Abstract
The conservation and rehabilitation of cultural heritage buildings is a collective social responsibility that is strictly linked to its regular use and promote actively the economic well-being, cultural identity, and quality of life of the population. These tasks pose complex challenges to engineers, but also allow the development of materials, technologies and methodologies towards the suitable safeguard of the built heritage.
The Seminar will show results from recently concluded projects and challenges ahead, ranging from advanced preventive conservation methodologies, seismic protection of earthen constructions based on TRM composites, use of natural fibers for TRM reinforcement, and vernacular constructions.
Bio
Daniel V. Oliveira is currently Associate Professor at the University of Minho. His main research interests are related to the experimental and numerical analysis of traditional and heritage masonry structures, earthquake engineering, repair and strengthening of masonry, earthen construction, vernacular stone heritage, risk analysis, and durability.
Daniel Oliveira has been involved in more than 40 research projects in the field of masonry, funded on a competitive basis. He is the author of more than 300 technical and scientific publications about masonry, holding currently a Scopus h-index of 40. He worked in 5 RILEM committees dealing with the performance of masonry and earthen constructions.
Daniel Oliveira is Deputy Coordinator of the international Master course in Structural Analysis of Monuments and Historical Constructions, coordinated by the University of Minho and funded by the European Commission, award winner of the “EU Prize for Cultural Heritage / Europa Nostra Awards 2017”.
From 2017 to 2019, Daniel Oliveira was the President of the School Council of the School of Engineering, University of Minho, the body in charge of the government and strategic decisions of the School of Engineering.
