Pietro
Meriggi
Roma Tre University,
ItalyPietro Meriggi is an
Assistant Professor (RTD/A
researcher) in structural
Engineering (SSD ICAR09, Tecnica
delle Costruzioni – Building
Technology) at the Department of
Civil, Computer Science and
Aeronautical Technologies
Engineering of Roma Tre University.
He is a member of the Structures
Research Group and lecturer for the
MSc Course of Sustainable Structural
Design and Retrofitting.
Born in 1992, he got his BSc in
2014, his MSc in 2017, and his PhD
in Civil Engineering in 2021 at Roma
Tre University. During the PhD he
was a Visiting PhD Student at
Laboratoire des Matériaux Composites
pour la Construction (LMC2) –
Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1,
Lyon, France (November 2019), and at
IFSTTAR – Université Gustave Eiffel
– Laboratoire Navier, Champs sur
Marne (Paris), France (January –
March 2020). Before getting his
current position, he was a
postdoctoral research assistant at
Roma Tre University (2021-
2022).
Pietro's scientific field of
interest is the analysis, monitoring
and preservation of existing and
historical buildings, with a
particular focus in the conservation
of cultural heritage. Laboratory and
field testing of both traditional
and innovative materials and of
full-scale masonry structural
members, analytical and numerical
(discrete element modelling – DEM)
analysis of the static and seismic
behaviour of masonry constructions,
development and design of composite
systems for structural strengthening
(FRCM, CRM), non-destructive
surveying and monitoring of existing
structures with innovative digital
systems (digital photogrammetry and
image/video processing techniques),
are the main activities carried out
by Pietro in his research work.
On these topics, Pietro was/is
involved in research projects and
consulting activities, and is author
of 33 scientific publications
including papers in International
Journals, Conference proceedings, a
guideline and a contribution to a
volume on his PhD Thesis, which was
awarded as best doctoral thesis of
the three-year period 2018-2020 in
"Innovation in Concrete Structures
and Cementitious Materials (4th
edition)" by Federbeton - ACI Italy
Chapter.
He was/is reviewer of International
Scientific Journals and research
projects, invited speaker at the ACI
Italy Chapter - Innovation in
Concrete Structures and Cementitious
Materials 2020 and at the Research
