Enzo Martinelli is Associate Professor of Structural Analysis and Design at the Department of Civil Engineering of the University of Salerno, Italy. In 2003 he completed his PhD in Structural Engineering with a Thesis on the numerical simulation of the structural response of steel-concrete composite beams in partial interaction. In the last fifteen years he has been working on various subjects of relevance in civil and structural engineering, such as the experimental characterisation and theoretical modelling of concrete structures, the seismic response of structure, with emphasis on retrofitting of existing ones, the mechanics of fiber-reinforced composite materials and their use in strengthening existing concrete and masonry members and structures. More recently, he has been Principal Coordinator Contact in the EU-funded projects "Environmentally-friendly solutions for Concrete with Recycled and natural components" (EnCoRe, FP7-PEOPLE-2011-IRSES n. 295283), granted as part of the 7th Framework Programme, and "SUstainability-driven international/intersectoral Partnership for Education and Research on modelling next generation CONCRETE" (SUPERCONCRETE, H2020-MSCA-RISE-2014 n. 645704), financed within the framework of Horizon 2020. He has supervised and co-supervised a total of 12 PhD theses and he is regularly invited to take part in PhD defense committees, both in Italy and abroad. He has been member of the scientific committee in a number of national and international conferences and he is currently member of the editorial board of several international scientific journals. He regularly serves as a reviewer for both international scientific journals and research institutions. He is author of more than 200 publications, among which more than 50 peer-reviewed papers published in ISI journals.Liberato Ferrara is associate professor of Structural Analysis and Design and has been Fulbright visiting scholar at the Center for Advanced Cement Based Materials, Northwestern
