  • In Lisbon, he was a member of the research team that demonstrated the seismic vulnerability of reinforced concrete flat-slab buildings, a structural system widely used in Southern Europe (Italy, Spain and Portugal) due to its lower construction cost.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Military service<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
