1 - Key Qualifications and Responsibilities (CV Summary)

The Author has completed seven years of experience in the field of

Structural Analysis and Design of Bridges and Hydraulic-related

structures, working in Europe (Italy) and in The Middle East (mainly

in the Sultanate of Oman).

He is currently working as Principal Bridge Design Engineer

coordinating and supervising design reports and technical drawings

while interacting with the Client (Ministry of Transportation of Oman)

and Resident Engineers of the Main Contractors during construction

activities. He makes sure that the delivered designs are both

structural and economically sound, with respect to the wide range of

feasible alternatives, by managing the structural design process from

inception to the final submission.

Furthermore, he has the opportunity to frequently visit construction

sites, acquiring a direct experience on the main aspects concerning

the designed structures, as well as, to understand the problems that

can emerge during every construction stage.

All the following listed structures have been first designed using

hand calculation procedures (closed-form solutions and first

principles) and then optimized by implementing realistic finite

element models to predict the final structural behavior under all

loading conditions.

Structures have been mainly designed according to AASHTO LRFD code of

practice. English is the main used language for oral communications

and for the preparation of technical reports.
