Biography:
Dr. Francisco Pallarés is a researcher in the Universitat Politecnica de Valencia devoted to study the seismic response of historical masonry structures and seismic interaction between infills and RC frames. He works in the Institute of Concrete Science and Technology conducting experimental full scale laboratory tests to study structural responses to cyclic loads. He has contributed in more than 100 conference and journal papers and currently is also interested in developing more environmental-friendly materials to be used in construction.
