Research Areas of Interest

Earthquake Engineering with emphasis on :

Experimental part

  • Experimental and/or analytical research of the response of Reinforced Concrete structural elements under seismic loading
  • Experimental and/or analytical research of the response of repaired and/or strengthened R/C structural elements, by the use of steel, glass or carbon reinforced polymers.
  • Experimental research of the response of jacketed or reinforced masonry walls.
  • In situ instrumentation and measurement of the response of important structures (buildings, bridges) for the evaluation of their dynamic response.
  • Evaluation, check and in-situ measurements of monumental and other cultural heritage buildings for the recognition of the structural response and for structural upgrade.

Analytical part
