I´m a Research Associate in Institute of R&D in Structures and Construction,University of Porto, since 2016. . I received my PhD in Structural and Material Engineering from University of Minho. My doctoral dissertation was examined the use of new experiments and models to predict the tensile behaviour of steel fibre reinforced self-compacting concrete applied in laminar structures under monotonic and long-term loading conditions. From February 2016 to present, I´m a Research Associate at the Institute of R&D in Structures and Construction (CONSTRUCT-LABEST), University of Porto, Portugal. In this scope, I participate in three research projects mainly on the application of Ultra-High Performance Fibre Reinforced cementitious Composites (UHPFRC) for rehabilitation/strengthening of existing infrastructures. My research interests are: Fibre Reinforced Cementitious Composites from micro-scale to structural application, durability and long-term performance, finite element simulations.

  1. On the tensile properties and fracture behaviour of steel fibre reinforced self-compacting concrete laminar structures. Adding fibres to concrete provides several advantages, especially in terms of controlling the crack opening width and propagation after the cracking onset. However, distribution and orientation of the fibres toward the active crack plane are significantly important in order to maximize its benefits. Therefore, in this study, the effect of the fibre distribution and orientation on the post-cracking. 2014. Abrishambaf, Amin; Cunha, Vitor M. C. F.; Barros, Joaquim A.
