I recently published an editorial for the journal Frontiers in the Built Environment: Bridge Engineering on the topic "Diagnostic and Proof Load Tests on Bridges". You can access the editorial here, and the editorial forms part of an open access…
My colleagues and I have recently published a paper titled "Monitoring Shear Behavior of Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders Using Acoustic Emission and Digital Image Correlation " in the journal Sensors. Access the open access paper here. The abstract is as…
I wrote a letter to the editor for the journal Vínculos. In this letter, I reflect on the words of Fulbright, who wanted to bring "a little more knowledge, a little more reason, and a little more compassion into world…
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,…
Latest publication: Influence of Fiber Content on Shear Capacity of Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete Beams.This publication is very special for me for two reasons:- first series of experiments I supervised in the USFQ-ICV laboratory.- first journal paper of mine with…
I recently published a paper titled "¿Cómo evaluar la capacidad de puentes de hormigón existentes?" in the III Congreso Iberamericano de Ingenieria Civil. In this paper, I give some ideas for the integral management and maintenance of existing concrete bridges…
Within the TRB AFF 40 Standing Committee on Testing and Evaluation of Transportation Structures, we have finalized and published the Circular: Primer on Bridge Load Testing.It took us nearly four years and many conference calls and discussions, but you can…
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…
