Luisa ROVERO

Curriculum

Luisa Rovero si è laureata in Architettura nel 1991 e ha ricevuto il titolo di Dottore di Ricerca in "Materiali e strutture per l'Architettura" dall' Università di Firenze nel 1996. Dal 2002 è Ricercatore in Scienza delle Costruzioni (settore scientifico disciplinare ICAR 08) presso il Dipartimento di Architettura dell'Università di Firenze e nel 2015 ha ottenuto l'Abilitazione Nazionale per Professore Associato.

Dal 2005 insegna Scienza delle Costruzioni prima nel Corso di Laurea in Architettura e poi in quello in Scienza dellArchitettura dellUniversità di Firenze. Presso il corso di Laurea in Architettura dal 2006 insegna anche nel Laboratorio di Sintesi Architetture in terra e muratura: progetto, conservazione, innovazione.

Dal 2003 è membro del Collegio dei Docenti del Dottorato in "Architettura" dell' Università di Firenze, nell'ambito del quale tiene delle lezioni sulla Meccanica delle murature.

La sua attività di ricerca corrente è focalizzata sul comportamento meccanico di strutture in muratura e sulle tecniche di consolidamento per le costruzioni in murature.

In particolare gli argomenti di ricerca trattati sono:

I materiali composite(FRP e FRCM) nel rinforzo strutturale di costruzioni in muratura, con particolare riferimento alle strutture voltate. Investigazioni sperimentali e formulazioni analitiche.
Valutazione della vulnerabilità sismica delle costruzioni in muratura
Costruzioni in terra. Caratterizzazione fisica e meccanica del materiale e tecniche per la riduzione della vulnerabilità sismica delle strutture.

Luisa ROVERO

Curriculum

Luisa Rovero graduated in Architecture in 1991 and received the PhD in “Materials and Structures for the Architecture” from the University of Florence, Italy, in 1996.

She is an Associate Professor of Structural Mechanics (ICAR08) at the Department of “Architecture” of the University of Florence and teaches “Structural Mechanics” and “Safeguard and structural safety of Built Heritage” at the Architecture School of the University of Florence. Since 2003, she is a member of the Committee of the PhD Curriculum “Structures and Restoration of Architecture and Cultural Heritage” of PHD Program in Architecture of the University of Florence.

Her current research activity is mainly focused on mechanical behaviour of masonry structures and innovative consolidation techniques for historical buildings.
In particular, her research activity dealt with:

• Composite materials for the structural strengthening of masonry structures

• Earthen construction: laboratory and in situ experimental analysis for the characterization of the material

• Earthen construction and seismic actions: experimental analysis of scale modeling on shaking table

• Structural analysis of historical and monumental constructions

• Analytical modeling of the structural behavior of corbelled domes

• Pointed arches under seismic actions

On these topics he obtained a scientific production quantified by the following SCOPUS parameters (March 2018): journals numbers: 31; total citations: 335; H-index: 11).
