Curriculum

Rosario MONTUORI Curriculum

Rosario Montuori is full Professor of Structural Engineering at the University of Salerno, Italy. He received a M.S/B.S. in Civil Engineering from the University of Salerno in 1997 and the PhD in Structural Engineering from the same University in 2001. He is author of more than 150 journal articles, conference papers and scientific reports. His principal research activity is devoted to the control of the collapse mechanism for steel structures by means of a rigorous application of “capacity design”. In particular, the research activity concerns the following structural typologies: Concrete Moment Resisting Frames, Steel Moment Resisting Frames with semi-rigid joints, Steel Irregular Moment Resisting Frames, Concentrically “X” and “V” Braced Frames, Concentrically “X” Braced Frames with Reduced Section (based on the reduction of the cross section area at the ends of the bracing members aiming to calibrate the axial resistance to a value equal to the internal action occurring under seismic load combination), Eccentrically Braced Frames, Moment Resisting Frame-Concentrically Braced Frame dual systems and Truss Moment Frames with special devices located at the bottom chord level at the ends of the truss girders. For several of the considered structural typologies, also the seismic structural reliability defined as the mean annual frequency (MAF) of exceeding a threshold level of damage, i.e. a limit state has been investigated and compared with reference both to the proposed design methodologies and to EC8 provisions. He developed theoretical fiber models able to predict the Moment-curvature behaviour of RC columns confined by means of angles and battens and of Concrete Filled Steel Tubular Columns (CFT) with Square Hollow Section (SHS). The proposed models have been validated by means of experimental tests. He developed a design procedure for some Tensegrity Structures able to account both for local and global stability in order to find the optimal design of minimum mass. He has participated as research staff member in various research projects funded by the Italian Ministry of Education and the Italian Network of Seismic Engineering Laboratories (ReLUIS). He serves as a reviewer for several international journals. He is Associate Editor of the International Journal "Ingegneria Sismica - International Journal of Seismic Engineering” (www.ingegneriasismica.org) since January 2015. In addition, he is an Editorial Board Membership of the following journals: “American Journal of Mechanical Engineering”, (http://www.sciepub.com/journal/AJME/editors), “American Journal of Civil Engineering and Architecture”, (http://www.sciepub.com/journal/AJCEA/editors), Advances in Civil Engineering” – Hindawi (https://www.hindawi.com/journals/ace/editors/).

He is in the Scientific Committee of the journal “Costruzioni Metalliche” (the Italian Journal of Steel Structure).

He has been teaching since 2001 in several courses of Structural and Seismic Engineering at the University of Salerno.
