From Corbel Arches to Double Curvature Vaults

Dr. Gabriele Milani is Full Professor at Politecnico di Milano (2019-present), Italy.  His research focuses mainly on masonry modeling, safety assessment of historical masonry and limit analysis.  He has been awarded with a Telford Premium (2012) by ICE, a Bathe Award (2014) and a most cited author award for a paper in Computers and Structures (2006). He has co-authored more than 200 indexed papers and he served as editor for 2 books on masonry.  He co-chaired the 10th International Masonry Conference IMC10 in 2018.Dr. Vasilis Sarhosis is an Associate Professor in Structural Engineering at the University of Leeds. His research focuses on understanding the long-term behaviour of masonry infrastructure subjected to natural and man-made hazards. He performed research projects in Nepal, Greece, Italy, Japan, Iraq and the UK. Dr. Sarhosis is a Chartered Engineer (CEng), Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers (FICE) and Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) in the UK. He is currently chairing the National Scientific Committee on the Analysis and Restoration of Structures of Architectural Heritage (ISCARSAH-UK), which is part of the ICOMOS UK. He has published more than 120 peer-reviewed journal manuscripts and his research has been cited more than 2,500 times.
