Universidade de São Paulo (USP). Escola Politécnica (EP) (Institutional affiliation from the last research proposal) Birthplace: Brazil
Graduated in 1987, he holds a master's degree (1992), a doctorate (1997) and a full-time doctorate (2011), all of them in Civil Engineering from the University of São Paulo. He develop a postdoctoral stage at Polytechnic University of Catalonia - Barcelona Tech in 2010. He is currently a full professor at the University of São Paulo and was head of the Department of Civil Construction Engineering, from 2021 to 2023. He served as coordinator of the Graduate Program in Civil Engineering at the Polytechnic School of USP from 2016 to 2020. He has experience in Civil Engineering, particularly with infrastructure works, with emphasis on Quality Control and Construction Materials. He develops his works, mainly in the areas of special concrete destined to infrastructure works, and in particular, concrete and concrete with applicable fibers in tunnels, concrete pipes, dams and paving. It also works in the area of waste recycling in portland cement concretes. In his professional career he has worked in the area of standardization, having worked in the study commissions on projected concrete, steel fibers, concrete pipes for drainage and sewage systems and fiber reinforced concrete having been the author of several reference texts.

This research aims to develop a compact test method for characterizing the residual strength of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC). The tests typically used for this purpose are the bending tests using prismatic specimens, which are very large and difficult to handle. The main test used today is the proposed by the European standard EN14651 (2007) that correlates load and crack mouth opening…
The activities to be carried on the visit of Professor Albert de la Fuente Antequera are related primarily to two research projects that are in progress with the support of FAPESP, and participation in a board for PhD evaluation. Such projects are titled "parameterization of the mechanical behavior of fiber reinforced concrete pipes intended for sanitation works" (project FAPESP 2013/0326…
In Brazil, the need of sewage collecting and treatment systems is high, presenting a deficit of over 50 %. The use of concrete pipes has several advantages. These pipes can be produced with simple concrete, for pipes of 600 mm diameter, reinforced with steel bars and/or fibers. The reinforcement using fibers is restricted to diameters of 1000 mm. The use of fibers instead of steel bars ha…

Materials such as concrete with recycled concrete aggregates (CRCA) are being studied due to the growing need to reduce the exploitation of natural resources and decrease the volume of concrete waste at its production site. However, recycled aggregates can result in a significant reduction in the compressive strength of CRCA due to its greater total porosity. The use of fibers can be an i…
Materials such as concrete with recycled aggregate (RAC) are being studied due to the increasing need to the exploitation of natural resources and reduce the volume of construction and demolition waste disposed of in landfills. However, the recycled aggregates show a reduction in mechanical properties due to its higher porosity. In parallel, it is well known that the use of fibres can imp…
The compatibility between cement and accelerator is one of the most important parameters that control kinetics of hydration and the rate of mechanical strength gain in sprayed cementitious matrices. These factors are crucial for the stabilization of underground constructions during their execution and to evaluate the durability of the matrix. Although the sprayed concrete technology has a…
