Jose M. Cabrero

Architect (2001), PhD in 2006 for the University of Navarra. Humboldt Fellow (2007-2008) at the Timber Construction Institute in the University of Technology of Dresden (Germany), where he colaborated in the development of numerical and analytica models for the analysis of structural profiles made of densified wood and reinforced with fibres. He is involved in several research projects about new developments for timber structures: wooden reinforced tubes, stress and nailed laminated slabs. He collaborates on the development of an adequate failure model for wood. He has been involved in several European Research Projects financed by the ECSC related with building systems and steel structures. He has researched the behaviour of semi-rigid steel beam-to-column joints and the new fields opened by the Eurocode 3. Most of his developments are included in his doctoral dissertation,"New proposals for the design of semi-rigid steel frames and joints" (which was awarded the PhD degree Extraordinary Prize). His main research interest deal with sustainable construction, design and analysis of timber structures and the modelling of actual joints. At present he is Professor at the Department of Structural Analysis and Design. He is member of the Editorial Board of the Open Civil Engineering Journal. Member of Subcomittee 6 of Timber Structures of the National CTN 56 of Wood and Cork, and Subcommitte 5 (Eurocodes) of CTN 140.
