Development and Experimental Validation of Smart Mortars for Repair and Structural Health Monitoring Applications in Masonry Structures
Deadline: 20/07/2026
Scientific-Disciplinary Group
08/CEAR-07 - Structural Analysis And Design
Description
The researcher will contribute to the FIS 2021 project “SMS-SAFEST” through the development and experimental validation of smart conductive mortars for the structural health monitoring of masonry structures subjected to static and seismic actions. Activities will focus on characterizing the relationship between electrical response and damage state, including crack initiation, propagation, and severity, through advanced sensing and data analysis techniques. Attention will be devoted to the use of smart mortars for the repair of joints in existing masonry structures, with the aim of developing minimally invasive monitoring solutions. The researcher will also contribute to the design, fabrication, and testing of smart masonry components, including smart bricks and mortar-based sensing layers, also using 3D printing technologies.
