MY SCOPUS PROFILE

MY GOOGLE SCHOLAR PROFILE

Fausto Minelli is a Full Professor in Structural Engineering at the University of Brescia, Department of Civil Engineering, Architecture, Land, Environment and of Mathematics (DICATAM). His research interests include mechanical characterization of fibre reinforced concrete and high performance concrete, concrete and reinforced concrete structures, high performance concrete structures, non-linear modelling of r.c. structures and rehabilitation and restoration of existing buildings.

The research activity is mainly focused on the structural level, with also a number of studies at the material level.

The research activity always develops form theoretical aspects, which are an useful tool for better understanding the resistant mechanisms and the structural behaviour of members.

The experimental programs are always finalized at the definition of global and local behaviours/responses. The experimentation is also significant for the evaluation of analytical and numerical models.

Four main research topics can be outlined:

- Mechanical characterization of FRC and HPC materials;

- Shear behaviour of members without transverse reinforcement;

- Structural Applications of Fibre-Reinforced-Concrete.

- Structural retrofitting of existing buildings, with special emphasis on r.c. and masonry structures.

- Fausto Minelli is author of more than 90 scientific papers, 50 of which published in international journals or in international conferences;

- His conference paper got the price “Best Student Paper: Structures Category” during the International conference ConMat ’05, Vancouver, Canada, August 22-24, 2005;

- He was the advisor of about 20 master theses and co-advisor of about 90 master theses discussed at the University of Brescia, some of which with the support of foreign Universities;
