Early-age shrinkage - A concern for 3D-printable concrete?

A. V. Rahul is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Tirupati, India. He did  completed his PhD at IIT Madras, India, on the “Mixture development of concrete mixtures for extrusion-based 3D printing.” Before joining IIT Tirupati, he was a postdoctoral researcher at Magnel-Vandepitte Laboratory for Concrete Research, Ghent University, Belgium. At Ghent University, he was involved in the 3D2BGreen project, which focused on the construction of breakwater units in Dubai and Belgium ports using the concrete 3D printing technology. His research mainly focuses on concrete 3D printing and rheology of cement-based materials.

Advancements in numerical modelling of masonry and historical structures

From 2025, Antonio Maria D’Altri is Associate Professor of Mechanics of Solids and Structures at the University of Bologna. His research activity mainly focuses on developing numerical modelling strategies for masonry and the structural analysis of historical monuments. In 2019, he obtained his PhD at the University of Bologna with the thesis "Advances in computational analysis of masonry structures". In 2021, he has been awarded an EU-funded 3-year Global fellowship Marie Skłodowska-Curie (269k€ from Horizon 2020) for the HOLAHERIS project "A holistic structural analysis method for cultural heritage structures conservation" (https://site.unibo.it/holaheris/en). In 2022-2024 he conducted research under such Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global postdoctoral fellowship, visiting the Heritage Structures Lab at Princeton University (USA) for 18 months, and the Historical and Masonry Structures (HMS) group at UMinho for 6 months. From 2024, he is co-chair of the Young Investigators Committee (YIC) of ECCOMAS (European Community on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences).
