Max Hendriks

Max Hendriks is Professor in the Department of Structural Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), specializing in advanced structural analysis and assessment methodologies for concrete infrastructure. His work integrates computational modeling with experimental validation to address critical challenges in structural safety and durability.

His research focuses on:

• Structural reliability assessment using proof load testing and monitoring data
• Acoustic emission techniques for concrete damage detection
• Nonlinear finite element analysis of cracking and shear behavior
• Durability mechanisms including alkali-silica reaction and corrosion
• Numerical modeling of structural response to extreme events

Analysis of his 2021-2025 publications reveals a methodological evolution toward integrated experimental-computational frameworks, particularly in acoustic emission waveform modeling for fracture characterization and reliability-based assessment of aging infrastructure. His work consistently bridges theoretical advances with practical engineering applications, emphasizing probabilistic approaches for structural safety evaluation under complex degradation scenarios.
