Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Structural engineering
  • Composite material
  • Statistics

Masonry, Structural engineering, Geotechnical engineering, Finite element method and Composite material are his primary areas of study. Paulo B. Lourenço mostly deals with Unreinforced masonry building in his studies of Masonry. His Structural engineering research focuses on Limit analysis in particular.

His work deals with themes such as Cracking, Shear, Masonry veneer, Brittleness and Cyclic loading, which intersect with Geotechnical engineering. The various areas that he examines in his Finite element method study include Incremental Dynamic Analysis and Structural load. His work on Substrate and Solid mechanics as part of general Composite material study is frequently linked to Experimental research, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His most cited work include:

  • Computational strategies for masonry structures (603 citations)
  • Multisurface Interface Model for Analysis of Masonry Structures (500 citations)
  • Computations on historic masonry structures (337 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Masonry, Structural engineering, Geotechnical engineering, Composite material and Forensic engineering. Paulo B. Lourenço has researched Masonry in several fields, including Limit analysis, Fibre-reinforced plastic and Mortar. His study in Homogenization extends to Limit analysis with its themes.

He has researched Structural engineering in several fields, including Compressive strength and Numerical analysis. His work deals with themes such as Masonry veneer, Reinforcement and Infill, which intersect with Geotechnical engineering. Composite material and Bond are frequently intertwined in his study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Structural engineering (51.69%)
  • Forensic engineering (9.57%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Paulo B. Lourenço mainly investigates Masonry, Structural engineering, Forensic engineering, Unreinforced masonry building and Finite element method. His research in Masonry intersects with topics in Flexural strength, Composite material, Mortar, Homogenization and Arch. His Mortar research integrates issues from Compressive strength and Stiffness.

The various areas that Paulo B. Lourenço examines in his Homogenization study include Discretization and Plasticity. His Structural engineering research incorporates themes from Discrete element method and Numerical analysis. His study in Unreinforced masonry building is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Frame and Nonlinear static analysis.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mapping and holistic design of natural hydraulic lime mortars (33 citations)
  • In-plane behavior of cavity masonry infills and strengthening with textile reinforced mortar (29 citations)
  • Structural assessment and seismic vulnerability of earthen historic structures. Application of sophisticated numerical and simple analytical models (24 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Structural engineering
  • Composite material
  • Statistics

Paulo B. Lourenço spends much of his time researching Masonry, Structural engineering, Unreinforced masonry building, Mortar and Finite element method. His Masonry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Numerical analysis, Structural system and Composite material, Stiffness, Homogenization. His Structural engineering study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Discrete element method and Brick.

His Unreinforced masonry building research incorporates elements of Frame, Linear elasticity and Mode. As a part of the same scientific study, he usually deals with the Mortar, concentrating on Compressive strength and frequently concerns with Flexural strength, Cement and Artificial neural network. His work carried out in the field of Finite element method brings together such families of science as Torsion, Nonlinear static analysis, Series and Identification.
