At IABSE 2017, my colleague presented two papers of our research. I didn't travel to IABSE, because the conference fell right in the middle of my maternity leave. The first paper is titled "Proof load testing of the viaduct De…
My colleagues and myself recently published a paper in the Journal of Bridge Engineering, titled "Pilot Proof-Load Test on Viaduct De Beek: Case Study". The paper reports on the proof load test on viaduct De Beek which our research group…
My colleagues and I recently published a paper titled "Plastic model for asymmetrically loaded reinforced concrete slabs" in a Special Publication of the ACI, ACI-SP 321 "Recent Developments in Two-Way Slabs: Design, Analysis, Construction, and Evaluation". This SP is the…
My co-authors and myself recently published a paper in Structure and Infrastructure Engineering about the load test on viaduct Zijlweg. The paper is titled "Towards standardisation of proof load testing: pilot test on viaduct Zijlweg". You can access the paper…
At the fib symposium 2017, I presented a paper titled "Determination of loading protocol and stop criteria for proof loading with beam tests". The abstract of the paper is as follows: Proof loading of existing bridges is an interesting option…
I recently presented a paper titled "Extended Strip Model for slabs subjected to a combination of loads " at the fib symposium in Maastricht. The abstract of the paper is: Reinforced concrete slab bridges are assessed for a combination of…
My colleagues and I recently published a paper in Engineering Structures, titled "Development of recommendations for proof load testing of reinforced concrete slab bridges". You can download the paper for free for the next 50 days through this link.This paper…
My coauthors and myself recently published a review paper on load testing, titled "State-of-the-art on load testing of concrete bridges" in Engineering Structures. You can download the article for free until September 13th 2017 by accessing this link.The abstract of…
We recently published a paper titled "Modeling Concrete Material Structure: a Two-Phase Meso Finite Element Model". The work reported in this paper was a collaboration with the department of mechanical engineering of Universidad San Francisco de Quito. My colleague Dr.…
This year, I was author and co-author of three papers at SEMC 2016, the conference on Structural Engineering, Mechanics and Computation in Cape Town, South Africa. While I did not have the chance to travel, my students Mr. Valdivieso and…
