Rita Bento (born in Lisbon in 1963) is currently Full Professor at the Department of Civil Engineering, Architecture and Georesourses of Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal. She holds a PhD in Civil Engineering /Structures from IST and a master's degree in Earthquake Engineering at Imperial College, London. In her teaching, she has specialized in the earthquake engineering, structural behaviour, dynamic of structures and strength of materials. Her main research interests include assessment, strengthening and repair of structures, structural testing and nonlinear modelling, earthquake engineering and structural dynamics. Rita Bento is director of the PhD program of IST Analysis and Mitigation of Risks in Infrastructures (//infrarisk.tecnico.ulisboa.pt), member of Executive Board of "The European Association of Earthquake Engineering' (EAEE) and a member integrated and the coordinator of the Research 'group of CERIS 'Structures and Geotechnics'. Rita Bento is Associated Editor of Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering and coordinated of EAEE Work Group 12 (WG12: Continuing Education and Professional Development). Rita Bento was External Examiner for Imperial College for the MSc in structural engineering: earthquake, steel, concrete, general for the following period (academic years shown are inclusive), from 2016-2017 to 2019-2020. Rita Bento has coordinated and participated in several national research projects and participated in some international projects. She has supervised Master and PhD studies in the field of seismic design, assessment and retrofitting of old masonry buildings, reinforced concrete and steel structures. She has co-authored over 250 publications in international peer-reviewed scientific journals, books and conference proceedings, in the fields of earthquake engineering, assessment and strengthening of structures. Rita Bento has been Chairman of the Sub-commission 8 (Eurocode 8) of CT115 (Portuguese Technical Commission for Standardization of Structural Eurocodes) and the Portuguese representative in the CEN/TC 250/SC8 since 2020.

Event organisation

Event name
Type of event (Role) 		Institution / Organization
2019/06/01 - 2020/12/30 The 9th EWICS will be an event that continues the successful three-annual series of workshops started back in 1996. The workshop is organized under the sponsorships of Working Group (WG) 8 (Seismic Behaviour of Irregular and Complex Structures) of EAEE. This international event promotes sharing and dissemination of research results, as well as networking in different fields. The workshop will provide a platform for discussion and exchange ideas, as well as to gain new insights on the possibilities and challenges of irregular and complex structures (2020/10/30 - 2020/10/31)
Congress (President of the Organising Committee)
 Instituto Superior Técnico, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal
2007/05/05 - 2008/05/06 The two-day workshop on Nonlinear Static Methods for Design/Assessment of 3D Structures, held at the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture of the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) from the Technical University of Lisbon, was held on 5-6 May 2008. Twelve invited participants from different countries (Greece, Iran, Italy, Portugal, Slovenia and the United States) were present at the Workshop, where a number of important NSP-related research topics were scrutinised and debated. (2008/05/05 - 2008/06/06)
