bridges.

All these activities are supported by the LTE Laboratori de Tecnologia d’Estructures.

Specific areas of research energy field

Analysis and design of precast posttensioned of tall wind towers for high power wind generators, including experimental validation through instrumentation and comparison with theoretical predictions.
