With my colleagues in Brazil, we have been working on further analysis of database results. As a result, the paper "Influence of structural system on shear capacity of wide members without shear reinforcement" was accepted for presentation at the virtual…
Recently, I collaborated with colleagues in Brazil within the scope of the PhD research of the first author of this paper, published in Structural Concrete. You can access the paper here.The abstract of the article is as follows:The calibration of…
My colleagues Miguel Abambres from Portugal and I just published an article titled "Neural network-based formula for shear capacity prediction of one-way slabs under concentrated loads". This paper is the third and last product of our collaboration through the USFQ…
I recently wrote an article titled "Uso de Materiales en Ingeniería Estructural: Una Mirada al Futuro" for the magazine Mundo Constructor. In this article (in Spanish), I gave an introduction to the materials of the future - more sustainable concrete,…
Miguel Abambres and I worked on the development of an ANN-based expression for the fatigue strenght of concrete under compression - using Miguel's algorithm and my database of fatigue tests. I'm quite pleased that the resulting model only takes 3…
For the year 2019, Miguel Abambres and I won a Collaboration Grant from USFQ. The first paper from this collaboration is titled "ANN-Based Shear Capacity of Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Beams without Stirrups". It's open access and published in the journal…
I've been working closely together with my colleagues at the Danish University of Technology for quite a while, and am cosupervisor of Christian Christensen. The first paper of this collaboration and the PhD research of Christian was presented at SMAR…
My colleagues and I recently published a paper "Optimizing Finite Element Models for Concrete Bridge Assessment With Proof Load Testing" in Frontiers in the Built Environment - Bridge Engineering for the Research Topic Diagnostic and Proof Load Testing on Bridges.The…
I've recently published a review paper in the journal Composites Part B: Engineering titled "How do steel fibers improve the shear capacity of reinforced concrete beams without stirrups?".The paper addresses the different shear-carrying mechanisms, and the effect of adding steel…
My colleagues and I have published two papers in IABMAS 2018. I was supposed to travel to Melbourne to present these papers, but it was very shortly after my return from my annual research stay in Delft, and my baby…
