Mario A. Chiorino (scientific coordinator) is Professor of Structural Mechanics at the Politecnico di Torino and Member of Turin Academy of Sciences. He has been associated with CEB activities since 1968 as member of CEB Advisory Committee, of the Committee for CEB-FIP Model Code 1990 and various Technical Committees, and as editor of CEB Design Manual "Structural Effects of Time-dependent Behaviour of Concrete". He is member of several RILEM and fib Technical Committees and of ACI Committee 209 "Creep and Shrinkage in Concrete". He has published many papers on structural mechanics and concrete viscoelasticity and has been designer of large reinforced and prestressed concrete structures: tall chimneys, bridges, nuclear plants, etc. contact

Paolo Napoli is Professor of Structural Design at the Politecnico di Torino. He has been associated with CEB activities since 1980 as member of the editorial board of the Manual "Structural Effects of Time-dependent Behaviour of Concrete" and of several Technical Committees. Inside the European Committee of Normalization (CEN) he is Convenor of Task groups " Precast Bridge elements" and " Precast ribbed floor elements". He has published many papers on structural mechanics and concrete viscoelasticity and is a designer of large reinforced and prestressed concrete structures like bridges and sport infrastructures. He has also a large experience in redesign of concrete structures. contact
Prof. Mario Sassone
Mario Sassone (program coordinator and responsible for the website) holds a PhD in structural engineering and is research assistant at the Politecnico di Torino. His doctoral thesis concerned interface problems in steel-concrete composite structures. He is presently working on reliability evaluation of reinforced concrete structures, with particular attention to long term creep effects on the serviceability limit state. He is corresponding member of ACI Committee 209 “Creep and Shrinkage in Concrete". contact
dr. Arch. Davide Bigaran
Davide Bigaran is a Ph. D. student at the Politecnico di Torino. His doctoral thesis concerns reliability evaluation of long-span reinforced concrete structures. The aim of the research is to find out the effects of uncertainties in geometric parameters, material properties and mechanical models. contact
