Beatriz Gil Rodríguez

Beatriz Gil Rodríguez is a Full Professor at the University of Navarra's Higher Technical School of Architecture (ETSA), affiliated with the Department of Construction, Facilities and Structures. She leads research within the AADS (Automated Analysis and Design of Structures) group, focusing on structural engineering topics such as semi-rigid connections, steel joints, and fire safety in residential buildings.

Research Interests:

• Steel and composite structural systems
• Semi-rigid connection mechanics
• Topological optimization of joints
• Fire safety strategies for elderly housing
• 3D modeling and experimental validation
• Load distribution in hybrid materials

Publication Trends: Recent work emphasizes additive manufacturing in steel connections, torsional behavior of joints, and advanced modeling of semi-rigid systems. She combines experimental testing with finite element analysis to improve structural reliability and efficiency.
